Fandom is a funny thing. For me, it comes and it goes, almost like the seasons — I get really into baseball in the spring and summer and leave it almost entirely during the winter; football used to be my favorite, and now is my least; and so on — no one’s fandom is exactly the same. You may be insane for the Bulls one day, and suddenly, decisively, wake up the next day with no love in your heart. Hey, it’s your life. I don’t judge.

Dewey Corn is of a different breed. His fandom of North Carolina State’s football team has never waned, not for 389 games … not even when his family members perished beside the might of his dedication:

“It just worked out that I was able to attend the games,” Corn said.

Even family tragedies have conspired to allow Corn to prolong his streak. Corn’s brother died one year in October, but it just so happened that the funeral fell on an open date.

Coincidentally, the same thing happened when his mother-in-law passed away during another season.

Oh, sure, you bleating sheep out there in the memeosphere might chalk that up as a coincidence, but I won’t. Dewey Corn — if that is his real name — is quite clearly a madman who will stop at nothing to watch football, even if means the lives of his loved ones. He must be brought to justice.

JUST KIDDING. Dewey seems like a really cool dude. That is sort of a freaky coincidence, though.
