Bulldogs Fan's Celebration Lands Him in Hospital

ATHENS, GA — Bulldog Nation gets a little bit excited when the University of Georgia takes the football field.

When their freshman quarterback throws a perfect strike on 4th-and-10 to beat an SEC rival on the road? Well ... sometimes coolers get tossed and windows get broken.

A video of a UGA fan doing just that, and more, on Saturday is getting widespread viewership — even as the actions displayed on it sent its star to the hospital.

Jeff Moore, of Athens, caught his roommate, Michael DiNardo, on video Saturday as Georgia's Jacob Eason hit Isaiah McKenzie for a 20-yard game-winning touchdown.

In a word, DiNardo goes ballistic.

He flings a cooler, sprints to the bedroom for a celebratory bounce off the bed, runs back into the kitchen and, in a moment he'd probably like back, bashes both fists through a door window, shattering it.

"Everyone please look at what I have to deal with on a daily basis," Moore wrote on Twitter. "Go Dawgs?"

By Monday morning, the video had more than 11,000 "likes" and had been retweeted more than 7,000 times.

DiNardo said Monday that he ended up with 12 stitches from the emotional window bashing.

"It was definitely a dumb decision and I don't believe you should be glorified for being a idiot," DiNardo told Patch. "But if someone gets a good laugh out of my stupidity and I can make their Monday a little better, it was well worth it. Go Dawgs!"

Moore says DiNardo has already offered to pay for the broken window. But, just in case their fellow Bulldog fans want to chip in, he's launched a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for the repairs.

"I'm sure you've all seen the video of my roommate smashing through our window after that awesome SEC road win.... ," Moore wrote on the fundraiser's page. "Although he has agreed to pay for it, we'd appreciate all the help we can get."

Launched late Sunday, the drive had only raised $5 of its $500 goal Monday morning.
