After a nightlong Tropical downpour, the powers been off, the cable and internet's been off, my stomach's off...mainly because I've been doing paper work all evening.
Big goings on this Saturday...Vanderbilt crushed it, The Gators have a football team again...Georgia does not. We have to talk about Auburn's shenanigans (Dr Womm should he choose to participate gets Auburn...youtube fans have the best taste in music, relatively speaking, and sharing the state with Alabama gives them a perpetually cranky edge)...and LSU,AL-LUH-BAAAMUH, ARKANSAS, ISBW's Gamecocks (we're gonna get to why...I promise) and Mazes baked Mississippi State Bulldogs all looked the part.
Ole Miss? Well...there's only one person that's gonna listen at this point...
Back to my paperwork...and the antacids.
P.S. Y'all did a fine job carrying the load last week...especially you Maze's. You did a great job of demonstrating how bored and sick and tired you are of the SEC.
I'm probably going to regret asking, but what pray is a 'gamecock'?
ReplyDeleteLoving that track.
Fightin' cocks...roosters for cock fighting.
ReplyDeleteCollege football because of State identity and the fact that these teams have been playing since the late 19th century is full of arcane nicknames and mascots that weren't put together by marketing firms. Most of the time they actually have meaning...which means they aren't always acceptable.
The ASPCA gets off and on thief case but thanks to a general ignorance the PC crowd hasn't cottoned on to the fact that Gamecocks was the nickname of a pretty feisty South Carolina unit in the Confederacy.
During the late 80's early 90's they put out a lot of gear with an abbreviated version of their nickname...Bob Mould was a big fan of the hats.
Etta James. What a voice. I love that woman.
