I had just gotten to First Ascent and was changing into my climbing shoes.
A young feller' walks and sits on the bench next to me. He has full OSU regalia--black sweats emblazoned with scarlet lettering, a Rose Bowl sweat shirt from God knows when, and a black baseball hat with the scarlet O.
"Aren't the Bucknuts playing tonight?" I asked.
"No. That's tomorrow. Thank God they fired that coach."
"Yeah. It's been a rough year for them. I've been lucky to see my team a bunch games--I'm a Wildcat." I threw the last part in because I was feeling salty.
"Kentucky?" [I wasn't sporting any NU logos]
[chuckling]. "No. Northwestern. I am used to us being overlooked. It has served us well the last two seasons."
"What do you think of the stadium plan?"
"I have some great memories, but I won't miss that old barn. The new one should be great. They nailed the basketball arena. I think football will have a similar result. I have never been to the Shoe. That must be a madhouse."
"Actually, I went to Cincinnati.."
"Really? You are a Wal-Mart Buckeye?"
"You Northwestern people are annoying..."
