Tailgating

You are currently browsing the archive for the Tailgating category.

In his younger days, SNL was prone to excessive behavior that occasionally (though not as often as warranted) led to free rides in..errr…government vehicles-you know, the ones with lights on top.  On 2 such occasions, SNL was at the WLOCP celebrating a UF victory over the ‘Dawgs (I hate the ‘Dawgs). 

So the following clips are for those who, like SNL, have ventured into the parallel universe of Jax on UG/UGA weekend, and while there have forsaken all that is holy, flouted societal norms, and otherwise commited indecent acts which they will deny to the day they die.  Enjoy.

Some UGA humor…not bad really…

And for Gators who wish to relive the pain of Buck Belue….

Now….the picks…

Not much time-4-2 last week, which makes SNL slightly more respectable than the drunk guy at Harrah’s sifting through discarded tickets in the sportsbook (5 games aver .500).  So, play’em ,fade’em, or watch’em

Air Force (-7.5) at Army:  Air Force won a game by two touchdowns recently and didn’t throw one pass.  No need to throw today either.  Air Force wins big.

Our-Kansas v. Tulsa (-7):  Should be a fun game to watch, but no one will.  Hawgs have covered every game since losing to Florida, and beat Auburn on the road (I know, who doesn’t).  The Golden whatchamacallits from Tulsa have scored  1 million points per game against the kitchen dinette sets on their schedule.  Arkie runs Davis and scores with the Golden whatevers, take the TD and the moneyline for “gravy.”

Oregon (+3) at Cal:  Another game featuring a “Golden” something or other as a mascot.  Beavers, and their toned down uni’s (which still look like something created by Brazilian soccer fans), outscore Bears, take the field goal.

Boston College (-3) over Clemson:  Clemson has failed to cover in every game this year except one.  BC rebounds from last week’s loss at home by kicking the crap out of the disgraced Tigers of the Clemson variety.

Oklahoma (-21) v. Nebraska:  LSU apparently misses Bo Pelini.  Nebraska’s defense makes you wonder why.  Oklahoma…huge!!!

Its the economy, stupid.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….
