NC State Football: The World's Oldest JerseyChaser

 
We might induct this guy into the yet to be established JerseyChaser Hall of Fame. His name is Dewey Corn (great name), and he is the oldest known living JerseyChaser in the world. At 85 years old, he has been to every NC State Football game, home and away, since 1975. My dude hasn’t missed a nair-nada one. He’s missed his brother's and mother-in-law's funerals and battled thorough pneumonia, all to attend the game and support the Wolfpack. Now that’s dedication. Y'all young kids today don’t know nothing about that. How many football games has he attended in his 33-year streak? Well, to be exact, it is 389, and with the team set to appear in a bowl game, it looks like he will make it to 390 this year! So Dewey Corn, we salute you two times, my dude. But, there are other super old JerseyChaser’s out there and we might try to find some so they can get some shine before they expire. But, for now, just remember Dewey Corn and goooooo WolfPack!
