He's a Buckeye and member of OSU Alumni Assoc. 
He might have been driving an old Audi Quattro, 
not exactly one of the big three. 
If he was wearing any sport stuff, it would have 
been about OSU, or more likely, about cars.

It wouldn't have made any difference. 
As soon as he opened his mouth, they would have known anyway.

He was way back in the hills, far from the cities. 
There was one particular place he walked into that 
had a strong "Deliverance" feel. He had gone into 
a different world. 

Perhaps even folks from the next county or 
Chattanooga would have been outsiders also.
