North Florida goes on run after band man dances (Video)

North Florida is on a huge run after their famous band player Stephen Putnam fired them up with his dancing.

North Florida looked like they were about to have an extremely rough game when they recorded their 10th turnover of the game and were down seven to Robert Morris 12 minutes into the game, but after a timeout, North Florida hopped on a big 21-6 run thanks to this guy:

After now-famous North Florida band player Stephen Putnam erupted into his ritual dance that fires up the crowd and the players in the first half, rather than his usual time in the second half, it sparked a run in North Florida as they were able to regain the lead and didn’t have another turnover for the rest of their half, and forced four more from Robert Morris after they had just one 12 minutes into the game.

In case you forget, here’s the video of Putnam “dancing” in an absolute insane way that for some reason fires up the crowd and the team and in turn, made him famous. In the Atlantic Sun Tournament championship game, USC Upstate took an 11-0 lead coming out of the half, but after Putnam’s dancing, North Florida was able to come back and win 63-57.

It can’t hurt that this is North Florida’s mascot either….
