In the world of college basketball, fans have spent years trying to come up with the perfect distraction – the most effective way to throw a shooter from the opposing team off just a little bit. Maybe he’ll miss that crucial free throw, or make a split-second poor decision and turn it over. Fans tried noise, waving their arms wildly, posters, and swinging any number of objects to and fro.

In the past couple of years, fans started blowing up the faces of famous people, putting them on a big sign, and holding them up in the crowd. Some fans used faces of the players or maybe the coaches. You could see a random Dick Vitale face or random celebrity sprinkled in here and there.

Jack Blankenship took it to the next level and blew up an image of his own face. After he was spotted at a few Alabama Crimson Tide basketball games, the kid went viral.
