Tuesday I was in New Orleans. As usual I was driving around trying to find a place that I'd already been to a million different times. Freaking Mid City. It did give me the opportunity to hear this exchange between a radio host and a real live, pure bread coonass...
Host..."Where?"
Budreaxbeaux Tibbadeaux..."I kayn...I kayn...you know whey dey tawk like dey English bu dey nah English,,You know..
Host: Uhh
B.T....You know...whey dey Cadolics and dey Padastans done get along too well.
Host..Ireland?
B.T....Yeeee AWLand...AWLAND...AWLAND...dem people was so nice to me.
Harmless, even charming, on a Tuesday morning, Deebeaux Budreaux...is a differnt creature all together on Saturday nights in the Fall when the Byooo Bangles...his Tigahs...take the field. Higher than Cooter Brown...and meaner than a cat box.
Big game today. LSU was picked to win The Conference at the begining of they year and they are undefeated. The Gators have surprised everybody with how they've been able to wear teams down. They too are undefeated and both teams are ranked in the top 10.
In short, IT'S ON!
I'm ready(not pictured Mexcian Cokecolas, Mallow Cups and pint cans of Boddingtons).
Trivia: Our own Ronnie is a graduate of the Louisiana State University. We might have a thought for Ronnie Jr but, we will be ruthlessly wishing the worst for senior.
Of course, we can't let this pass without playing the most outrageously over-the-top intro video ever made...
Never ever gets old.
Thankfully the game's in Gainesville this year.
GO GATAHS!
Gators are in all Blue...haven't seen that in a while.
Already got a fight.
You got Knocked the.....OUT!
Field Goal?
Gators 0 - LSU 3.
If the Gators keep beatin' on 'em like that...it'll be a good day.
They are scrapin' after every play.
What a catch...great through to the OUTSIDE.
Put that in your crawfish boil beeot....!!!!!
All defense.
...and field position. Pure football.
Another 3 and out for LSU. If this keeps up a blocked kick or a punt return will put the Gators up.
CAAAAAAAAAAAARAP!
That's what we been waitin' for....interception Watkins!!!!
Good grief. There are teams in the NFL that don't have defenses this good.
Go Punter.
Shut 'em down.
What was that?
Look out now...the Gators are on the move.
FIRST DOWN!!!
Really?........................REALLY??????
Those were points they just fumbled away.
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!

Great stop at the end. This game should at least be tied.
Gators 0 LSU 6
There you go baby...North and South...North and South.
Right back where we were...field position and defense.
Reed.
Here comes Gillisillee baby...he's sneaky like that.
There's not gonna be anybody left on LSU's team if this keeps up.
Tack another 15 on it.
Finally using their speed against 'em...come on y'all.

GATORS 7 - LSU 6
CRAP.
Wait...hold that crap...that looks like a fumble.
Gator BALL.

The Gators are droppin' the hammer like a blacksmith right now.
One quarter to go...the Gators haven't given up a point in the 4th quarter all year.

Burn that clock....burn it down.

:20...LSU has 20 seconds to score and pick up two point conversion.
:09...9 seconds
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS THE PARTY'S OVER!!!!!
HOW BOUT THEM GATORS!!!!!!!
A couple of quotes
Florida Gator Head Coach Will Muschamp:
''That was typical 1980 SEC right there today,'' Muschamp said. ''It was a physical, physical match. ... That's the difference between playing in this league and these other leagues you watch on TV. I know you guys like all these points being scored, but the quarterback won't make it through the season in our league.''
Defensive End Dominique Easley:
''Them boys was huffing and puffing,'' Easley said. ''I was looking in people's eyes and they were scared. That's what we wanted. We wanted to take somebody's will. We like to take people's will, not just win the game. Make them remember this night.''
...and it's a wrap.
4th an 21! 2 sacks in a row. Geaux tiger!
ReplyDeleteNice stunts...but, you get back to the TV...Gators are moving the ball.
DeleteWhich is worse? LSU with 12 or FL refs who can't count?
ReplyDeleteHow about a review for a penalty that was declined.
DeleteLSU BALL!! Short yards. I smell a tiger td coming.
ReplyDeleteYour nose is defective.
DeleteGator D too much for 'em.
Two turnovers for the Gators 3 points for LSU.
Get ready for Burton and Reed.
Ugh. Only 3. They'll need to do better than that to pull this one out. I'll take for now.
ReplyDeleteIf the Gators can just hang on to the ball.
DeleteI'm starting to feel a little sick- might not make it to church in the morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm the only one here who know's just how bad that is.
DeleteWhat's that stuff on the plate? It looks strangely healthy, but I'm guessing it's not. I only ask because I started a diet today.
ReplyDeleteHa. There were some carrots and bell peppers...raddishes but, once you slather them in Jalapeno and Cheese dip. Then there was cheese and summer sausage. Nothing better for sitting in front of a football game.
DeleteI don't do football but I just might take it up after reading this post. Fabulous commentary.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you ma'am.
DeleteIt is a tradition here that used to include participation from a regular reader, and dear friend who my son refers to as Uncle but WHO OBVIOUSLY can't be bothered anymore.
We'll have to find you a team...the SEC is notorious for putting on the dog. No sweatshirts and jeans for us. Sun and cocktail dresses...ties and coats for the male students. We are put the st...sttt...stttt...in stylish.
Even among us there are stand outs...Ole Miss! They don't win many games, as the saying goes, but they've never lost a party. Georgia fans are also pretty slick. Gator fans sadly are the worst dressed.
We'll have to give it some thought.
Have you decided! I have been thinking but have only got 'gataaaas' in my head.
DeleteI see your friend has made a return - well done on the almost naming and shaming!
And what is this egg bowl he speaks of?
Ole Miss.
DeleteThe Ole Miss Rebels. Fun for you because the Egg Bowl is the annual game between Ole Miss and Mississippi State...they play for a trophy of a football. It's an old trophy and the ball looks like an egg the way footballs used to.
The game carries some social implications as Ole Miss is seen as old money and culture while Miss State is agriculture.
We have readers from both camps and it doesn't take much to rile em up. We will.
Hotty Toddy
okay, okay I'M HERE!!! just a little late is all. turns out i was in the great state of flerda for the weekend, sans computer. got to watch the gators kick *ss with a buckeye fan (who still holds the mugging of troy smith against us - HA!). unfortunately i missed participating in the beautiful commentary here.
ReplyDeletespeaking of ole miss, however, does anybody know where the Egg Bowl will be this year? ef, you getting us tix or what? :)
Oxford...I've already got the tickets. I'm keeping them in my small intestine for now and will produce them on game day.*
DeleteSpeaking of the nuts...narrative on their message board is that Gator fans don't appreciate Meyer enough. Now that he's their coach...our feelings toward him present yet another opportunity for them to demand validation....which, of course, they obsessively crave.
*Maybe the Ole Miss fan I work for can actually be useful for once. We'll see
