And finally… name of the game
Reading time: 2 minutes
In a prank akin to the long-running joke in The Simpsons, a couple of American football fans thought they could dress up as construction workers and use fake names to get into a big college game.
Texas A&M University were taking on the Texas Longhorns in College Station, with both teams playing for a spot in the SEC Championship Game next weekend.
Tickets to the game were hard to come by, even with Kyle Field being one of the biggest stadiums in the country at over 102,000. The average ticket price to the game was $1,100 on StubHub the week before the game, nearly triple the price of a normal Texas A&M game.
During the game, the Texas A&M Police Department tweeted that they had arrested two men wearing reflective vests and hard hats who had entered the stadium using fake credentials.
And just like Bart Simpson calling Moe’s Tavern and asking to speak to somebody called “Seymour Butz” or “Mike Rotch”, it turns out the pair had some interesting names on their credentials that should have given up their scheme immediately: Harry Azcrac and Duncan McCockiner.
It is unclear what charges the young pranksters are facing.
