While in Baltimore over the weekend in town for my first Preakness Stakes, I killed some time and strolled around the Inner Harbor (wearing a Purdue t-shirt). Three separate people stopped me to say "Boiler Up". It even happened a while back while I was laid over in Phoenix or Denver. A guy cleaning the bathroom recognized the motion P and asked if I went to Purdue - insert IU joke.
Maybe this kind of thing happens with every college but it surprised me that so many people around the country seem to have a connection or at least recognize the Purdue brand. Next time you travel, throw on a Purdue shirt and see if you get similar reactions.
