The “peach girl” has some competition.
A different kind of fan went viral Monday during the Cotton Bowl, when ESPN cameras caught her nervously biting her nails as Tulane trailed USC in the fourth quarter, 45-39.
Meet Ellie Fazio, a Tulane student who became the talk of Twitter when the Green Wave pulled off a historic comeback over the Trojans, 46-45, for their first bowl win since the 2019 season.
Ellie Fazio went viral while attending the Cotton Bowl between Tulane and USC at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on January 2, 2023.

Fazio took to TikTok to share a video clip of herself smiling and a screen recording of her biting her nails while in the stands at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“That game was really exciting,” Fazio wrote in his caption, adding the hashtag, “tulanegirl.”
Fazio reposted the video, which Barstool Sports’ Jack Mac initially shared on TikTok.

“One of the best decisions in college sports history was made today by an ESPN producer putting this individual on my television screen,” Mac can be heard saying in the video. “Oh my gosh thank you look at those eyes.”
Fazio joins the ranks of Catherine Gurd, a Xavier University athlete who became an internet sensation Saturday during the college football playoff semifinal between Ohio State and Georgia. Gurd appeared on the broadcast in the final seconds of the game, when the Buckeyes missed what would have been the game-winning field goal. The Bulldogs won the game, 42-41, and advanced to the national championship.
