Driving thru Tuscaloosa, Alabama, I was struck by all the "Roll Tide" signs and buttons. Later in the trip, we were in a Montgomery, Alabama, souvenir shop and I was searching thru a bin of pins. My wife said, "What are you doing?" "I'm looking for a "Roll Tide" pin." The older woman behind the counter glared at me and said in a deep gruff voice, "Y'all in Auburn Country now." Uh, yes ma'am.
Driving south to Corpus Christi, I was schooling my wife on chants and where/when to use them: Go Buckeyes, Go Cornhuskers, Go Jayhawks (sorry Gary), Go Hawkeyes, Sooners, Longhorns (Texas is especially tough), etc. She has a lot of trouble with Buckeyes-Hawkeyes.
Sorry Bama, even this lovely cheerleader couldn't stop No.11 UCLA stemming the Tide in OT.
ReplyDeleteFold Tide!
ReplyDeleteI guess they didn't fold, but in the end ... they wrinkled.

ReplyDeleteAt least you didn't have to explain the Penn State chant.
