"Friday" OT (a day early) - CFers in the Wild

[RING4CY]

If you mean screen name, he tries not to know. Especially if you end up as a student.

It's all good, I'm gadiated from college now. I never, nor will I ever have him as an instructor. He can admit he knew it was me.

 

[Jordanj6502]

The pickup basketball guys. And CycloneErik and cyrevkah but I knew them before CF.

Husband nearly bumped into 2015 on the field after OSU. He's glad he didn't, since he didn't want to get yellow paint on himself.

Nah it didn't rub off on anyone. It is Stage Paint. The same used by Blue Man Group. Took a few showers to get off since I didn't buy the special bodywash

Have you ever run into any other Cyclone Fanatics "in the wild," either on accident or on purpose? Who are they?

I've had a couple in just the last week or two. I ran into our very own Clones85 yesterday. I also saw someone with the license plate "Cy Hard" helping a nice lady by giving her a ride at a gas station here in Ames last week or so, I'm assuming it's CyHard from here (but it might not be).

I've run into many others over the years, probably too numerous to count. Who are yours?

OK. A few weeks ago, the wife and I are passing through the Newark Intl airport on our way to Ireland. We have just stopped at the cashier station to change some $'s to Euro's. An older fellow comes up to me while I still have this wad of cash in my hands, tells me he sees my ISU cap. I am a bit suspicious. Turns out this guy graduated in 1950 in engineering from ISU. 1950! He proceeds to tell me he now lives in Cincinnatti. He is a newly wed and he and his wife are on also on their way to Ireland. We talked for an hour about their travels--all since he had been married, a couple of years ago.

That is really, really cool! I can imagine what a thrill it was for him to see you, too!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Except for my aforementioned brushes with greatness.....I haven't met anyone, even though I wear my CF gear everywhere.

When hubby & I got on the plane heading for San Antonio the day after the 2011 OSU FB game, we were decked out in our Cyclone gear. Nearly everyone on the plane said something as we walked by (and there was a lot of C&G on the plane).

Used to be when we flew out of Des Moines for every C&G you saw in the airport, there were 20-25 B&G. Now it's pretty near evenly split for those who wear school colors, with an occasional panther or husker in the mix. I call that a good thing!

 

[Dino]

I met Cubs once. He broke my finger.

Did he sit down too quickly or something?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I transferred tickets to a CF'r this past year, but I'm embarrassed to admit I don't remember who it was. Rulzzz & I have identified each other because he sits a few rows in front of us at MBB games. He's kinda hard to miss. And he can probably attest to the fact that I am pretty much how I represent myself in here...old, short, round, and a very noisy fan.

One CF'r figured out who I was via my description of my hubby (they work at the same place), one cf'r worked for me as an undergrad, and I knew Bugs when she was an undergrad.

There are probably more...but I'm old & forgetful!

Side note: I freaking love that show.

I'd just put any of the few ladies on CF on that list over the guys. Sorry guys. But it is what it is.

 

[MeanDean]

So maybe I'm just not very observant. Where do people obtain this CF gear of which you all speak?

 

[Cyclonic1]

I met WalkingCy tailgating once. Biggest ***** I have ever met.

(kidding!)

So, he had his pants down?

Me too...I was bopping around the site to see if I could spot a store.
