What are the chances that hard hat guy is working this job?
Probably pretty good. Great gig, IMO. "Hey, let me just put down my tools and walk over here and keep wearing my silver hard hat and cheer my brains out for the Cats."

Confession: I don't know what to think about hard hat guy. I mean he is as K-State0 as it gets and is kind of an embarrassment, but in a weird way he's
our embarrassment, you know? And like you said, he cheers his brains out for the wild wild cats, especially hoops...even during the really really awful years.
You know what? Just by typing that out I think I figured out how I feel about him. And how I feel about him is good. He should be on the front of Riley County phone books for years to come.
