Well damn, let me first start off saying that this was the greatest day of my life! Long post but worth the read if you're a VY fan. I was chillin in my dorm room, browsing the bbs when my friend texted me saying that "V YOUNG IS AT THE GREG BALLIN!" I texted him back asking if there was a big crowd and whether or not he was signing autographs. He told me he wasn't so I didn't bring anything. When I got there, there was like 50 people sitting on the bleachers watching him play 5 on 5. I sat on the other side of the court right behind the backboard because there was not that many people there. The first game was VY and his friends vs Dexter Pittman and four pickup guys. He and Pittman guarded each other, and seemed like they were cool with each other as they were playfully pushing and slapping each on the butt. Pittman slamed the ball everytime he got it down low. He was crying fouls every time he wasn't able to score (but wasn't calling anything on VY though, only on his friends). VY's friends were all like "wtf that wasn't a foul!" VY wasn't really trying to play, just messing around. Occasionally he would bring up the ball like a pg, other times he would just stand behind even though his team was on offense. On one play though, he did do an alley-oop dunk one time. That sh*t was tight. He was bricking most of his jumpers early on (airballing twice) but got hot near the end. The highlight of the game for me was when Young was on the defensive end guarding Pittman, who got the ball down low. Pittman went up for a layup but Vince fouled him and crashed onto the bleachers between some dude and...ME! Man it happened so fast I couldn't believe my eyes. I mean come on VINCE YOUNG WAS RIGHT NEXT TO ME! My right arm was covered with his sweat (now I have been blessed with some of greatness ) Young sat next to me for a good 15 seconds and said "Gadamn that's a big mother ****er!" The game came down to the wire. Pittman had a chance to win it, but he missed and called fouled, which VY's friends didn't like all that much. Pittman's team got the ball back but couldn't convert and VY's team ended up winning on the next play. Young played a second game against another group of his friends, but lost that one. Afterwards as he was laying down on the side of the court, a small group of people came up to him, asking for an autograph. I was thinking you're not gonna get it (since my friend told me he wasn't doing that). Next thing you know he started giving out autographs. The funny thing was that you could tell that the first group who got his autograph just bought some stuff (as they were still in the bag they bought it in). Once I saw him autographing people's stuff, I was thinking "**** that I'm gonna get his autograph too" and jetted back into my dorm room. I grabbed two UT shirts (a typical orange UT shirt and the white Rose Bowl tee) and ran back to the gym. He was sitting with his friends on the bleachers that I previously sat on. I came up to him and was like "Yo Vince! Could you autograph these for me?" He didn't say anything to me as he saw the girl behind me (who worked at the Greg) with a bunch of sh*t for him to sign. He was like "That's too much to autograph." You could tell he was a little annoyed with her. That's pretty much sums it up. On top of that, after I came back from getting his autograph, I checked online to see what I made on my chem test. 100 baby! BTW, I was thinking about just running up to him and tackling his ass so I could boast it to everyone by saying that I was one of the select fews to have done it! How funny would that have been? BEST DAY EVER! I LOVE YOU VINCE YOUNG!

OK, I'm not gonna lie I would head up to the rec and watch the game to if I had nothing to do but why would you go get some t-shirt for the guy to sign? Just hang out a chill your a grown man, geting a players signature is for kids. When I was a kid I got Biggio, Doran, Walling, Davis and other Astros to sign for me but now your a grown man so just chill. My .02
Pshhh. I was in the same building as Anna Kournikova. I'm 23, and I've been Jonesing her since I was 13.
Vince Young went to Riverside once on a healing mission and held a hobo's hand and cured his diarrhea. No lie.
I was at a party once and the drinks ran out. All was lost but in comes VY with a smirk on his face and he told us to fear not. He then proceeded to turn the tap water into beer. Amazing! You had to be there.
well i have my own amazing story too, i was out bowling one night when VY walks in the building. All he hit was strikes, amazinggg
I got them for my brother, he's like the number one VY fan. You couldn't chill with him as he was surrounded by his posse.
Didn't Vince's guy on the Madden contest lose though? He's no savior then. Beside isn't Matt Schaub the new anointed one?
Craig Winder was there too by the way. I think he played the best out of all the people on the court when I was watching. He was hustling the whole time. I didn't get any autographs, but it's pretty cool that I saw KD for the first two times in my life both in a week's span.
I was chilling in my dorm room and realize to myself, Holy **** I didn't even pass grammar school. Then i remember that i just smoked a fat ass mandingo blunt and puffed it out my own ass. I was really ****ed up!!!!
