I guess the coaches can’t opt out. 😉

There’s no opting out with mayo, you’re either egg yolks, lemon juice and olive oil or you’re not…

I guess it could be worse. It could have been the “Stuff They Make You Drink Before a Colonoscopy” Bowl. I’ve heard that stuff is horrible. (I’ll find out soon enough.)

Don’t make any plans the day of the prep. It’s like Georgia practice. It’s so hard that it makes gameday a breeze.

Shiiiiiiit man, give me a ripe tomato, fried market bacon, iceberg lettuce and some white bread? That’s enough for one good sandwich. A filet of slab blackened crappie and I’m set.

Random story: had a production company rent out some of our office space to film a TV pilot. Our contract included a clause that they would not do anything to damage the image of the property, tenants, etc. PA said “don’t worry, we’re not shooting a mayonnaise commercial.” And that’s when I found out that’s industry code for shooting a p0rno. Which comes to mind whenever I see the Duke’s get poured on someones head…

Ever see “The Magic Christian”? The Beatles Doc “Get Back” was filmed in the studio where the movie was to be made. The thrust of the film, starring Peter Sellers and Ringo, is that everyone has their price. The boxing scene is particularly funny, the fighters square off, drop their hands and kiss. The announcer says “And the crowd was sickened by the site of no blood”! Everyone has their price.

Were you watching yesterday when they were interviewing the new coach during the game? He was talking about how the Hokies were going to return to their defensive roots while the Terps QB burned them for a 70 yd bomb! They all got a good laugh out of it!

I don’t know if this is behind a paywall but it’s a fun article about the inaugural Music City Bowl. We froze our asses off but beating Bama was great! “It was getting close to Christmas, with Virginia Tech set to play Alabama in the inaugural Music City Bowl on Dec. 29, and what Hokies long snapper Shane Beamer was seeing on TV had him concerned: An ice storm was bearing down on Nashville.
This was the first year Virginia Tech let its players drive to the bowl game themselves rather than travel as a team, allowing them to pocket a little bit of extra travel cash. Beamer, showing some instincts that would later serve him well as a head coach, knew if he didn’t get on the road right away, it’d be a hellacious trip with the weather, so he informed offensive linemen Dwight Vick, Derek Smith and Tim Schnecker he was leaving ASAP and to pack up if they were coming along.”

Winter 84-85 was miserably cold. Ambient temperature dropped to minus 12 degrees in Georgia. Wind chill was brutal. We stayed in the field at Ft Benning with no extra cold weather gear. In retrospect, our leadership was a bunch of assholes.
