As for the others, I've actually had the pleasure of hanging out with Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, and Trace Armstrong in Gainesville. It was back in 2003. Late at night on a Tuesday, my buddies and I were hanging at a local pup after a huge accounting test. Side Bar was the name. In stroll three huge dudes and some other people. Not a huge enterage, but noticeable. There were only about 10 people in there before they came in. I didn't catch it at first, because Taylor and Thomas had hats on backwards...but my buddy leans over...another huge phinfan...and spots Taylor. Now we didn't want to be those guys who annoy the crap out of celebrities, but we went over nonchalantly and said hello and expressed our love for the team and thier accomplishments. We started to walk away and Armstrong asks if we are gators. We say yes. He says, and I qoute, "Hell...have some drinks with us then." We then have beers together. Just one a piece. We paid for them. Nothing spectacular happened afterwards. They didn't ask us to be their buddies or anything, but it was awesome. Armstrong was visiting family in the area and they were all in Jax for something anyways. There were no autographs. No Pictures. Just hanging out and making them laugh. It was great. For those 20 minutes they were just big guys hanging out and having drinks with real friends(not us, but the people they came with). We actually only talked football for about 2 minutes. The rest we spent on what we were studying, politics, and being young enough to enjoy college. Then we shook hands with all three of them and said goodbye and walked out. It was hands down a "never forget" moment. Believe what you want, but it's the truth.
