eBay update: Last week we mentioned a Tennessee Volunteer football
fan who was selling his allegiance to the highest bidder. The story has
taken some dramatic turns since then. Though the auction drew some
130,000 hits and a high bid of $1,400, eBay pulled the item less than
two hours before the deadline, citing violations of its rules. By then,
though, the high bidder—LSU fan and Lafayette, La., lawyer Mike Moity
-- had been in touch with the soon-to-be-ex Vols fan, Steve Johnson.
When Moity learned that Johnson wanted to spend the money on treatment
for his autistic 6-year-old son, Moity insisted that he honor his bid
despite eBay pulling the plug. Johnson didn’t feel comfortable taking
the money directly, so instead the two will use the cash to start a
foundation to help defray the cost of medical treatment for autistic
children. Moity is also flying Johnson and his son to Atlanta to watch
LSU play Miami in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30, complete with personalized
LSU jerseys. Indeed, with his generosity, Moity might have picked up
more than one new LSU fan.

Sniff. Makes one proud to be an LSU fan! I hope this gets the kind of press that the bad stuff gets.

Way to geaux, Moity!:thumb:
