I resemble that remark. My son is a freshman at a community college so I guess his experience is different from those at a traditional college, but virtually all of his social contacts at school are baseball players, and curiously, he's tight with more of the sophomores than the freshmen. When home he spends a lot of time at CU because girlfriend goes there, a good friend from high school plays football there, and a friend he played summer ball with is a freshman on the baseball team. Having played football in college in the leather helmet era, I think athletes tend to hang with other athletes because there schedules are similar, and their problems, concerns, etc. are common to each other.
TPM... "the middle of nowhere"? I only live 30 miles from CU. You saying I'm a hick? I resemble that remark.
