this happened to me twice recently....

Post by RobbyFalcon »

Once while Christmas shopping and once while at Kroger's, I was asked about my hat.

"What's BGSU?"

It didn't bother me that the 50 year old clerk at the mall didn't know what BGSU meant and still looked confused when I said Bowling Green State University.

It did bother me when the kid bagging groceries who looked to be 17 had no idea what I was talking about.

It shouldn't bug me if some kid in Fairfield will never know the magic of Howard's or Anderson Arena or the Doyt, but it did.

Go Falcons!!

The kid is a dumbass for not knowing that. You should have asked him if he was going to enjoy his career as a bagboy.

Hmm. While your response was both minumally informative AND pointlessly dickish, it was not enough so to warrent a ding from Flipper. That's finesse. Well played, jacojdm!

I went to Kroger's here in Kentucky wearing my BG hat and they didn't know where Fairfield was, let alone that Hamilton had suburbs. :wink:

I saw Hamilton at the mall last week. He was buying a new "Fairfield" hat.
