I am so fired up about LSU football. It was great watching the teams that we beat, through the regular season, have great success in the bowls.
I do want to tell you a story about my trip to Tennessee during the Christmas Holidays.
I was in Columbia, TN and had the need to change my oil and have a general check-up of my truck. It just so happened that these guys were enthusiastic at their job. They were working on 3 different cars at once shouting their every move to the foreman as if he were the boss on a chain gang. Lifting the hood here boss. Taking the cap off boss. They were in sync and fun to watch. While they were working I noticed a couple of them whispering and glancing my way. I stood there and then walked around and noticed my reflection in the mirror. I figured out what these guys were looking at. There I was decked out in my purple and gold. LSU Tigers jersey, LSU Titleist golf hat. I had everything except my LSU Tiger underwear showing. It was then that I noticed they all had Tennessee Vols hats on so I took the opportunity to razz my fellow SEC compadres. I congratulated them on getting a bowl bid after the spanking they received from the LSU Tigers. I also thanked them for laying down so we could go to the BCS Championship Bowl Game. We couldn’t have done it without them. I did mention that we would have kicked Georgia’s butt also.
As I was running my mouth I noticed the call outs for doing this here and doing that there had stopped.
Just then I realized I probably had overstepped my bounds and there was an uncomfortable silence. A voice came out from under my car and from down in the well and said, “Checking his rear end!” I jumped back and said, Awe Hell Naw!
Well the silence was broken and we all busted out laughing and joked about football. Eventually I was dogging Georgia for not even making it to the SEC championship game. I then noticed they were giggling a litlle bit everytime I mentioned Georgia and a voice from down in the well said, Rear end all lubed up. Coming up.
The guys went to whispering again and this massive man came walking up the steps. As he reached the top he turned around and he was wearing the nastiest looking Georgia Bulldog hat ever. He had to be 6’ 8” tall, 350 lbs. He looked around and said, “Somebody said something about Georgia.”
Guess what? All the Tennessee guys pointed at me. He walked over to me, smiled and said, Go Tigers!
Turns out he hates Tennessee and played defensive tackle for Georgia and was from Livonia, Louisiana.
There is a God!
