Football fans look to the sky for pre-game entertainment

FISHER -- It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's a youth football pre-game. Instead of watching the field, fans of the Fisher Bunnies and Mahomet Bulldogs were looking up. That's because a skydiver delivered the game ball from above. 

John Colclasure has been jumping out of planes for almost 20-years making almost 20,000 jumps. Tuesday night was all about his family.

Even though Colclasure is from Mahomet, he makes sure to support both teams. He wore a helmet with both mascots on it.

Fun fact: Colclasure was in the movie "The Bucket List" as a skydiver with Morgan Freeman's character.
