Meet Monty Putnam, South Carolina Superfan Who Became a K-State Superfan

Meet Monty Putnam, South Carolina Superfan Who Became a K-State Superfan

Twitter can be a mean, nasty and disgusting place that quite often reflects the worst of humanity. On rare occasions it can also represent the best of humanity, as life-long University of South Carolina fan Monty Putnam recently found out.

Enjoy…. “Very loud, to say the least, here in Kansas.”…Aaron Goldsmith, FoxSports JM: The stadium was pretty loud throughout the game. It was nice to hear the television announcers mention this to open the broadcast. “Skylar Thompson will start and he has single-handedly torched this Sooner defense the last…
