Dumb things you never realized for years...

Bum Phillips would typically wear a cowboy hat for road games but never for home games. The reason for this was that Bum felt it rude to wear a hat inside

When did that custom change? When I was was in elementary school (1950s) wearing a hat indoors (for a boy) was
the worst thing you could do. My wife still gets upset if our grandson wears his indoors.

I still remove my hat when I go indoors to my office. I notice the guys who do wear hats almost always keep them on. I have no idea when the custom changed, but it really isn't the "custom" anymore (I'm 62).

I'm 43 and you can wear a hat, so we can probably do some math here and figure it out - and yes, I have been a PFRA member since I was 18 - forbthose who've known me a while. But I still think you can never wear a hat at the dinner table. I seebthatoccationally when out and find it offensive.

You do have the guys who are seemingly always wearing a hat everyplace--because they are or are going bald.

I often wear a hat when I don't like my hair. When I get my hair cut short, the hats are given a rest for a spell.
