Do you ever remember getting excited to see one of your favorite athletes in person but that athlete having an incredibly forgetable performance?
What happened last night at Purcell Pavilion wasn’t far off for a legendary act that has run halftime shows across the NBA and college basketball for years.
If you’re not already familiar with “Red Panda” then take a couple of minutes and enjoy the act.

Who possibly wouldn’t enjoy an act that features a young lady on a unicycle kicking bowls on top of her head?
Magic.
Having covered both the NBA and college basketball during my career I can say firsthand Red Panda’s act is something to behold and was often times more entertaining than some of the NBA contests I covered.
It wasn’t the first time it’s happened to her but Wednesday night our hero (Red Panda) didn’t have the best go at halftime of Notre Dame vs. Syracuse at Purcell Pavilion.
BREAKING: Red Panda just dropped multiple bowls at #NotreDame vs. Syracuse.
REPEAT: Multiple bowls were dropped.

And not long after this tweet, video of the incredibly rare footage emerged – the good news is that Red Panda was able to gather herself after the rough start and finish strong.
She redeemed herself don’t worry. pic.twitter.com/GE2MDVRuir

Now if that’s not the sign of a real champion I really don’t know what is.
