I doubt it was shown on TV, but I haven't seen mention of it here. Late in the game, with KSU driving towards the south end zone (I think it was the blocked FG drive), a full-screen pic of a kitten laying on a purple scarf was displayed on the video board. I wonder how many people in the stands grasped its significance?

They've started to put static "intimidating" pics on the video board when the other team is trying for a FG. During Cincy, they had a super close-up of Cy.

The kitten on the purple blanket did show up during the blocked FG.

Yes! And the kicker had to stare straight at it. Masterful!!!!!

It was incredible. I don't remember us ever using the video board in that manner. Very effective!

Can you explain it to me?
It was a kitten laying down on its back in a purple blanket. The entire size of the scoreboard. Looking directly at the kicker as we were blocking the field goal.

I was at the game and I saw it, but I guess I just didn't get it. I'm a little slow.

@jcordova8 Any chance you got a photo of this.

It happened with 8:10 left in the 3rd Q.

Just watched the Fox replay and they didn't show it.

Close, but I thought the kitten was sitting up more, and the blanket wasn't quite that purple.
