Fan makes a killing with ‘GameDay’ sign asking for beer money
Well, this is brilliant.
ESPN’s “GameDay” brings out the best and worst in fan creativity whenever the ESPN show is broadcast on a college campus.
On Saturday we saw one of the greatest signs ever.

That’s right, the guy included his Venmo number, which allowed mom — and anyone else who happened to be watching — to send him cash.
It’s worked as there are reports that hundreds of people have fulfilled his request.
The "Mom send beer money" sign with his Venmo account at GameDay was genius! Well played Sam Crowder!!! pic.twitter.com/lXpB2iOh5G

Don’t you wish you’d thought of that? Darren Rovell of ESPN reported that others have tried to jump on this guy’s bandwagon:
13 new accounts have been created on Venmo with the goal of hoping to confuse people who want to pay this guy pic.twitter.com/fFJE2lAt2J
