Former High School All American/NCAA National Champion Maurice Clarett 2/25/14

It has been over 3 weeks since my last post, because I have been very caught up with school and work, but today I somehow in the middle of exam week, and despite taking 18 credits of classes this semester,  was able to make time to get an autograph.

Last week I found out that former Ohio State running back, Maurice Clarett would be at my school for a few lectures. For those that don't remember(even I'm a little hazy because I was so young), Maurice tore up the SEC and lead the Crimson Tide to a perfect record, as well as the National Championship in 2002. For quite some time now he has been traveling the country talking to young adults and teenagers about making the right decisions, because in his earlier years he got himself into a lot of trouble.

I was just sitting and studying where I knew he would walk in so I knew I wouldn't be wasting any time, so this 'graphing opportunity was kind of a no brainer.

The public lecture was set for 3:00, and I had a meeting to go to right after, and an exam after that so I had to get him before his lecture for any chance of success.

He came in at about 2:40, and I followed him into the theatre where he would be speaking. One or two other people followed me, and while he was quiet, he signed my Sports Illustrated no problem. It would have been cool to talk to him, but I got what I wanted signed, and ended the day on a good note.

This was the 16th different Sports Illustrated I have gotten signed.
