So I'm in a bar on Division St in Chicago Friday

Awesome! I bet you stuck around a bit longer and talked wrestling. Is he going to spend a bit more time with HWC or retire and join the rat race?.:)

I would have loved to hung around to chat but Mrs. Wino was not feeling well in the alley next to the bar. 🤮
I was being summoned and the fanboy stuff wasn't working for me!

You could have offered to get him Max Dean's autograph. He probably would have said that he got it last year when his toe touched his head. Cool story and picture though!

Not that I go around thinking about Ryan Morningstar but I think that's him in the middle, no? It is easier to spot these guys in singlets and sideline gear.

Division Street? Oh my.
Curious about this ... I'll likely be in Chicago in 2 months, and I have no idea how to interpret this comment. (I've been to Chicago a couple times, but not in 5 years or so.)

Area classically known as the Viagra Triangle. A little too “hey baby” for me, but if you like expensive cars and mutilated female bodies and faces it’s must-see Chicago.
 
My daughter was meeting some friends at The Lodge. And we were staying around the corner at The Viceroy
Having had the pleasure of your company — even if for only a short time — I have no doubt that you and yours are a notch above the typical folk that I associate with the area. TBH, I used to get thru there a few times a year with old my boss/chairman who is responsible for me landing in Chicago in the first place. He lived 1/2 blocks east of Gibson’s on Bellevue Place. In fact he was an original investor in the place (which meant 1/2 price food and drinks!) Caymus at $49.50 a bottle is tough to beat when you’re out.
 
And as I'm leaving I hear someone walking by say "Nittany Lions Suck".
I turn around and who could it be???
I think the story’s cool and I admire Warner for initiating the encounter with his “Nittany Lions Suck”. I give him the benefit of the doubt and think he was just trying to initiate a conversation, as opposed to trying to start a bar fight. The fact that an apparently sane conversation was had and selfies were taken, suggests to me that he was fishing for a conversation not a fight. It’s not always the athletes that carry the hard feelings, sometimes it’s us adults. I applaud Warner for his actions. He could have said nothing and gone back to his bar stool and festered. He didn’t.

PS. 82bordeaux, how good does your fraternity brother feel about being mistaken for Morningstar? How many of us could have been mistaken for a current D1 athlete? I guarantee that nobody says that about me in my current condition.

He definitely was just trying to be funny with the "Nittany Lions Suck" comment. Nothing identified me as a wrestling fan, just the PSU logo. He wasn't being a dick.
However, he was a little surprised when I barked out "Jacob Warner!". He had no idea that I would know who he is, or where he went to school.
We had a good chuckle and took a selfie. I did remind him that although the Nits may suck, we still own them.
