Watch out Nike - It's Time To Fear The Beard
Jan 17, 2010 at 6:13PM | By Riss Jacob Pullen - Build-A-Beard is watching you...
Kansas State basketball's winning streak (14-2) can be attributed to the scruff of number '0' - Jacob Pullen. Since the fall, this all-star junior guard has been growing his beard - openly stating he trims it along the way - and it's caught the attention of competitors and fans alike.
In years past, a player's success could have easily been attributed to the footwear (quite impressively, Pullen averages 19.8 points a game to pace the No. 13/12 Wildcats to their highest ranking in more than 30 years), but now is the year of the beard. And not just any beard - Pullen bravely (and proudly) sports the Abe Lincoln-type facial creativity prompting fans to grow their own. In fact, most Kansas State fans are now beardos!
It has also been reported that the facial-hair challenged opt for Abe costume beards to show support during games while hundreds hold signs with beard cut-outs to frame their face.
In a recent interview, Jacob stated:
"Before games I'll walk out there to shoot around and the first 10 fans in the front row will have the 'Fear the Beard' shirts on — that just relaxes me a lot, allows me to loosen up when I see that kind of fan support."
Rock on, Jacob! We will be sure to follow you more closely as the season progresses, but we're huge fans of your follicles.

It's right that before a player's success could have easily been attributed to the footwear, but now is the year of the beard. And also not just any beard Pullen bravely sports the Abe Lincoln-type facial creativity prompting fans to grow their own.
