The last time Michigan traveled to Penn State for a football game was 2013, just two short years ago, during the "Golden Era" of Brady Hoke. The most notable part of that game was the introduction of the UM Fanbase to America, courtesy of the chUMp you see in the picture below:
SPRAY THE MACE IN THE FACE OF THE MICHIGAN FAN BASE |
This guy represented very well the exact thing that we oppose: chUMps. For the price of a jersey, this guy believed he had the right to invade an opposing team's stadium and act like a complete jerk, an "a-hole", a prick, etc. Make no mistake, it's guys like this one that drew the nickname "scUM" over the years, a derogatory word we are trying to replace with "chUMps".
This guy was maced in the face and thrown out of the stadium before halftime. You can read all about his antics at many sources on the Internet:
- Story from Deadspin
- Story from the Huffington Post
- Story from the New York Daily News
- Story from The Bleacher Report

There was never a follow-up regarding who this guy is, where he's from, how did you get into this kind of mess, etc. But we Spartans know that THIS GUY IS EVERYWHERE. Wherever you find University of Michigan sports teams, this guy is in the mix. We have seen him, we have heard him, we have reviled him.
We even started this web site to fight against him.
I have no doubt that as he was being dragged out of the stadium, he was proudly shouting out whatever he thinks the "All-Time Wins Record" is for UM against PSU, or the overall total that counts rugby scrums from the 1880s. I have personally seen that type of behavior, so I feel certain he was doing that stuff in Happy Valley.
Will he return to the scene of his crime?
Let's look for him in the stands on Saturday.
