The Fonz is a Big Fan of the Shockers

Henry Winkler, better known as The Fonz, is now a fan of Wichita state and donned a cap and did the Shocker to show his support.

Henry Winkler, better known as Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzerelli from Happy Days and the dad from Royal Pains—what, just me?—is apparently a big Wichita State fan. There's a whole back story involving his son, his son's friend, and his son's friend's grandmother, and if you are truly interested in learning why The Fonz decided to get down with the Shockers, you should feel free to read it over at ESPN. Especially for this sentence: "He even threw up the school's 'shocker' sign and tweeted out the team's "Play Angry" slogan."

And that's all you really need to know. The Fonz is doing the shocker in purple plaid and may do it some more in the future now that Wichita State upset Kansas to advance to the Sweet 16. Not sure what that stiff Richie would say about this, but we are on board with Edgy 21st Century The Fonz.
