Story time with Drake Johnson/ Cool Citrus Bowl Interactions

Submitted by SBo on

I created my account just so I could post this. At the kickoff luncheon for the Citrus Bowl, the players are seated among the fans. Luckily for me and my table, Drake was our player. He told us a very interesting story about him meeting Harbaugh: Harbaugh texted all of the players on Jan 1 and said that he wanted to come meet them if they were in AA. Johnson was, so he texted Harbaugh back with his address.

Unbeknownst to Drake, this would be much more than a meet and greet. So Harbaugh gets to drakes house and congratulates him for the game against OSU. Harbaugh then mentions the injury and asks Drake if he's been taking any pain medication. Drake says "not recently, I tossed them". Harbaugh asks why, and Drake explains that they were making him sick.

Harbaugh proceeds to ask Drake if he has a girlfriend and how long they've been together. Drake says yes, and that they've been dating five years. Harbaugh- "consistency. I like that". Harbaugh then asks again why Drake "tossed out" his meds, and what specifically he did with them. Drake reiterates his sickness and says that he "flushed them down the toilet". Harbaugh asks "Did you toss them out or flush them down the toilet?". Drake says that he tossed them out.

Harbaugh then asks Drake if his girlfriend is home, and she is, she's downstairs. Harbaugh says, very enthusiastically, "well let's go meet her!". At this point Drake knows that Harbaugh is going to drill her on the disposal of the meds, and sure enough, his first question to her is "is drake taking pain medication?". She says no. "What did he do with them?". "He tossed them out". Harbaugh turns to Drake and says "Man of your word. I like that" ----- Pure Harbaugh.

This thread should also be used to talk about any interactions you had with anyone of note.

Harbaugh actually spent an hour observing the lone checkout lady at Kroger, watching her scan items with perfect fundamentals and refuse to fold due to pressure. He admired her dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction, and proceeded to give her a firm handshake and check out with his only item, a gallon of whole milk.

Ready for this? I saw Harbaugh driving down Stadium on Christmas Eve. I was wondering who this guy was stopped in the road, then realized they were letting someone out of the arbor farms parking lot. Then I looked closer and realized it was Jim. Just out there being a conscientious driver. 

 

He drives a ford.

I love the story. Great anecdote about Harbaugh. But that is one bizarre avatar. Jed York? I guess it is a good reminder of how and why we got Harbaugh, but still . . . not an avatar I'd choose!
