I'm sure you have heard of this, but if not, you need to know all about it. It is almost believable that this kid made up this little fib at first, but why is parents and coaches believed him is a completely different story. Plus, how did he think it was going to turn out? Him committing to Cal meaning he would get a scholarship, even if he was never contacted. Even once. Weird stuff...

First, this kid had the entire school assemble, along with some TV cameras and the local media, to announce that, after weeks of deliberation, he chose Cal over Oregon. Yay for him! Pretty standard stuff, a small-town kid like that would draw everyone's interest, if only Cal really wanted him.

Next up, on Sunday, the California Bears football offices heard about the "commitment". They, of course, had never contacted the 6'4" 305 pound OT Kevin Hart, and let it be known. The site BearTerritory.com was all over it recapping the situation and providing information that Hart, in fact, had not been offered by the University of Cal.

But it gets even better. On Monday, everyone figured out that he, in fact, had not been offered by either Cal or Oregon. So, panicking, the kid said a hoax had been played on him, by a man named Kevin Riley from Las Vegas. Wow. And the whole country felt sorry for the kid for a day, or maybe even two, the victim of a horrible practical joke. The police even began to investigate.

But there was one more turn in store, a turn that revealed that the entire time, the kid made the entire enchilada up. 100%. From start to finish, it was all a part of this kid's imagination and dream to be a Division 1-A college football player.

Just, wow.

I still can't believe this, like at all.

Wow.

ROCK CHALK!
