REDSTEEL Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 One year I just hopped in my car and started driving, no map, no idea where I was going. I just went driving around the country for two weeks. I stopped in a small town in Idaho, small enough that I have no idea what the name of it was. Probably about 500 people. The only thing they had to eat was a run down Pizza Hut so I stopped in for a pizza. I had a Husker jacket on and ran into a gentlemen about 80 years old, said he had never left the state of Idaho but this guy knew more about Husker football then T.O himself. After 2 hours of talking to this man in utter shock that he knew the things he did, he paid for my pizza, gave me a hand shake and pointed me toward Washington. I have always wanted to head back up that way and see if I could find him again. That has been my only freebie! Well you got your post read on the air 1620, and of course they gave no clue of why you posted what you did. You sounded older then I pictured Quote Link to comment

Hskr86 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Be thankful you guys are at least in area's where folks know what college football is... I live in North Jersey, and I was at the Garden State Plaza (big freakin' mall here) with my girlfriend, and had my Blackshirts sweatshirt on. I had some rocket scientist ask me if I was in a motorcycle gang from Nebraska... (I'm guessing this would be the same type of genius that asks if he needs to take a long rifle when visiting Nebraska... you know, for the 'injuns') Well, me being one of said "injuns", i've decided to take it to them, and invade the northeast... go get 'em! question is, is there anything worth taking...

dtbugeater Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I live in St. Louis. I don't get much free stuff, but I have had a lot of good conversations. I also get the head nod when you run into someone else with gear on. It sounds silly, but that head nod feels good--like a real understanding is there without anything being said. Or maybe it just means: I'm happy to run into an intelligent human being instead of one of those Mizzou ass-clowns. One or the other. Quote Link to comment
bennychico11 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I haven't gotten anything free from my gear yet... although I will say it gets me recognized when I travel. And I'm all about the attention Christmas week I flew up to Seattle to see my mom. As SOON as I got off the plane and walked 50 feet, a random guy standing waiting to board his plane yelled go Huskers Quote Link to comment
Crashman44b Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 People are always nice to me in Iowa. I really like going to Ames. The fans are cool and the people are nice.At the game I went to the lady next to me chatted me up like she had knowen me since I was a kid. I was in the second row and the cheerleaders gave me a hard time and I even got on TV!! It was a blast! Quote Link to comment
