'That State And Team Disgust Me' - The Viral Mizzou Fan Who Passed On $25k To Kick The Ball At KU's Sideline Told His Story And He's The Perfect College Football Fan

In case you missed it, we had a perfect moment on Saturday during the Border War. Dude had a chance for $25,000 if he could make a 45-yard field goal and opted to send a message. That message was simple: 

[Source] - “I was like, ‘OK, no one’s making that kick ever,’” Arey told The Star. “So when I went back into the bedroom, I just told (wife) Laura, I was like, ‘I’m not kicking it towards the end. I’m gonna kick it directly at the Kansas bench.’ “And I just really wanted to send a message, and the message was: ‘I hate you,’ more or less. And the state and the team disgust me, and a lot of Missouri fans, and that meant more to me than any type of money prize at the end.”

I love everything about that. That's what college sports fans are supposed to do! Even better he hatched the plan the night before and told his wife in bed what he planned to do. That's basically foreplay for a college sports diehard fan. Simple and to the point too. He wanted to send the message that he hated Kansas, point proven. 

Oh and you can't say the man isn't an athlete

Arey was on the 2013 Team USA men’s wheelchair basketball squad that won the Americas Cup qualifier in Bogota, Colombia. After stepping away from that sport, he’s taken up golf, and in June he won the U.S. Adaptive Open qualifier in Rockwall, Texas. He shot a plus-2 73.

I'm not ruling out that he could have made a 45-yard field goal after reading that. He's been successful at every other sport, why not throw in field goal kick for $25k to the list? But he even said, there's something that means more than $25,000 and that is telling your rival you fucking hate them. This is why we need rivalries to always be played. No more of taking years off because conference realignment is the dumbest thing in the world. We need these power conference teams who hate each others guts to be playing every single year so we get moments like this. 

I need to know more about his wife. I need to know the reaction when she heard the plan, probably the most turned on she's ever been if we're being honest. How happy was she when he flashed the fuck KU sign on his chest? Did she help paint it? These are the important journalistic questions we need asked. Either way, this guy rocks and is everything perfect about being a college football fan.
