Many years ago during the Sam Wyche era in Cincinnati, some rowdy fans at old Riverfront Stadium decided during a Bengals-Seahawks game to throw beer bottles and other debris on the field in protest of some bad calls.

Once the rowdy behavior got out of hand, Sam Wyche got on the microphone and said his memorable line, "You don't live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!!!!"

On yesterday, while I was headed to class, a girl in the hallway stopped me when she noticed my blue Memphis baseball shirt.

"You're not at the University of Memphis, you're at Crichton College," she said to me.

"Whatever," I said, rolling my eyes.

Two hours later as I left the library for home, I ran into the same girl again and a friend of hers and was reminded to not wear the Memphis baseball shirt again on campus.

"Remember what school you're at," she said to me.

"I know what school I'm at," I said, "but didn't you guys used to be the Cardinals?"

"We're the Comets," she said, "Ditch the shirt."

My response?

"I don't think God cares what school's shirt I wear to school."

But His mother does.
