Super Fans of the Big 12

LARRY:

Larry is the Missouri Tigers' Superfan.  We have a lot of respect for this guy because we all know how low Mizzou's attendance is.  I'm sure Larry is glad to know that he does what every superfan should do - get in the head of the other team.  Kansas' head coach, , once called Larry "that annoying guy."  Way to go Larry, we're behind you as long as it's not a Mizzou/Tech game.  We think Larry's best yell is: "3 balls no strikes, 3 balls no strikes, no strikes no good!"

 

SENATOR:

The Senator is one of the Nebraska superfans.  He always sits behind the Nebraska dugout and yells almost constantly throughout the game.  He looks like he is around 85 with his pure-white hair.  The Senator has yelled things at us such as "jerks over there," and enjoys pointing (in a "first-down" fashion) at the scoreboard when Nebraska is ahead.  We have an unconfirmed report that The Senator was originally a Missouri fan at the tournament.  

 



WEIRD ROBERT:

Weird Robert (as he is always referred to, even by the media) is the Kansas State superfan.  This guy is totally sweet.  He has reportedly attended every K-State football game since the 80s, including a season-opener in Japan.  Some of Weird Robert's popular sayings are: "hit it directly over the press box" and "no mosquitoes, no golf shots."  He also heckled Scooter Jordan calling him Michael Jordan to which Scooter later commented, "I didn't know if that was an insult or a compliment."  Weird Robert likes to walk around holding his radio and letting fans know of the other scores around the Big 12.   K-State story here.

 

 

NEBRASKA DOLL MAN:

We met this fellow at our first Big XII tourney, and have seen him at every one of them since. To be honest, he was really scary to us until we found his website at http://www.kentthecornhusker.com . Turns out he is truly deserving of being dubbed a "super fan." With the real name of Kent Johnson, Doll Man supports everything Husker and deserves solid pub. Although we might not be able to explain all of his traditions or his car full of dolls, we think this dude is 100% legit super fan material. Props to you, Kent. You da man.

WILSON:

Wilson was introduced to the Student Heckler Society at the 2002 Big 12 Tournament.  Though his school of choice (UT ) is disgusting to us, Wilson still grew near and dear to our hearts.  Surely the most inspired Longhorn fan, Wilson's rhythmic clapping is second to none.  Losing big to A&M in the first round, Wilson tried to fire up Augie Garrido's squad by standing up in the middle of the front row, facing the crowd and screaming, "C'mon [dang] it!" and encouraging the fans to clap along.  His performance was so great that even the great Chris Snead was drawn into the action following a rousing "C'mon Snead!"  A re-enactment of Wilson's "motivational speech" has been perfected by the SHS's Michael Peterson, all but the puking on Nebraska fans that took place before our eyes in the midst of a heated "C'mon [dang] it" during the championship game.
