Craziest Thing at VT:

On Thursday, November 6th, 2008, I gave away my Maryland vs. Virginia Tech football ticket. I have done some silly things over the years, but most can't compare to passing on a precious VT football ticket. One of my buddies wanted the ticket, so I simply gave it to him. I asked him to do one thing only: "pay it forward" and do something nice for someone else.

Interesting Facts:

1) I have severely sprained and/or broken my ankles four times in the last four years: freshman year football, street football, county basketball and Thanksgiving Day football. 2) I was four rows behind homeplate for the 2004 Red Sox vs. Yankees A-Rod vs. Varitek fight. 3) Any random person can "make my day" by giving me a big smile, simply saying thanks, and randomly saying "hi," so feel free to do it if you see me!
