A highly anticipated date between Darren Skinner and Katie Weiss at CenturyLink Field turned awkward as a drunken fan claiming to be the “13th man” screeched at them for no reason in between plays.
“I’ve really been looking forward to this,” Skinner said as his extended arm landed on the shaved head of the sweaty thirtysomething behind him instead of his date’s tender shoulders.
“I see a lot of 12th men out here,” shouted the man, dressed from head to toe in this season’s latest Seahawk apparel, to no one in particular. “But you know what’s higher than 12?! 13!”
As the couple did their best to settle into the bleachers and nuzzle each other, their nerves were again suddenly jostled by outbursts from the self-proclaimed “loudest fan in the stadium.”
“I’m taking it up to 11! Or 12. No, 13, baby! — the 13th man, me, baby! WOOOO,” bleated the maniacal fan, too drunk on his own cacophony and seven beers to observe much if any of the game on the field.
Undeterred, the couple still managed to end the night with a high score.
