My question is do the athletes just walk around like its no one's business?? Is it ok to talk to them? I am sure a kick ass this week is good but can you ask for autographs?? THat is wierd. I don't want to ask for an autograph but he was right there. I didn't but i assumed I would see him all the time. do people see them all the time?

Yeah - they are pretty much all over the place if you go to a moderate size school with quality programs. I went to BC, and I had football and hockey players on my floor. My sophomore year I stumbled into Mike Mamula's on-campus townhouse drunk at 2am. He was just hanging out playing video games. He was cool - he just asked for a slice of my pizza (for some reason I was carrying a full pizza with me).
