Here's a picture of myself and Phil Ford. He came to speak at an event today in little ol' Pikeville, North Carolina. I talked to him for about 5 minutes, just as nice a guy as he could be, and very humble. He thanked me for coming and I told him there was no way I was missing a Tar Heel legend coming to my town, and he said "I'm not sure about legend." I told him we'd have to agree to disagree. Anyway, just thought it was super cool, and I've now met 4 of the living players with their jerseys retired.

Phil Ford is a great guy (Rocky Mount native) I saw him several months back at the Tarboro High hall of fame ceremony , he and Kelvin Bryant (who was inducted) were there. I can't help but wonder how things could have been if Phil could have taken over for Coach Gut....the possibilities.
