The original item is signed "Bonagura". Here he be. Maybe should invite him out here to have a chalk talk with Campbell.

Just another Californian who cannot name the next state east of Nevada.

To be fair, whilst tooling around north of San Diego not long ago, had a hard time equating "La Jolla" with "La Hoya". 'Sup with the shpelling out there, I ask you?

My wife, who grew up in California and Utah, cannot for the life of her keep Iowa and Iowa State straight. No matter how many gentle corrections I give her (maybe I need to be more forceful, but is it worth the marital disharmony?).

Anyway, one day we went into a fast food place on the morning of the Cy-Hawk game here in Utah and two ladies were wearing Hawkeye shirts. I told them they were wearing the wrong colors and my wife backed me up and said “He’s an Iowa fan so that’s why he’s giving you a hard time.” It was the source of much confusion for them until I corrected her and said “Iowa State”

Sadly even after that she still can’t keep it straight.
Same here. Must have something to do with them being the center of the world in California. But, enough eye-rolls, cold stares, back turning and she came around. So, there's still hope. Hang in there.
