Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago.
Ito’s (now) father in law sits in that section. But he’s a great guy and not remotely fat, so it’s probably a different person.
Higgins had a routine where he’d chug two beers after a Rutgers score as people yelled his name. The only thing was after a few TD’s he’d start missing his mouth, and if it was a high scoring game, he’d basically just throw the beers on himself by the end.
So I take my girl to the Papa John’s bowl. Higgins is one or two rows in front of us and ends up pouring beer all over her. Even though he was annihilated, Higgins couldn’t have been more of a gentleman... apologizing nonstop, getting napkins, etc.
My gf is just screaming at the top of her lungs at me. “You drag me to f***ing Birmingham and now this sh*t?!?! Blah, blah, blah.” She wanted me to fight that whole crew, but those guys were awesome. I couldn’t stop laughing, which probably didn’t help the situation.
Higgins randomly set up across me from in the blue lot, maybe 1 or 2 years ago. I mentioned the story and he said “sounds about right.”
