We were having supper at the Steel City Diner with our friends Bonnie and John. They had driven up from Daytona for the game.
I got a call out of the blue. I could not hear him so I handed the phone to Lulu. She said I should take this call outside.
A guy asked me if I needed tickets for the Clemson game. He had sold me tickets to a Duke basketball game once - great tickets. He said he had 4 on the 40 yard line.
He said - meet me at the Walmart where we met before at 8:30. John and I went there in our red Prius. At 8:30 exactly - a big white Cadillac with giant wheels on it pulled in. He was flying two FSU flags. Just like a drug deal - we got out - shook hands - exchanged greetings. He handed me the tickets - I checked them out - and I handed him cash.
The guy is a Golden Chief. They pay $25,000 for the right to buy 24 season tickets - they pick first.
At any rate - we have 4 nice tickets - to a big game - and we can sit together - the 4 of us - for the biggest home game of the year.
