A quicker 15 minutes of fame (shorter) than this?
One can easily defend the stance he is the current face of college football.
Especially if you aren't shopping for Just For Men Beard Care.

My bad, just read the thread title more closely, guess the impersonator got me.
Yeah, but 15 minutes of fame means you briefly rise like a meteor then crash back to earth (Vanilla Ice, for example). Cig ain't crashing any time soon.
What happened?
He went from fun story to shameless grifter in no time.
@kelly_32 Started as a fun Halloween idea. Got some traction on BNK, Indy Star, went on Coyle’s radio show as well.
Then he created an X account asked for tips, then deleted the post, then gave poor NFL betting picks.
Now he’s on TikTok asking to do cameo messages and paid appearances at parties etc.
Very disappointed he is trying to make money off it.
@walt542 There was a path to monetization…it takes more than 2 weeks though.
LOL
I thought it was hilarious the first time I saw them show him on tv in the stands. Figured it was a grad student or someone.
But yeah, dont need just one person claiming its their thing. Many people predicted months ago or more that Cig would be a popular halloween costume, so not a novel idea.
Sounds like he's trying to pay his bookie.
Which poster is he on here? @hooky ?@walt542 There was a path to monetization…it takes more than 2 weeks though.
You're thinking I'm the imposter or do you want me to track him down and so we can publicly mock and shame him like our resident researcher?
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

My 2c... it was funny the first time, but I could do without having the weird "super fans" (they just want to be on the video/TV) like the J E T S guy or the ohio state one. The bit gets stale real quick and its odd to see middle aged men seeking social media fame as if they were in middle school.
I'm stoked I have zero clue what any of this means.
