(KUTV) Jimmy Fallon agreed to wear a Utes hat if the Runnin' Utes beat the Duke Blue Devils at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 19. The Utes won 77-75.

During the game, Runnin' Utes Head Coach's wife Jan Krystkowiak. spotted the host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and gave him the option to where the hat. Fallon laughed and told her thank you for the gesture, but was hesitant and initially declined to wear the hat. But that wouldn't stop a coach's wife, she was persistent. She even put up her fists and jokingly motioned a boxing match. As Jan walked away she clarified with Fallon "If they win, right?" He repeated her in agreement. Jan then confidently clarified, "When they win." So there you have it. He agreed if they won, he would wear the hat. And there is video proof.

Now a social media campaign has started around #WearTheHat in order to get Fallon to be good to his word and don the Crimson cap. The University of Utah posted a video of the exchange that has already seen nearly 200,000 views.

Fans want Fallon to be good to his word and wear the hat already.

Even non-Ute fans just want him to wear it.

U of U also has the support of the Pac 12.

So far, no response from Fallon on Twitter. While his show is on Christmas break and new episodes won't air again until January, he isn't inactive on social media by any means. He posted on his profile Tuesday morning enjoying some Frozen Hot Chocolate with the family. So there is still a chance fans could see him wear the hat before the holidays are over. Cross your fingers.
