Fan discovers way to proclaim allegiance and deflect alien messages simultaneously.

The habits of foreign sports fans can be a little baffling at times, especially those in America. Perhaps to overcompensate for his compatriots’ unfathomable habit of wearing the shirts and caps of teams they don’t support, this gentleman has invested quite a lot of time and energy in confirming his enthusiasm for one particular team above all others: Boston College.

Besides proving his love with a home-made memorabilia pagoda, this chap is also the father of one the players (whom we can fairly safely assume to be number 78, Hall). Whether that love is expressed off the field through the medium of head-mounted plastic sculpture must remain for the time being, a mystery. It would not be a surprise, however, to discover that Hall jnr receives a number of calls each day from an unstable-sounding, crochety old man, shouting about exactly where he went wrong during the game, before reminding him to tin foil his windows.
