Richard Jackson of Pilot Oak, Ky., at the Bridgestone Arena for the 2017 SEC Men's Basketball Tournament games on Friday, March 10, 2017 in Nashville, Tenn. Jackson — with his royal blue wig, zebra-stripped pants, and "I Bleed UK Blue" sign — has been seen on plenty TV screens over the last few years. Including ESPN. He tends to stand out, even in a sea of blue. But many do not know how this 70-year-old cattle farmer from Pilot Oak, Ky., came to be the crazy-dressed, sign-toting fan that he is.
