NCAA champions

About three minutes before the game, two guys passed by us to get to their seats. Space is at a premium, so we were literally nose to nose; or in Josh's case, nose to chest.

Both were wearing Fargo hats, with the ear flaps lifted, and long black trench coats.

As they passed, they looked up at Josh and said "your going down, loser!"

I was surprised; Josh's sheer size will deter most. Perhaps a comment from afar, but rarely so close (and when looking straight up).

Fast forward five minutes.

Blue Fargo hat guy all the sudden starts yelling at the fan behind him.

Loudly.

Profusely.

After about a minute of screaming profanities, all the fans surrounding started yelling at him to be quiet.

The alcohol won, though, and he kept spouting off. Just when I thought he was finished, he would start up again.

I look up and all the sudden Blue Fargo hats friend, Tan Fargo hat, is hitting the guy next to him. Elbows flying, arms flailing.

In an almost collective whistle, the entire section was yelling for the security guard and pointing at Blue Fargo Hat.

Swarms of security started entering our row to secure the exit of Blue Fargo hat. Tan Fargo hat also was booted, with four minutes off the clock.

As they left, I thought- they traveled all that way, spent so much money on tickets because they love the team, and they saw four minutes of the game.

It was kind of fun to watch, though! LOL


I really needed to bring my good camera for these close ups, but you get the idea....


Speaking of Dick Vitale...they were right below the steps we used to get to our section.

See the red coat? That was the security guard we all whistled to :-)




Michal Jordan. This was awesome. Josh has been a fan forever, so to have them honoring his career at this game was incredible.
