    Apr 15 2026
    The kick is up, and the kick is... good afternoon, sports fans! In this thrilling episode of the Superfan Diaries, we are traveling deep into the heart of Waco, Texas, to unmask the legendary Baylor University superfan known simply as "T-Rex." Travis Carver isn't just famous for prowling the Big 12 sidelines in outrageous dinosaur suits; he’s a game-day hero who has single-handedly engineered a system to distribute thousands of free Baylor football and basketball tickets to the local community. But how exactly does a guy who didn't even graduate from Baylor become an Honorary Alumni, and why did he happily skip a family wedding just to claim the prize? You'll have to tune in to uncover the jaw-dropping extremes of his die-hard college sports fandom—including the unbelievable, highly calculated secret behind the exact birth month of his first child that proves just how far one man will go to ensure he never misses a single kickoff. If you want to know what it truly means to represent Baylor Nation and yell "Sic 'em," hit play right now, because this is one wild, prehistoric ride you absolutely cannot afford to miss!
