Jimmer-Mania

Who is this guy?

He looks pretty much like your average Joe. Kinda on the goofy-looking side. He could be a plumber, or a mechanic.

But he isn't.

Every individual on BYU campus wants to marry this man.

His name is whispered throughout Utah, yelled across campus, and screamed on the basketball court.

Jimmer Fredette.

Over the course of the past couple weeks, every man, woman, and child have been swept up in the "Jimmer Fever". He's been talked about in countless facebook statuses, mentioned on the news dozens of times, and is BYU's new hero.

Why? I'll tell you why.

Because he's awesome.

Jimmer is is the reason BYU has become a Final Four caliber team. Sure, he can be a bit of a ball-hog, but it's because he's the best out there, and we all know it. Besides, fans love the Jimmer Show.

Jimmer seems to be unstoppable. He the nation's leading scorer, and has had several games where he scores over 40 points. Not only does he rack up the points, but he does it with flair. He shoots three-pointers like he's shooting into a hula hoop, and does it with all with a straight face that would intimidate a grizzly bear and send it running back to it's grizzly mama. All the opposing teams know he's a force to be reckoned with, and often send two guys to guard him, but to no avail. He barges right through hordes of defenders like they're two-year-olds, sinks the ball into the net, and the crowd eats it up. The best part? He makes it all look easier than eating cake.

All thoughts of homework and normalcy are forgotten, as students instead turn their efforts into making shirts and posters that express their admiration such as, "It's Peanut Butter Jimmer Time!" and "Take Me To The Temple, Jimmer!!" We wonder how we lived life before watching BYU basketball. Our faces are stained blue from paint. We use his name as a verb. (i.e. "You just got Jimmered!") We plot to kill off his head cheerleader girlfriend.

We love you, number 32. Teach us how to Jimmer.
