I met Eric this past weekend. One cool fuckin dude.

He could be the most popular guy in new Jersey by the way. His story is incredible and his personality before and after the incident was/is great.

You going to any Rutgers football games this year S&L? I have never gone to a game, but my buddy is an alum and has season tickets, may want to check out a game this season. They don't know how to do college football tailgating out here like they do in the Midwest, might have to teach a lesson or two haha
