Mississippi State fan is grateful to his wife’s boyfriend for his trip to Omaha

This was waaay too good.

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

This Mississippi State fan stole the show when he was asked by a local news station in Omaha to describe what he did to make it for the College World Series.

“The sacrifices that we personally made to be here are incredible. My wife’s boyfriend sold his prosthetic leg on Craig’s List to afford me the opportunity to be here, but they get alone time AND I get to be in Omaha.”

Terry Powell, the fan who was interviewed, took his shot to goof on an entire news station and he pulled it off flawlessly. To be fair: KMTV were in on the joke, which is a testament to how good Powell was that they decided to air his jokes.

A link to the full video on Omaha Sports Insider shows that Powell rattled off some other gems during a rain delay.

“I didn’t sleep maybe five minutes. It had somewhat to do with the excitement for the game, but also my roommate snores incredibly bad.”

“So the banana is just part of that rally cry we’ve adopted as a fan base. My wife has a banana costume, I have a banana hammock — so I mean it’s all good.

Bravo, Terry.
