quote:what the heck? Like, I get not recognizing AU stuff, but Utah doesn't seem like it'd be any better?
Germans and Italians would regail my Utah stuff but never recognized AU stuff.
From a year in Munich:
- first day there, a dude from Ft Benning saw my backpack and said something
- one dorm mate recognized the AU stuff bc he spent a year abroad at Clemson
- another recognized it bc she watches cfb, which blew my mind
- I got a War Eagle from a dude during Oktoberfest
Been in Heidelberg for three months and nothing so far

Thank you for validating my lost time in thought. Haha.
- I"ve thought about most of these at one point or another.
I'm not a war buff but Frankfurt had one big battle, and the Main was an artery. There was a US base there (Atterberry Kasern) but I never saw much of any military presence. It closed in '03 I think, and I was there a decade after. Its a banking city, so I met alot of Swedes/Swiss and many Italians which I can't figure out. Italians are cash and carry
- Second point I was in a higher income area (I lived there in my late 30's and early 40's).
- I convinced a few friends to watch amature CFB with me but they just didn't get it. "Why are we watching these amatures?" would be a repeated response. Obviously because you know how college football works and its not a concept that many Euros get with a school affiliation.
- Oktoberfest salutations for any well-known school is not suprising to me.
