Pictures from Chick Fil A Bowl/FCA Breakfast

As many of you know, I grew up a Florida State football fan and had the privilege to attend the Chick Fil A Bowl/Fellowship of Christian Athletes' breakfast at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis.  The guest speaker was none other than Bobby Bowden, legendary coach of the Florida State Seminoles (who happened to be playing in the game).  Orlando Sentinel FSU beat writer Andrew Carter (who's awesome BTW) did a write up on the event highlights and can be found here.

Pics from the event (thanks to my Dad):
TNT's Ernie Johnson, Jr. served as MC for the event

Matt and I played HS basketball together for a couple of years.
I'm extremely proud of the way he represents the game and his family.
Big Red played in Japan in 2010 and is headed back over for 2011.
Look out for his "little" brother too.  Luke is in the Yankees Farm System.

  2. Absolutely. It all starts with the family ties. My Dad grew up a 'Nole fan and we had season tix from 2001-2009.

    Gave them up without regrets this year.

    Happy New Year!
