Thank Goodness Alabama Beat Grand Canyon. Now We Don't Have To Hear That Screeching Fan Anymore

The 12-seed Grand Canyon Antelopes lost to the 4-seed Alabama Crimson Tide in the Round of 32 of March Madness, and thank goodness they did. 

Now, don’t get the wrong impression. I’m not saying that I’m against lower seeds winning games against higher ones. I love upsets in March Madness, provided that they don’t bust my bracket (I’m talking about you, Oakland). As such, I would have loved to see Grand Canyon get to the Sweet 16, especially at Alabama’s expense.

But the reason I’m glad that the Tide sent the Antelopes packing is because we finally won’t have to listen to that screaming fan anymore.

If you watched this game, you’ll know exactly who I’m talking about. The one that screamed - scratch that, shrieked - whenever Grand Canyon made a good play or Alabama made a bad one. This girl (I assume it was a girl, no man should be able to yell at that high of a pitch) made watching a thoroughly sloppy basketball game even more chaotic.

Here’s just one example of this fan’s eardrum-bursting screeches that reverberated through our TV speakers and living rooms for most of the game.

Tons Of Fans Also Found These Screams Extremely Annoying

In any other context, you’d think that girl was experiencing something absolutely horrific. Instead, the rest of us did, for roughly 40 minutes of basketball.

I get it, there's not much you can do. Cutting the audio from that vantage point would eliminate the crowd noise.  You’re not just going to go up to the girl and tell her to stop getting excited. The only thing to be done? Eliminate the team she roots for, which Alabama did. I know that’s cold, but for the greater good, sacrifices must be made.

Evidently, I’m not the only one who thought her screeches were a form of torture. Fans far and wide also had enough of hearing these nightmarish screams.

The biggest winners of last night’s game were not the Alabama players. It was the fans, because now we don’t have to deal with Round 2 of this torture.
