Frankie Grizzle-Malgrat became an Internet sensation during the 2013 college football season. Grizzle-Malgrat, 21, calls himself “Red Lightning,” which is fitting as you watch his shock of red hair screech across the Florida State sideline. Red Lightning was with the Seminoles during the team’s BCS Championship victory on Monday and now shares the story of Florida State’s triumph in his own words.

It was a early start to the day. Up at 7:30 and at the Rose Bowl no later than 9:00. We had our normal game day routine; setting up the field, putting jerseys on pads and making sure every player had what they needed. We also got to enjoy a little free time and go on the field before the players got there and take some pictures and take the moment all in.

Once the players got there, it was go time. The final preparations to get the players whatever else they needed and to do our pre game and game time jobs.

Once the game started, it was craziness from there. Since we were off to not such a good start, it was a little nervewracking. As the game went on and we started coming back, so did the confidence.

However, in the end, with Jameis being Jameis and with the help of the offense, we came out on top. (It was) one of the most surreal things I’ve ever experienced. As the confetti dropped I couldn’t help myself but to shed some tears because this was a dream come true. I also found every player I could to give them a hug and tell them congrats.

Another exciting moment was being able to direct the band in the war chant! But all in all, it was an unforgettable night and a dream come true!
