Yes! That's me and #3 Joey Dorsey from the Memphis Tigers basketball team! Tina and I both have small crushes on him. Here's how this picture happened. Tina and I decided to go downtown to see a movie for the first time in forever. We saw 'I Am Legend' which was pretty dark but very good. So, we're walking to the theater, and I am decked out in my Tiger gear fully representin' with my shirt that you see here and my belt that says, "Go Tigers Go" over and over. And so this ginormously tall lurvly man walks by us and looks at me and says "Hey, good job representing the Tigers" and smiled and walked past us. So, I say, "YEAH-EH!" (wow-that was clever..yeesh) and as we're walking on, it finally clicks that, holy scnhikees, that was Joey Dorsey. And as I go to tell Tina this epiphany, I look at her and she has her mouth draped open and this goofy look on her face which needless to say certified that she knew who he was before I did. So then, we decide that we need to chase him down and get our picture with him. So we fly out the back door and begin the hunt. I'm still in my boot mind you. He crosses the street and makes it through a parking lot in record time, namely because he has 20' long, muscular, strong, built, rippling...oh um, sorry.....legs whose 2 steps equal about 20 of ours, maybe 25 for me because of my dumb hobble boot. Anyways, I just can't catch up and so I tell Tina to run after him and holler for him, but she is pretty worthless cuz she's giddy like a little school girl. So we lose him. We walk back in to get our movie tickets and hang our heads in shame and disappointment. Throughout the whole movie we would randomly look at each other and stick out our lips and say "Doh!" So then, we're walking out of the movie and guess who's getting a pretzel at the concession stand? Yes, that's right, it's our boy, Joey. Yippee! Commence dazed and confused stance for Tina again, except this time she manages to mumble to me, "Go get! Me want picture, too scared to get. You go talk" or well at least something along those lines and so I hobble up to him and say, "Joey, I'm gonna be obnoxious and ask if I can get my picture with you." Tina is standing safely at a distance next to a column. And he says, "Yeah, sure." So I start to talk to him like a retard. I almost called his coach Calimari(what we regularly call him) and fumbled words. But I call Tina over and she says, "I'll get your picture with him." And I say, "Ok, cool and then I'll get yours with him." And she says, "Heehee no...I'll just get yours hee hee" and he looks at her and says, "You don't want your picture with me?? :( " and she says,"Ok!" and thus the following......
I also asked him to sign a book for us. Tina and I walked away with our heads held high and our cheeks flush.
