Jerb in Chicago Tribune

by Mike Rutherford on Mar 12, 2008 2:29 PM EDT

Just another one of the many, many Hollywood careers I have helped launch.

At Louisville's Freedom Hall in late February, a fan positioned himself behind the basket at which Notre Dame conducted warm-ups. In as direct an eye line as possible, he held up a sign on red poster board that tweaked Luke Harangody, the Irish superstar with a SuperCut.

The sign read: "Bad Hair-On-'Gody."

Harangody, Notre Dame's thoroughly unassuming anchor, took notice. He left the warm-up lines. He grabbed a pen and, stunning the heckler speechless, Harangody autographed the sign. Then, blithely as he left, he returned to the court.

Awesome stuff.

Just think

Of ALL the signs that people make out there (for College Gameday, WWE events, random games, etc.), there are very, very few that make it to being an opening paragraph comment in a Chicago Tribune article.

Nicely, nicely played.
