March 2, 2011 - Determination paid off for Heather Scott!579 viewsWe sat across from the OU bench, and I scanned the crowd for any sign of Big Ben. I saw a really big guy with a blonde woman on his arm enter the arena from the tunnel and make their way to the press table. I spent the entire first half determining whether that really was Ben, but when I saw him sign a jersey for someone, BAM! I knew it was Ben for sure AND he gave an autograph! (HA! in your face Uncle Jim!) Well adrenaline kicked in and I made my way to Guest Services, where I explained that I was from the Burgh area, had my terrible towel, and asked if they could possibly get it to him to sign. Yeah… Not quite. They didn’t budge and in fact tried to act like it wasn’t Ben. I wasn’t giving up. I asked if they knew anyone else that could possibly help me. Surprisingly they directed me to a gentleman in a suit standing just down the hall. Although he empathized, he said as an OU employee he could not take me to Ben, nor take anything to him for an autograph. He explained that Ben didn’t want his attendance announced as he didn’t want to take away from his sister’s Senior Night. BUT this gentlemen understood my plight, and who knew, he was from Pittsburgh too! He suggested I try to meet Ben outside of the arena.
We stayed through Carlee’s senior tribute, then headed to the parking area. Just as I came around the corner of the building, he and Ashley were headed in my direction from the opposite side. Once he got close enough I kindly asked if he’d “do a Pittsburgh gal a favor and take a picture with me.†At least that’s what my friend said I said (lol).
Ben was so nice to stop, and said “Sure, come onâ€. My heart was beating a million miles a minute. I could not believe it! I hopped on over and put my small arm around him – I’m pretty sure squeezing his side way too tight, and had the biggest smile on my face...
