Section 150, 13 rows up from the corner of the endzone, amazing seats. We were soaking wet even with ponchos, the rain didn't stop for the 1st half and by halftime our shorts and shoes were full of water.

The touchdowns were on our opposite side, a great throw by Chad to Cotchery, in that drive three 3rd down conversions after Miami went up and the dropped INT. Leon's fumble I thought was going to be killer, but he sure did make up for it with his amazing play at the end.

I'll post more on the game later on, but after the game is when I was in disbelief. We were looking for my car and couldn't find it...So we walk around the stadium and we hit the Jets team buses...Amazing timing.

A whole bunch of fans are on the wall and I find a spot...I see Na'Shon Goddard and call him out ans say "South Carolina!." And he walks over to me and says "You know it." and gives me a high five while I credit his team for the win...Mike Nugent I yelled an "Ohio State Nugent!" and he gave me a wave, I yelled "Vic! Michigan bro!" And he gave me a wave as well. Vilma, whos jersey I had on, I yelled his name and a "The U!" And he just gave a glance and went to the bus. Same with Eric Smith, but he gave a smile and a wave after I yelled Michigan State. Nick Mangold gave us a wave but signed elsewhere. We got a wave from Bryan Cox as well since we were yelling for him. The mother of the little kid wanted me to do everything I could to get Chad Pennington...But he walked towards the bus, I told them to cheer Marshall and Chad gave us a wave.

Then the huge stuff happens...Laveranues Coles walks over a 1st time and I ask if he's alright, and he says in a low voice "Yeah i'm alright." So he goes to the bus then comes back to the crowd and he came to our little area because of this small Jets fan there wanting autographs...I ask if we can see a Penguin Dance and he just gives a chuckle, I give him a high-5 as he leaves and tell him to have a safe trip while he thanks me.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson comes out like a mammoth and I tell the little area to just say "D'Brick!"(They kept asking me to get players to come over since I got a high-5 from Na'Shon Goddard and they were just like who the hell is he?) So I kept yelling names and their alma mater while I either got a wave or got them to come over. Credited the Jets on a great game while he thanked me.

Kerry Rhodes then comes out and I just start saying Kerry! And mention Louisville! This was the best experience of it because while he signed me hat, he talked to me. I mentioned Louisville and he gave me a look then I asked if we could see the "Penguin Dance." And he stepped back for a second just laughing, then I ask how he likes watchin the film everyday with Vilma and he gives a smirk and says "It goes well, I like it." And as he leaves I wish him a
Merry Christmas and get 2 high-5's from him wishing him a safe trip. He was the best of the bunch.

DeWayne Robertson came out and I yelled "Kentucky!" then he walked slowly over, the dude has his bottom grill in gold. I congragtulated him on a great win, and wished him a safe flight, getting a handshake and an autograph.

So we wait for a few more minutes then head out...But as I pass by the buses, I start waving towards the bus and Eric Barton is looking at me, and I keep waving and he gives me a fist pump, and Victor Hobson gives me a wave from inside the bus. I saw Mike Tannenbaum in another bus but couldn't grap his attention.

So in total...I got waves from Eric Smith, Nick Mangold, Victor Hobson, Jonathan Vilma, Chad Pennington, Eric Barton, and Mike Nugent, and Bryan Cox.

Got up close with Na'Shon Goddard, Laveranues Coles, Kerry Rhodes, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, and DeWayne Robertson.

Getting autographs from DRob,Coles, and Rhodes on the inside bill of my Jets hat, and DRob signed a shirt for me. I wasn't big on the autographes, being 19 it's nice but it's more for the kids. I was more about talking to the player and getting a high-5.

An unbelievable time that I will never forget...What a time.

I'll post on the game tomorrow or Friday.
