Shit, forgot about that dude.  Could definitely be him.  

I don't know who that is, but unless he was 10 in that photo, I doubt it. The other kid is my daughter (the picture blows). They were on the sidelines for Little Giants game (kickoff kids).

Bongajon was famous (notorious) for getting his mug on tv whenever the camera showed the Izzone or had it in the background during timeouts. And since this was the late 90s/early 00s, those teams were on national tv a lot, and so was his face and lime green wig. It wasn’t that they focused on him—he just always found the best angle for the lens, even if the focus was on the announcers—he’d be in the background.

If you Google "bongajon MSU" you won't find any game shots, but you'll find him

Reminded me of Eric Allan, oh and some guy named Griffin who played for the bad guys ...

Saw both of them play in Spartan Stadium.

I saw a real slasher go crazy there, OJ Simpson.

I don't recall the entire story, but it seems like he would always try to get the attention of Erin Andrews and, at times, he did.

More like late 00s/early 10s. I met him at the RCMB bowl tailgate for one of the Cap One bowls, green wig and all.
