So yesterday I spent about 6 hours tailgating with the now infamous whistle guy. I don't know this guy personally, he was a friend of a friend at the tailgate. What I can tell you is that him, and his buddy instantly seemed like they'd be on the wild side, and at least some good entertainment.

Whistle guy did actually bust out the whistle during the tailgate on several occasions just goofing around. I remember specifically knocking the whistle out of his mouth at one point because it was driving me crazy!

Needless to say, him and his buddies headed to the game and I thought it would be the last I ever saw of him and his whistle. My how I was wrong.

The first time I heard the whistle during the game was about two plays before they actually caught him. Kentucky was on defense and as the whistle sounded, I could see the players actually ease up...this in turned led Louisville to a gain in yardage. Two plays later he blew the whistle again, this time the officials stopped play and we all saw the picture above, whistle guy getting led out of the game.

Apparently, via whistle guy's facebook page, him and his buddy actually went to jail for this action. When I saw im being led out several sections away from me, I couldn't help but laugh. I could see the big antlers on his shirt as he was lead out and I knew it was him. (he was very proud of his shirt, talked about it a lot during the tailgate).

This is all useless info, but thought I would share my story. I was not a fan of whistle guy, I think it is very dangerous for the players to hear a fake whistle, and it obviously was not giving Kentucky an advantage.
