Getting autographs.

Saturday, April, 12 we went to the A-Day game. At halftime Mal Moore was presenting some awards. When he was finished I was ready to get his autograph on my A-Day program that I got before the game. I got it on the front cover of the program. After I got it, I went back to my seat. On my way I heard some kids talking about how they got Julio Jones autograph. I asked them where he was they told me he was sitting in the red seats with the recruits and that he was the guy with the pony tail. They told me he was getting mad for having to sign so many autographs . When I got back to my seat I told my dad about it and told him I wanted to go up there and try to get his autograph. He let Matt and I go try. There were two other little boys that were trying to do the same thing. We were looking to see if we could see him. One of the security policemen asked who we were looking for we said Julio Jones. Two older men heard us and gave some advice. They told us if we went up the way we were going to his girlfriend would stop us before we got there, he said we got to go around and sneak up on the other side and go up to him before anybody can say anything. I did not see Julio but the other two little boys did and they went up there first we went after them. I was a little bit nervous we would get in trouble we went up there anyways. I saw him and said "can i have your autograph please" and before I got finished his girlfriend said these guys want to watch the game try to come back later. I knew that was pretty much my only chance so I asked him anyway and he signed my football.
