Mississippi State Fan Pranks Local News Station with a Incredible Lie about How He Got to Omaha

You can’t stop Terry Powell, his wife and his wife’s boyfriend from attending the College World Series. They’re willing to do just about anything to be together at the event.

“The sacrifices we personally made to get here are incredible,” Terry Powell told KMTV 3 News. “My wife’s boyfriend sold his prosthetic leg on Craigslist to afford me the opportunity to be here. But they get alone time, and I get a chance to be in Omaha.”

So, I know what you’re thinking: This has to be a prank. Well, you’d be right. Apparently, the news station was in on it.

Terry’s wife approved of this message:
