11 - Bradie James

Quick story on Bradie James. My friend Lee Brecheen was having an awards banquet at Hooters in BTR. I was sitting with a few friends and Billy Cannon. In the audience was the Michigan coach that was recruiting James. James went up to accept his award, while talking, with some encouragement from the crowd, he gave his commitment to the Tigers. The Michigan coach got up, never seen I guy so pissed off at a Hooters! 
To add, Cannon could have been a comedian, the guy had some great stories.
