Fan rips off TCU sweatshirt to take a selfie with Stanford's Bryce Love at the Alamo Bowl
On Thursday night, Texas Christian University beat Stanford in the Alamo Bowl. And even though it was a great game with a thrilling comeback, one of the best moments happened after the game.
A fan wearing a TCU sweatshirt ran onto the field once the game was over. But he didn’t keep that TCU sweatshirt on for very long.
Was this a switch from his TCU shirt to his Stanford shirt to get the Bryce Love selfie? pic.twitter.com/FZnJ6cQhg2

The guy ran onto the field and ripped off his sweatshirt. No, he wasn’t streaking. Underneath his TCU shirt was a Stanford shirt! And the dude made a beeline for Stanford’s Bryce Love and actually managed to get a selfie with him!
C’mon guys, its THE Bryce Love pic.twitter.com/WZTenSU7Ha

The guy goes by @ColemanLeonard3 on Twitter, and his bio says he’s from Rockwall, Texas. Our friend Coleman looked like he had a lot of fun on the field, but he might have had even more fun talking about his crazy adventure on Twitter. He answered some very pressing questions, like why did he decide to pull that crazy switcheroo?
I’ve got pictures with every TCU player already so I thought might as well take one with the Heisman runner up https://t.co/FfuZiwKnyO

I mean, there are worse reasons to wear the opposing team’s shirt. Love is the Heisman runner-up, after all, and he’d probably be more willing to take a selfie with a random fan who just appeared on the field if that fan was wearing a Stanford shirt. Though it should be said: in the video, Love looked really, really confused when Coleman showed up and started stripping right in front of him. Who wouldn’t be?
lmao that look on love's face pic.twitter.com/nb1bMzGLd7

Here’s the most important question: how did Coleman even manage to get down onto the field to pull of his college shirt strip routine?
Jump down onto the field and run like there’s no tomorrow https://t.co/jxVn63GYwb

No insane acrobatics or CIA subterfuge, he just saw an opening and ran like crazy. Not a bad plan!
Of course, some people took his t-shirt/loyalty change as blasphemy.
The kid who took off his TCU sweatshirt to reveal his Stanford shirt to take a picture with Bryce Love should be banned from all sporting events for the remainder of the 21st century pic.twitter.com/iwXkV8eFKi

But Coleman had a really, really good time with it.
Btw @Stanford I’m applying to your school. Should I include this on my application? https://t.co/ROTrAwy4SG

Stanford, regardless of whether or not applicants can include selfies on their application, this kid just might be worth your time.
