We were introduced by a mutual friend at a UM vs UF game. Our dear friend, Liz had worked with Allen in one of her first jobs out of college. Despite his move to Ohio, they had remained in contact. Allen is a UF alumni and Cristy would often meet up with friends at UM games. Liz made the connection and arranged for Allen to pass by the UM tailgate. As we both sported our respective team gear, we had some friendly banter (smack talking) about who was going to win. Cristy asked Allen and his friend to pass by the tailgate post-game, and he replied, "well it all depends who wins since one of us will be on the losing side of things." Gators won but Allen opted not to pass by the tailgate predominately overrun by Hurricanes. But in the end, he chased down Cristy's number and made sure to arrange for another meeting. Looks like they both scored big on that day!
