How bout them Dawgs

September 26th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in my friends

OK, so since a friend of mine (who shall not be named) has these crazy rules about what is fit to post on her site and what is not; and since I am not encumbered by the same restrictions she lives by, I am going to post something she sent me

I’d love to post this on my blog, but it’s not exactly family-friendly.  Still, I couldn’t resist sharing with those whom I know would appreciate it!

This week my #3 (should still be #1 since they haven’t lost a game!) Georgia Bulldogs play #8 Alabama in a game so big, that even ESPN couldn’t justify not having GameDay on the UGa campus (they’re in Athens for the first time in 10 years).

That caused me to remember the story of the time, somewhere in the 60′s, when UGa played ‘Bama for Homecoming.  There was the big parade the afternoon before taking the traditional route down Milledge Ave to 5 Points, and down Lumpkin St.  The Redcoat Band and the ROTC marched, and all the fraternities, sororities, and other campus groups proudly displayed their floats exhorting the Dawgs to victory.  Then along came one frat’s float, festooned with tampons everywhere.  The slogan?  “Stop the Crimson Tide!”

Another favorite came from an old friend who graduated from the Univ. of S. Carolina, home to the Fighting Gamecocks (whom I used to like–because they hated Clemson–until this full-of-himself coach named Steve Spurrier came along).  One year they played the OTHER USC–Southern Cal.  Annie chuckled with delight on relaying the huge banner prepared by some astute students of her allegiance:  “No Trojans can hold our Cocks”!

Gotta love it!

Now aren’t you glad I don’t bother with those pesky rules  :D
