The Clowney Man Cometh
Oh, Lordy, Lordy, here we go. The you-can’t-lick-our-cocks University of South Carolina Gamecocks haven’t played the first down of the 2013-14 season and there’s already an uproar regarding smack talk from Super Star Jadeveon Clowney about his perception of opposing quarterbacks and what he sees in their eyes peering from behind those expensive helmets. And nope, he’s not talking eye colors, either. He’s talking their fear of The Clowney Man.
And what does the Old Bald Coach Steve Spurrier have to say about this kind of brash bragging on the part of one of his players?
“…We’re not all like Marcus Lattimore… he never said a bad word about anybody…the problem is when you have a loud-mouth guy that doesn’t play worth a crap…”
The Old Bald Coach
Evidently he feels like Jadeveon plays worth a crap.
Get me outta here Percy…only 23 days until Kickoff and Oh Woe will be The Red Man and his Cocks if JC doesn’t play worth a crap…

Sheila, I don’t have a clue when it comes to American Football, but hell, I like the way you put this together.

Don, you old flatterer, you. 🙂 Thanks for reminding me that not everyone is as familiar with American football as The Red Man. Here is your Key to the Season: Eleven guys wearing uniforms elaborate enough to go to War in a small desert country play offense with a quarterback who is their platoon leader and either throws a brown oblong object made of leather or hands it off to a teammate who runs with it while eleven other guys wearing just as elaborate uniforms (but in different colors) try to stop them on defense. The defense has no quarterback but occasionally a leader emerges. For the South Carolina Gamecocks, their defensive hero is The Clowney Man.
Coach Steve Spurrier was the head coach of The University of Florida Gators for many years, and all Gamecocks loathed and despised him because he handed them their asses on a regular basis every year. Seven years ago the Cocks did the only wise thing they’ve ever done. They hired him to be THEIR head football coach.
The End. Enjoy the season with us!! 🙂

My mommy is beyond disappointed that your Gamecocks will not be taking on the Texas A&M Aggies this season. She would have loved seeing The Clowney Man key in on those dollar signs in Johnny Manziel’s eyes, just before burying Johnny Football’s spoiled rotten butt in the turf. Oh my, Mommy got a little violent there. She’s ready for some football.
P.S. For some odd reason that even she cannot explain, Mommy has a thing for your coach. Weird. 😉

Wow Miss Harper Lee – looks like The Red Man hit an LSU nerve today with your mommy who surprised the old woman Slow with her comments about Money Mad Manziel. Well, well, well – it doesn’t surprise The Red Man who has an anti-Aggie bond with your mommy. Hook ’em if you recall.
P.S. Uh, oh. Even The Red Man is surprised your mommy has a thing for the ol’ ball coach. Weird. Weirder. Weirdest. 🙂

Anne, that’s very sweet! How has it gone for you to be in Texas? So sorry I didn’t get down to your area, but I came back very quickly this last trip. The conference in Dallas went well – but not a lot of book sales!! Will catch up with you next trip and thanks for hanging around with us.
Much love to you and all my cousins,
Sheila

Sigh…you explained the game as clearly as Ma’s Daddy did for her many years ago, and still Ma is clueless. Just flash a horse picture periodically and she’ll stay tuned. 😀

Sigh. Football season is a trying time for some of The Red Man’s favorite followers, but the old woman Slow will always love her horses best. Don’t you worry about that. Please stay tuned. 🙂

Oh thank goodness, Red! Ma was muttering about getting on board with sports, but then later when she tossed me a Frisbee, I got hit in the backside. It’s best we keep her happy looking at horses.

Oh Miss Poppy we miss our horses on Old Plantersville Road when we are at Casa de Canterbury. We will content ourselves with looking at our pictures if we ever get them!! 🙂

Oh, yeah…American football season. I’ve got a few tid-bits I’ve been saving about the language of the game, and of empires in decline. Guess I should get on with it before half the teams are out of their perspective races and nobody cares any more. What an appropriate name for your Carolina team…love it…almost as cool as the Toledo Fighting Mud Hens.

Yes, it was a bit of a culture shock 40 some-odd years ago when we had to begin pulling for some Cocks. Something odd in that for me. The first third of my life I had been all about Hook ’em and Bevo which seemed quite normal growing up a Longhorn fan – but Cocky was a bit of a stretch. Now The Red Man thinks it’s funny.
The Toledo Fighting Mud Hens is a whole different set of images. 🙂
Please do share the tidbits before we’ve moved on to the Australian Open next year. 🙂
