Dear Punk Guy,

Mitch King is not your buddy. No matter how many times you yelled, “Yo Mitch” or “Nice play, Mitch” or just leaned way forward screaming “Mitch” he did not make eye contact or even give a quick head nod one single time.

When a lady asks Herky for a picture, don’t take that as an opportunity to throw your arm around Herky and grin that goofy grin while the lady says “Why am I taking a picture of this guy with Herky?” Just let get out of the way and let her photograph the bird. I know you think that any friend of Mitch King’s deserves to be in the picture, but see the first point. You are not his friend.

You might have had a couple beers with Andy Fenstermaker before the game but I bet he was secretly wishing you would go into the stadium early to watch the band and stop talking about Mitch King.

Finally, no matter how many times you tell me that one of your buddies on the team hooked you up with that sweet first row tick on the 35-yard line, I am not going to believe it. You see, that was my sister’s ticket. She was sick over the weekend and had to stay home. So we sold her ticket to a scalper.

However, kudos on the frequent high fives, general positive enthusiasm and giving us somebody to make fun of on the drive home.

      Well, you’ve got no one but YOURSELF to blame.

      Next time, don’t sell your tickets to scalpers, and you won’t have to deal with the kind of assholes who buy from scalpers.

      [...] the Syracuse game last weekend, there was a guy, not this guy, who was constantly yelling at the Iowa coaching staff to “Just run the ball down there [...]

      Mike, I enjoyed the guy most of the time. He was just kind of dorky with the stuff he tried to get us to believe. I also don’t have any problem with scalpers and, in fact, I have been one of those assholes who buy from scalpers from time to time.
