more millionaires

part of the college experience, if you go to a school of respectable athletic measure, is to randomly run into the athletes around campus. i hung out with one basketball player during orientation, another one played on my IM football team, and graham brown lived in my apartment last year. i randomly met one of the all-ammerican male gymnasts playing ball one time, and once an unnamed former roommate drunk dialed michael phelps' cell from mirasol's phone. last night at rick's i ran into the fifth michigan football player i've shook hands with. yeah, it sounds stupid, but these guys are future millionaires, and when i watch them on tv catching a touchdown or sacking a quarterback, i can say that i shook that hand.

alan branch, michigan's all-american defensive tackle who's slated to be a top 10 nfl pick in this year's draft, was at rick's last night dancing his ass off. he was with the rest of the defensive line, or maybe the offensive line i can't tell because they're all fucking huge guys. i thought gabe watson was a giant in person, but alan branch is like 1 1/2 times gabe's size. the guy is enormous, and i'm honestly glad that i didn't have to go up against people even half his size playing in high school because he would eat me as a post-workout snack.

i've shook hands with him, steve breaston and braylon edwards at the gym, gabe watson at a fasa football game, and mike hart at a very random house party freshman year. it's not like i've really had conversations with these guys or are part of their entourage but contact is contact.


imagine this 6'6", 331 pound guy shaking his ass in the club. then imagine being the girl
