Was I the only one who thought Fan #2 clearly won the Fan of the Game contest at the ND game? I was shocked to see Fan #1 get the prize. I hate to see such a wonderful, honorable competition tainted by poor judging and a political aganda.

And #1 didnt even get as many cheers as #3. Absolute crime. For someone who watched the game on tv, did the esherick/espn sign get on tv?

Yea, fan number two obviously won. I imagine somebody ran over and said not to give it to the guy with the anti-Esh sign.

Yeah, they purposely cropped the sign out of the picture the second time they showed fan #2. Clearly, he was disqualified, and the cameraman probably got reprimanded for not reading the guy's sign before putting him on the screen.

It's on TV in the background very early in the game.
Since I wear a blue and gray (sort of) tie to games now, I was twice mistaken in Fuddruckers after the game for one of the guys with that sign.

Was sitting next to Fan #2. He clearly got robbed ... left fan number one on the big screen too long even after asking the fans to cheer for Fan #2.... have to agree that the cameraman was told to pull it. But why? -- It's not offensive.

It was just mean spirited and uncalled for. No reason to trash our past coach in an effort to heckle the other team.

Sign read:
Even eSherick Put on a Necktie
Fan #2 was originally the one holding up the sign. When the camera returned to "fan #2" for voting, the guy holding the sign was no longer fan #2. Instead a rogue fan #2 wearing a necktie was the new "#2." A simply stunning turn of events that casts a shadow of doubt over the integrity of the voting process and the contest as a whole.

It is possible that the reason Fan #2 was censored and robbed (and he clearly was) had more to do with not giving free advertising to ESPN, than the sign being anti-Esh (it really wasn't that bad).
