FSU football: Fan keeps his word and gets Mike Norvell tattoo
By Kelvin Hunt
FSU football has always had some loyal fans, but one fan may have taken loyalty a step further by getting a Mike Norvell tattoo!
FSU football only has one bright spot so far in the 2020 season. The Noles were upset by Georgia Tech in the season opener and struggled to put FCS Jacksonville State away.
A loss to Notre Dame where the defense looked like Swiss cheese had fans pessimistic going into a game with then No. 5 North Carolina.
FSU football went into the game as +13.5 betting underdogs. It was a home game, and the Nole faithful filled Doak Campbell Stadium with around 19,000 strong to help simulate a full stadium in the COVID-19 era.
One fan came to the stadium with a sign which displayed his love for the Noles. The sign stated he would get a Mike Norvell tattoo if FSU football upset No. 5 North Carolina:
What makes this better is Mike Norvell acknowledged the tattoo the same night the fan tweeted the picture!
As you can see, that fan is a man of his word as he tweeted a picture of the Mike Norvell tattoo Friday night. Most FSU football fans were amazed at the commitment of keeping his word, not to mention it’s not a small tattoo by any means.
It covers a large part of his leg, and it’s a Mike Norvell with cornrows pic! Now that’s commitment! It was Mike Norvell to acknowledge this feat, hopefully he gives him a call, or autographs something on the fan’s behalf as well. I’m not sure I would have followed through on this one! If so, I think it would have been much smaller somewhere I could hide it.
The Noles are on a bye week as they’re preparing to take on Pittsburgh next week. It’s a critical game for the Noles if they want to get momentum back on their side. I have mad respect for this FSU football fan to honor his word.
