Jacen Lankow entered the stadium with a fake access pass wearing a trainers outfit. He entered the field blowing a whistle and trying to steal the game ball, before the referees realized he was not part of their team.
With all the attention on the streaker, pushing and shoving erupted among the players, causing a bench clearing brawl that has rendered 10 players suspended....bet they love Mr. Lankow.
Lankow was arrested and charged with criminal impersonation, a felony charge, and faces up to 18 months in jail - a little harsh for running around a football field in your underwear, don't you think? Lankow, who is scheduled to graduate in December, is also facing disciplinary action from the University of Arizona, and could be expelled for the episode.
He reportedly did this to boost his chances for getting on the reality show "Wipe Out", but stated in an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live that he was not schedules for appearance on the reality show, and has not even applied. He just wanted a "last hurray" for his senior year and do something that had not been done before.
I guess he accomplished his goal then, and will have a great story to tell for years. For his parents' sake, I hope the charges will be dropped or at least reduced, and that he will still graduate on schedule.
