Well Sports Fans, this will be short and sweet because The Red Man is dealing with a cranky editor today. Yes, the old woman Slow is in a very bad mood after the season opener for her Gamecocks against her lifelong nemesis, the Aggies from Texas.
Briefly, and not to belabor any points, the Gamecocks had their ass handed to them on a silver platter last night (52 to 28, but who’s keeping score) by the military men from College Station, and it wasn’t a pretty sight. They never even had to call for their Twelfth Man because the Eleven that were playing took care of business without any trouble.
And speaking of Pretty, it was so bad she went upstairs to watch the US Open Tennis while the rest of us stuck it out in the bleacher seats in the den with Slow, who was a total wreck by the end of the night. Such language, my , my. You know it’s football season when the language gets salty – and I do mean it was saltier than the french fries at the state fair.
Time for the Old Bald Coach to wave a magic wand over this flock of Cocks, or it could be a LONG season at Casa de Canterbury for The Red Man and his pack.
Oh, well. It’s not about winning and losing – it’s how you play the game, right?
That would be, oh so very WRONG. The Cocks had an 18 straight home game winning streak shattered
Get me outta here Percy – here’s hoping all your favorite teams win this weekend and that you have more fun than we did last night at Casa de Canterbury…

If the Cocks don’t stop, the coach is gonna find a jock that can rock. Ahem. I thought Spurrier was going to need sedation right there on the field. Dude was upset.

Ha, you got me beat on this one, plgcm!! That’s what the Cocks need: a jock that can rock!!! If you thought Spurrier was going to need sedation, be glad you weren’t enduring the old woman Slow’s diatribe in the bleacher seats with us…we ALL needed sedation…
The Red Man is looking forward to a new season with the Longhorns under Charlie Strong – Hook ’em!!
Have a great weekend!!

I could probably manage some sympathy if I didn’t bleed maroon! Didn’t get to watch that game cause I was busy down in San Antonio cheering on my grandson’s team. They lost but he did make a loooong TD catch in the last quarter! Gig ’em!

Oh Wanda, Wanda, Wanda…I know you are an Aggie from Way Back, but I love that you are my favorite liberal Aggie!! 🙂
High school football is the best, because it’s all about the game and not yet tainted with the money and fame. To me, as Granny Selma would say. Good for your grandson – that is such fun – and good for you for going!! Hook ’em!
