Today, in Savannah while having lunch outside at very nice restaurant with my Lady Friend & her Sis..
we were sitted beside an attractive couple about age 40..and the fellow and I struck up a conversation and found out they were visiting from Dallas.
I immediately asked him if he was a “college” football fan and he said Longhorns..and off we went talking about UT & CU..Schedules, 1st games, NIL, their starting QB (the blonde haired one that 1st went to OHst ), etc.
He asked if Clemson was the school that had the Hill entry and I confirmed by bringing up a colored pic of it to show.
We then talked about Horns playing in some new SEC venues which he hoped to travel to..with a LSU night game being a priority.
I let him know they were Deaf Valley and we we “The” Death Valley.
As they left we guys shook hands, gave our names (Jason) and told him to look me up on Tigernet sometime.
Now, here’s the punch line!
Minutes later I handed my debit card to waitress who informed me that Jason from Dallas had paid for meal..about $160 Worth!
I was speechless!!!
So, I’m a big TEXAS Longhorn Fan, Now!
Go Tigers..Hook ‘Em!

Had an A&M couple do that for me in Bryan when I was there for the 2018 A&M game! My grandfather, his brother, 2 uncles and a hand full of cousins went to A&M. I could pull for them if it wasn't for JimBob! Have a couple of UT cousins too!

…$5M.
You’ve got to watch the market rates for selling out, buddy.
You’re leaving a lot of money on the table.

There still are fine Southern gentlemen around. Very nice gesture on his part. Nothing wrong with Texas, especially if they can reclaim Austin from the lunatics.

You mean this dude paid for wine, not lunch. 😂
Unless you're eating Ruth's Chris, which would be a shame in Savannah.
Although I've spent a chunk at Alligator Soul that could rival such a lunch.
Where'd j'eat?

RU one of those that subtly flaunt your wealth, like say Tigerbalm1®? Asking for a friend. If so, you can maybe pay it forward and pay for our lunch and it won't be $160 - a couple of grilled sirloin or salmon plates at Appleby's, about $forty something with teas and tip. But of course life is short, so live it up lbb.

I gave you a TU, but I do, in fact, have an idea about it. I share in the significance of just how much going the extra mile and living the example really is. It matters to me, and it does matter to others, at least to some others.
