You just had to be there. West side, row 55 looking down at the North goal line. Sitting next to me was about a 13 year old kid that was into the spring game like it was a title game.
He hooted and hollered at dropped passes, spontaneously lept from his seat, offered advice to the QBs, made drumming noises with his mouth to go along with the band...and generally had everybody within three rows of him staring.
Sure I admired his enthusiasm, but when I looked into his eyes...I saw the offspring of Haystack Calhoun. He had that not all there crazy look.
He worked himself into a frenzy during the first half

Then slowly petered out with frustration after each incompletion and interception.

Eventually settling down to stare at the bare lower back of the lady in front him.

Eventually the boy came over to tell Norm that he and Spring Game Fan had the same shirt on.

Cute kid.
Spring Game Fan made the game much more enjoyable.
The end.
