I was walking back to my room in the Mayo subway tunnels after getting done with my tests and getting a bite to eat. I am moving pretty fast and come upon a family of six. One of the kids was a really cute 5 year old, but he was wearing a Hawkeye stocking cap. The kid was kind of looking back waiting for the rest of his entourage to catch up. I make eye contact and then tap my hand on the Cyclones logo on my shirt, saying "Cyclones". Much to my surprise the parents, who were lagging behind burst out in agreement with me. They didn't know how their kid adopted the wrong team. The parents were Cyclones fans but somehow the youngster had escaped the nest and was going his own way. The ensuing conversation was funny as the kid just stared back and had nothing to say. He just stood their with the cutest look on his face.

I ran into many other Cyclones fans today. It pays off to wear the logo in that you meet the most interesting people.
