To support our Visiting Industry Professor endowment, our Atlanta Alumni Group and our Industry Advisory Council sold tickets for a chance to win a custom painted Harley Davidson FatBob motorcycle. A little over 400 tickets were sold @ $100 each.
To draw the winning ticket, the Atlanta group decided to incorporate this in to their annual fall social. The social was held at Jocks & Jills in Atlanta during the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game.
The group had the bike at their annual golf tournament. Of course, I had to try it out.

Kelley picked an unbiased person to draw the ticket.
The crowd, especially Wayne Bylsma, eagerly awaiting the drawing.
The winning ticket was old by alum, Dan Messer.
Kelley called the guy who won. He lives in Ohio and told Kelley that he was recuperating from a motorcycle accident. He said that he was thrilled to win because his bike was messed up from his accident. He even said that he would drive to Auburn the following day (from Ohio) to pick up the bike.

It was a fun night in the ATL. But, this made for a late night betting back to Auburn. Glad we won. It made the drive home so much more enjoyable.
