This past October, the critically acclaimed, award winning team of JoeSportsFan.com Fan Hunters stumbled on to one of Seattle's finest, Mr. "Sea-Fence". As we've come to find out through research, in-depth reporting and a little insight from our email tipsters, Mr. Sea-Fence is much more than a large, massive wall of humanity toting a sign that fails to make any sense: he's Seattle's version of the Super Fan... the Super Fan with a few scores to settle.
Big Lo is 400 pounds of intense passion, and right now, he's just a little bit pissed off at former Sonics owner Howard Schultz:
---

Big Lo standing outside of a Starbuck's drive-through to talk to the Super Sonics owner? Come on. That's like asking to speak to "Ronald" outside of McDonald's, or Jack at Jack In The Box. And yes, that was Mr. Sea-Fence, Seattle's self-proclaimed biggest fan. And yes, he was wearing an Oakland A's jacket in the video. Makes perfect sense.
If the Sonics actually do leave town, they might want to check for slashed tires before the moving vans and trucks start the ignition...
"It's going to be one hell of a tug-of-war if they grant them permission to leave, because I'm going to be pulling on that bus."
Indeed.
In addition to fighting the powers that be, Big Lo lives and dies with all of his Seattle teams. Since the Sonics have set a franchise record for futility in '07/'08, Lo is in poor health, shocking, I know.
"I've been through more medical situations this year than ever before. I got the flu, pneumonia, a bladder infection. I've never been so sick. This Sonics situation has got me physically sick, as well as mentally sick."
Super Fans aren't supposed to get sick - and neither are superheroes. That's exactly what you are, Big Lo. You are a living, breathing action figure, so your health should not be in question. Your city and your teams NEED YOU.
[Turn back to 3rd person point of view] Big Lo has also had 3 people die in his arms, died 3 times during surgery to halt a flesh eating disease (keep the jokes on mute, please), he worked as a bouncer at a strip club, had problems with alcohol and marijuana, tried out for The Biggest Loser, and convinced OJ Simpson to autograph his black leather glove. Oh, and he won the lottery too.
He's also really good with barbecue:
"They used to call me the Muhammad Ali of the barbecue biz."
And when the Sonics return from road trips on cold, snowy nights, Big Lo drives to the airport, clears off the snow and ice on the players' cars and serves as a one man welcoming committee.
"The guys get a kick out of my loyalty. Some call it stalking, some call it puzzling. I call it fun."
We call it obsessive. But if you insist on being the biggest fan in the city, could you at least refrain from wearing an Oakland A's jacket in your protest videos?
And stop with the stupid signs. Not even your action figure hawks for that damn thing.
Lo is about helping people, I have become a friend of his and what I found out is he will help anyone at any time, Get stck in the snow, wow here comes Big Lo in his Jeep Ready to help you out! Thats how I meet him. He is A True Person how would give his last Buck to help you out. So to all of you haters FUCK YOU!!! God Bless you and your Family Lo we Love you!

Like I said, sad, very sad.
U GO BIG LO, April 30, 2009 05:04 PM
Big Lo is one of the kindest, most passionate, and funny men on the face of the planet. He has showed me untold generosity in the few years that i have known him, and you can't deny how touching his story is. And especially today, as he has been completely sober for years and losing weight by the day, you all should be bowing to him
H8tr Hawk, January 27, 2009 09:01 PM
Dude, fuck you!!No one cares if you know Big Lo or suck his distended weenie. He's a fucking wannabe and all his followers are bitches as well. Go to Seahawkshuddle.com and see what real Hawks fans are saying about that faggot.

Keep on cheering Lo...
Hawks 4 Life , October 12, 2008 08:10 PM
If you only knew Big Lo. He's one of the most right on dudes I've ever met he took my kid and me to a Seahawk practice and introduced us to many of the players on the team. He isn't rude in fact he's very kind and wouldn't be on some stupid site talking stuff about people. Find somebody to bash that deserves it like you. You stupid A$$e$...
Josh Brown, October 12, 2008 08:10 PM
I just want to say if you were actually a human being and got to know Big Lo I don't think you would sling all the crap you all are slinging at least he is a true fan and doesn't quit on his team unlike you jerks that call yourselves fans.And a company went to him about the action figure he didn't have it made. You are a very jelous and self-centered piece of ...
Alan L, August 12, 2008 07:08 AM
You sound like a SeaSnob.... and who gives a rats patootie what you and you 300's think. If you don't like him, don't watch him but he's put it all out for the local sports teams long before he ever got media attention. Would you call Bill the Beer man a media whore too? You sound so intellegent with your name calling.. Geez.. grow up.
Seattlehawk94, July 22, 2008 07:07 PM
Who cares? He's annoying and a media whore.The only people that like him are the other kilt wearing media whores. Most of us who PAY for our seats in the 300s think he's a douchebag and wish they could use a pin to delate his huge ass...
Alan L, June 17, 2008 12:06 PM
I've know Lorin since Little League days. He's always been very large and he's always been a major sports fan. In High School he was no different than what he is now, a rowdy rooter (a name of a little group we had). His enthusiasm has never changed so don't give him any crap about not being a life long sports fan... He won the lotto and shared it with his family, before his life threatening illness took whatever was left. Correction though. He's younger than 45....
Sea Pimp, June 7, 2008 10:06 AM
As I read some of these comments down below, I have to ask myself, why all the haters in the world. I know this Man Big Lo; he gives all that he can back to the world and is always reaching out with a helping hand.Why does he not work some will say? He is 500 pounds tall, he asked me for a job, I had none for him and felt awkward in saying no, and do any of you out there have a job for him? It’s tough life being a big man.So he finds a little work here and there and spends most of his time working with under privileged kids in coaching baseball and football, takes many of his kids to games, and yes from some of the tickets that been donated to him, Big Lo gives back.The jacket, Athletics, was just that, a little league Sports jacket for one of his many teams he coaches. Big Lo has lost over a hundred pounds, and is dieting and is working out, recently diagnosed with diabetes he is fighting for his life, but remains upbeat that he is here in this world to be a positive influence on others and that is life has meaning, you we all say the same?
Sea Pimp, June 6, 2008 12:06 PM
I am the Man in White that you are asking about, and friend to Big Lo. Some have referred to me as white suite Pimp, or as the fans at Qwest Field, have named me, “Sea Pimp”. I had no ideal that they were talking about me. Back in 2004 as I walked down the isle to the front row, they would stand up and cheer as I walked by, I got to my seat, and said, “their not talking about me”! And they all said they were, so I walked back up the isle, and the all the fans stood up and started to chant Sea Pimp, and I said, “me”, and they said yes. So there it began, and it has taken on a life of it’s own. It had to be all the hats, suits and long coats that I would ware, or it was the many ladies that would sit with me, not sure.
B. Gates, April 16, 2008 04:04 PM
The last game I went to there was a bum outside with a sign that said "I need money for fuel for my lear jet" and I thought where did this asshole get a jet I thought I was the only one?
Patrick, April 15, 2008 02:04 PM
While a part of me feels a teeny tiny shred of sorrow for the guy, I have a hard time feeling bad for him when he openly admits that he won't lose any more weight because that would make him less visible in the crowd.
SIS, April 15, 2008 01:04 PM
I want mah baby-back, baby-back, baby-back ribs...........CHILLLLIII IIIIII'S baby-back ribs!Agree with comments below, fat, self promotiing, attention whore. STOP GIVING HIM TICKETS TO GAMES AND GET HIS TO JENNY CRAIG!
Mr Irrelevant, April 15, 2008 07:04 AM
This guy sounds like a real life Forrest Gump. And he doesn't even sound like a life-long sports fan. Looks like he became the biggest fan when people started noticing him. He's definitly an attention whore and a fat fucking perpetrator.
Sniper Hawk, April 15, 2008 05:04 AM
Another attention whore
Chris Crocker, April 15, 2008 04:04 AM
LEAVE HOWARD SCHULTZ ALONE!!!!!
Seattlehawk94, April 14, 2008 11:04 PM
Dude is nothing but a self promoting pile of Crisco. And what's sad is he lives in his mom's basement at age 45, look like Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, and thinks people actually like him..Funny, REAL fans in Seattle can't stand the overblown Hippo looking fatass.
J.L. White, April 14, 2008 03:04 PM
The Oakland A's jacket is indicative of the fact that while Big Lo is a big Seattle fan, he's an even bigger fan of the green and gold color combination.
Patrick, April 14, 2008 05:04 AM
If anyone in the Great Northwest knows of this white dressed pimp, please feel free to drop us a line.
ChiTown Steve, April 14, 2008 04:04 AM
Still no feature on the man in the white suit though?
Soco, April 14, 2008 04:04 AM
Is there an echo in here?

FORTY YEARS!!!

Is "putz" spelled with 2 't's" or 1? Puttz. Putz. Hmmmmm.
In May of 1984, frustrated by several failed attempts to correctly pronounce their starter's name, the Phillies made an executive decision that from that moment forward, Porfirio Altamirano would be known as "Bob Jenkins" for convenience.
