    I will wear them if I know I won't be going anywhere that would cause a problem. For example, say I get a t-shirt from Class 5A Bumblefuck High.
    I will wear that shirt golfing in Class 1A Hayseed High's town.
    If I worked out, I'd probably wear them while I did that. But I don't.

    A photographer asked me the other night, "So who ended up winning?" When I told him, he said, "Oh, that's great." Then I whipped out the Seinfeld line: "Well, it's good for them. But, frankly, it doesn't do anything for me."

    I walked away, and he seemed less than pleased. But I'm used to that.

    When -- or if -- I drop a bunch of pounds, I'll wear the one, a girls' soccer shirt. It's kind of cool. But I wouldn't wipe my ass with the college football coaches shirt. I'd be afraid of my ass taking a turn for the worse and failing off my body.

    When I used to do high school football, I was pretty conscientious about the favoritism.

    I used to walk the sideline of one team in the first half and switch over to the other sideline in the second half just to be fair. I loved walking those Western Pennsylvania the sidelines.

    Once, I was wearing an ASU baseball cap at a high school football game and one coach was giving me the evil eye. I had no idea what I did, and after the game he got a closer look at the logo and apologized. He thought I was wearing the hat of the team. I was wearing the colors, though. Oops.

    From then on I went with brown shoe logo hats.

    As far as the "good luck" is concerned, I always said it. In fact every coach I ever spoke with in person got a hand shake and a "good luck the rest of the way" from me when we had finished talking. It never changed unless their season had just ended then it was a hand shake then a thank you.

    The only time i've gotten a school's T-Shirt was from one place this fall and for a couple of weeks I had it hung up in our office because i wanted to get shirts from all the school's we cover and put them up, kind of like a design thing. As it turned out we couldn't get the rest, I kind of just gave up and eventually took it down and gave it to the receptionist in our office because I wasn't going to wear it. lol.

    Sorry, I guess lol isn't acceptable terminology here. (j/k or, as may be better for this board- just kidding). I shall henceforth make it known when i laugh out loud.

    For example......

    Wow, Bill Belicheck looks like he wants to stab someone in the face. lol I just laughed out loud in the room I am presently occupying.
