I was at the baseball game last night in Lawrence, sat two rows behind Robert. He's still at it. "Double play!" (with two outs). "Balk!" (with no one on base).
We were at the Mizzou and Texas Tech baseball games in MHK and Robert came up to us on several occassions and discussed all that is K-State sports. We gave him a hot dog each time. He then went back to his car and put it in his glove compartment. His nickname serves him well. Not surprisingly, he turned down my offer of a cold beer.
He said he gets comp. tickets for the MBB team. Lucky guy. Said he hasn't met the new AD yet. His mind is not made up whether it is a good hire. Not surprisingly, he's going to the Big 12 baseball tournament this weekend.
For those of you who have not been lucky enough to talk to him, he has nicknames for every Big 12 team and coach. Tejas are the "Mad Cows", Okie State is "Pistol Pete". OB is "William the Conquerer" . Ted Owens is "Technical Ted". He expressed distaste for Lon Krueger. Thought that was odd.
In short, the man is more EMAW than any of us will ever be.
