Fan asks ESPN's Sam Ponder to pet his mullet

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN's sideline reporter Sam Ponder is known for a few things aside from her brand of game-day journalism. 

Prior to her marriage to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, the 28-year-old replaced Erin Andrews on College GameDay Saturdays, after Andrews bolted to Fox Sports.

Two young men at Saturday's North Dakota State vs. Incarnate Word game were holding up a poster with the words "SAM PONDER PET MY MULLET."

We wish we could tell you the mullets come close to topping Nevada defensive end Brock Hekking's, but truthfully they both fell short.

Regardless, Ponder showed quite the reaction on her face after hugging one of the mulleted football enthusiasts. It seemed to be a mix of "this is fun" and "I'm scared."
