Crying Colorado Fan Became Instant Meme After Buffaloes’ Collapse vs. Stanford
On Friday night, Colorado fans thought they were in for an easy victory while hosting a Stanford team on a four-game losing streak. Instead, the Buffaloes blew a 29–0 halftime lead in historic fashion, taking the home crowd out of the game completely.
Stanford outscored Colorado 46–14 in the second half and overtime, completing the largest second-half comeback in Pac-12 history and delivering the Buffaloes their third loss.
In the end, Colorado fans left the stadium in disbelief instead of in euphoria. After Stanford hit the game-winning field goal, one Colorado fan in particular was caught on camera crying, with another fan consoling him.
Unfortunately for that fan, his misery became a new meme on social media, as many people had jokes at his expense.
College football fans turning into memes has become an annual tradition on social media, as some poor fans go viral every year. This year, one Colorado fan unknowingly saw his sorrows publicized to all of America.
