The Die-Hard that Didn’t Get in

This guy might have great street smarts or does a killer job with his hands, but he was no wiz kid during his time in K-12. His GPA might have been a full quality point below what was required to get into this school, but that doesn’t matter. He loves this football team he’s been cheering for his whole life.

Holding no grudges with his 600 SAT score, The Die-Hard that Didn’t Get in gets more fired up for fall Saturdays than most of the entire freshman class combined. He has at least four tattoos dedicated to his fandom toward this college football team. If you question his fandom, he’ll show his favorite bit of ink and scream at the top of his lungs whatever that football team’s signature catchphrase.

His truck is the color of his favorite team. He might spray paint his dog to look like a tiger if that’s what it takes to let you know this is his favorite football team for life. Die-Hard named this dog after the school’s greatest head coach or Heisman Trophy winning running back from back in the ’70s.

There is no subtlety with this guy, as everything he does is to the extreme. He’s great with the younger fans who want to take a picture with him and his spray painted dog. However, he is absolutely horrible to the other team’s fans. You either ride with this guy or get out of his way. He realizes he is massively entertaining and people always tend to get a kick of out him.
