This might be my most favorite press conference of the 2019 college football season thus far. Check that; this is my most favorite press conference of the 2019 college football season thus far.
In North Texas’ 52-26 romp over UTEP, quarterback Mason Fine threw for 332 yards and seven touchdowns in pushing the Mean Green to 4-5 and within further earshot of bowl eligibility. The touchdowns passes were easily a career-high for the senior, surpassing the four he had put up four times previously.
Where Fine really set himself apart, though, was in the postgame press conference where, in homage to Halloween, the quarterback showed up in an inflatable T-Rex costume.
Granted, I’m easily amused. But that made me laugh. A lot. Probably a lot more than someone my age should.
That said, what’s better: Fine in the costume or Fine’s teammates acting like this is standard operating procedure for their quarterback?
Regardless of the actual answer, everybody wins.
