A lot of passengers prefer silence when they're being carted around in an Uber. Years of traveling the world alone have given me great empathy for how isolated life can get when all you have is the road and a radio to keep you company. So I'm happy to return serve with chatty chauffeurs. Loneliness never runs short on inventory.
I was picked up from CMH on Ohio State Homecoming Friday earlier this month by a driver who - after we briefly discussed why I was in town - revealed that he:
- had driven Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit around Columbus when they were in town for due diligence prior to their OSU-TCU broadcast
- had actually played college football himself!
