LAST MINUTE NEWS AND NOTES, UGA V. BAMA

Dr. Saturday’s most recent post centers on Atlanta oil tycoon , Tex Pitifeld, and more specifically, Mr. Pitfield’s position on Saturday’s UGA v. Bama game, which is as follows:

Pitfield: If I was governor, I’d cancel the [UGA-Alabama] game. That is just a huge amount of gasoline, that this structure, this system, this state cannot handle the expenditure on right now.

That gas needs to be used for people to go to work, and for people to take care of their families. I did the same thing with my tennis team yesterday. I told them that I wasn’t going to start wasting gas to go play tennis.

And I’m sorry. I know I’ve got a target on me right now by a couple hundred thousand football fans. Game should be canceled. People need to stay home…

I don’t think we have even begun to see the blood on the streets that this is going to produce. I think you’re going to see a number of small gasoline stations fail. I would think you may see some distributors fail.

 This breaking news highlights several things:  1) Oil Tycoons have better names than porn stars (sorry Mr. Rambone); 2) T. Boone Pickens has either a nemesis or an alter-ego in Tex Pitfield; and 3) there’s oil in Georgia, allegedly. 

Irrespective, however well-intentioned T. Boone Pickens errr……Tex Pitfield’s sentiments may be, which is questionable because he is, afer all an oil tycoon in Atlanta (???), his position is nothing short of blasphemous, especially in the South where football singlehandedly saves thousands of deer from certain and ignoble death at the hands of drunken, gun-toting hillbillies. 

Tragically, SNL knows this guy…we were cuffed side by side at the 2003 Fla.-Ga. game.  Late….
