Comedian Jermaine “FunnyMaine” Johnson can usually be found in the stands of Legion Field as the Magic City Classic is played. He’s the hype man, the fellow who walks among the people, sharing stories and giving away prizes.
Saturday, FunnyMaine was separated from the fans, stationed just beyond the south end zone. His in-game giveaways and comments came via a display on the videoboard.
