I went to Chicago this week and experienced the following…

“Nice hat” from the pilot

A head nod and fist bump from a guy wearing an Indiana hat.

A football conversation with a Big 10 fan at Pequods pizza.

I’m flying to Raleigh today and the TSA guy said “nice hat”… the Clear guy said, “go cougs.”… two airport staff gave me a fist bump walking down the terminal…

The energy around this team is pretty palpable. Obvious reasons, of course. Just a fun year to be a fan.
