I SHOOK JOE PA'S HAND TODAY
 

Today the quarterback at my school verbally commited to PSU and I walk into school around 10:45 cause I went in late, and there was a crowd of people outside the office telling me Joe Paterno is at our school. About an hour later our whole school lined up around the school from the office to the football coaches office screamign JOE PA JOE PA.. He walked by I got a sweet video on my phone of me shaking his hand. Pretty happy I didnt skip today.

What big sports figures have you either met/shook hands with?

Eagles suck.

Pretty sweet though.

The man in your sig.

Mike Sweeny of the KC Royals. See thread, "Autographs".

ed kranepool calls my dad

Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Joe Calzaghe (held his belt). That's about it.

No one really. The Boston College coach came to my school one time cuz my teammate ended up going there. He isn't that famous though haha

The ones that I remember.

Rod Carew, Ronnie Lippett, Lawyer Milloy, Byron Dafoe, Lyndon Byers, Terry O'Rielly, Killer Kiwalaski, Drew Bledsoe. That's all I remember off hand.

I'm sure there's a bunch of baseball players I'm forgetting from when I used to work at baseball card shows.

Nobody, well I'm not counting wrestlers.

But I walked right by Jeter (almost walked right into him cause I wasn't looking) in a mall once. But I'm not a person that's going to bother people, so I didn't attempt to shake his hand or anything. There was lots of little 15 year old girls screaming at him though from all over.

yeah, I'm not a fan of bothering famous people when they're trying to do their own thing.

Most of those I met was through some charity event with a few exceptions.

To go along with:

Derrick Thomas, Gene Stallings, David Palmer, Deshae Townsend, Shaun Alexander, Chris Samuels, basically anyone in the pros that came from the Tide, Bo Jackson, a whole bunch of wrestlers, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, Robert Horry, some others I'm sure.

Basically 90% of the current/graduating class from the Tide. Either from camps or playing against them in high school.

Those are the ones I can think of.

Zach from Saved By the Bell.

That's cool. I'm a big Penn State fan as well, and I would have taken the chance to meet Joe Pa as well since I never have.
