 Weeks before the game, an SDSU student tried to get in Jimmer's head by creating a Facebook event that invited students to “Poke Jimmer Fredette’s girlfriend because Jimmer can’t poke her for himself.” In the description, students were told the mission was to "disrupt, upset, distract and irritate (the) opponent.” More than 7,000 people were invited to the event, which had a picture of Jimmer's girlfriend (now wife) Whitney Wonnacott and her Facebook profile.Other students started selling "I poked Jimmer's girlfriend" shirts.These shirts were banned for the game, yet a few students managed to sneak in with them.
