We'd watch NASCAR races on tv.

He knew a ton about it being an Alabama native with Talladega and all. He'd sit there, dip with Moco and all the guys on our floor who watched the races.
Picture like five white dudes and Tuck sitting in a dorm tv lounge watching the Aarons 499.
And then there was Alabama Black Snake

Justin didn't want to get calls from outsiders (back in the days when we had phones in the dorm rooms), so he entered his first name differently in the ND directory. He was listed in the Notre Dame Directory as Alabama Black Snake Tuck.
Fast forward to the next year, when Terp and I moved into the room he had occupied the previous year. Tuck had given NFL teams that number to contact him and forgot to tell them he moved to a different room, I guess. So there we were, getting phone calls from NFL teams explaining to them, "No, Justin is in the ND directory, just search 'Alabama Black Snake Tuck' and you'll find his number."
Back in 2004...

.....me andmy buddy were on a road trip and stopped in South Bend to watch a summer practice. This was when they were on the fields near the basketball courts near the Bookstore. As players walked out neither one of us were impressed. Lots of big dudes but nothing special. Then Tuck and Abiamiri walked out together. God in Heaven, they were Like cartoon characters. Unreal.
Tried to guard Justin Tuck in a bookstore game.

We were pretty decent-it was round of 32 or 16 when we played Tuck's team.
He dunked on my head.
He was Alabama Mr. Basketball IIRC

He was all state and POY in Alabama's high school class 4A. He wasn't Mr. Basketball.
