Weeping Villanova fan ignites flute vs. piccolo fight on Twitter
The first No. 1 seed lost in the NCAA Tournament on Saturday as North Carolina State beat Villanova 71-68.
A camera caught a Villanova band member crying and that Vine took off on Twitter.
Here is baseball expert Jeff Passan’s Vine:
Naturally, a funny version popped up:

That poor Villanova band girl crying is going to be all over the internet.

That piccolo player just needs some Whataburger to cheer her up #MarchMadness

— Sarah Thornton (@SockSandalSarah) March 22, 2015I feel bad for that band girl crying during the Villanova game. Most people in the band don't care about the game, I appreciate her caring.
