Shot. (Literally.)
This past weekend was not one that will be remembered fondly in the proud history of Georgia Southern football.
For one, the Eagles lost, 28-20 to Louisiana. The setback was the program’s third straight of the season, and served as the last straw for head coach Chad Lunsford. He was fired Sunday.
As if all that wasn’t enough, a video clip of an Eagles player surfing on top of a bus and chugging a beer extended to him from the crowd made the rounds online.
… AD Jared Benko indicated Sunday that Adcock’s surfing escapade factored into his decision to fire Lunsford.
“I share with our coaches and staff all the time, every day is an evaluation… Everything up to the time of the decision was factored in,” he said.

Too bad it wasn’t the catalyst turning around the season. That very well could’ve become a tradition.

It didn’t help that the offending player later jumped offsides on a critical 4th and 1 in the red zone.

Having been to some games there over several seasons to watch a nephew play I can say life there is about 20 years behind Athens. Drinking till falling down seems to be a tradition encouraged. They excel at partying when winning. I can only imagine how they handle “Oh no we suck again” football.

Timing is everything. Doing that after a big win and he’s probably a legend. Doing it before a loss and all hell breaks loose.

It probably killed his subpar football career, but from his Twitter feed I see he’s a budding bro-country singer. So this stunt gets him major dirt road cred within that putrid genre.

Aight, what the hell is bro-country? I don’t listen to the radio as I don’t like what screeches out of it.
Yeeeah, get off my lawn.

RR-specifically CountryRap, aka CRAP…along w/the vast majority of modern country pop/crossover “music” that sounds like a bunch of slack-jawed city slicker posers talking about pick-up trucks, daisy dukes, watermelon bullshit. See bros. like Lee County’s own Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Sam Hunt, florida Georgia etc. Would make the likes of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Vern Gosdin, et al roll over in their graves…

“Bro-country embodies everything that country-music haters hate about country music…”. Normally that statement would be enough for me to disregard the writer’s opinion completely. However, I had the misfortune to hear a Luke Bryan concert a couple of hollows through the woods from the brick barns in Smithonia. It was crap for sure; but, I’ve heard much worse blaring from the barracks and while pumping gas.
I reckon there’s a lot worse than faux country boys with jacked up pickemup trucks, jorts, hard liquor and hot women. I grew up in the disco era.
Get the fuck off my St Augustine lawn.
