Hey, did you catch that absolutely bizarre moment from Wednesday night’s Loyola Chicago and Duquesne men’s hoops game in which a delivery person from UberEats interrupted the action on the floor?
Yeah. Wild stuff. Who ordered food to be delivered in the middle of a game? Was it a referee who needed a McDonald’s fix during the contest?
Well, in shocking news to absolutely NO ONE, it turns out the whole thing might have been fake.
Austin Hansen, Loyola’s assistant athletics director, tweeted a video of his view of the action and had a few observations: That it was DoorDash, not UberEats; that he didn’t order it; and that it was probably a prank:
Everyone keeps asking me what happened with the door dash guy on the court at tonights game. Here was my angle.

1. I did not order the McDonalds, even though it was being "delivered" steps from my camera position.

2. This kid was clearly doing a prank for Youtube/TikTok. You can see that he is wearing a microphone, and tons of students were filming him with their phones. pic.twitter.com/xd5xEMuloX

3. They didn't kick him out. He just casually walked back into the stands with his McDonalds in hand.

4. I will personally tackle anyone else who does this. Just let the athletes play the game without worry that they are going to get hurt by a stray delivery person.

Yep.
