So I'm in Chicago right now, doing some job interviews. Anyways, I was just coming back up to my hotel room when I stepped into the elevator with a young couple who started up some small talk. They made a bunch of generic comments about the whether before asking me "Where are you from?" I reply, "I'm from Ohio." Overcome with joy, bursting in smiles, the young woman holds her hand up to give me a high five while asking, "Buckeye?!?" I remained in a rather stoic disposition, "No, I'm a Rocket." With obvious disappointment, she withdrew from the high five and commented, "How can you not root for the Buckeyes?" I plainly stated, "I didn't go to school there." Following up, I asked them both where they were from - they replied, "We're from Missouri."

On a sidenote, I ran into Ozzie Guillen in the hotel lobby earlier in the day. He was trying to go incognito, but wasn't doing a very good job considering he was wearing a Sox hat and speaking loudly in broken English interspersed with frequent profanities.

Well done!
"I root for the University Toledo, not for the University of Columbus."

Nice work.

How can you not root for the Buckeyes? Are you kidding me?

The punchlines to that one are almost limitless.

This isn't about BG?
