"A Star is Born" doesn't quite cover it when thinking about the tearful Bama preppie & his hot date. A combination of circumstance, intrusive TV lenses and Facebook has likely caused this unsuspecting 'waterworks' to become the unfortunate embodiment of Alabama's loss. He is now the Face of Failure for Bama Nation--and he will be laughed at & reviled. This Unfortunate is now as likely to get leyyd this year as Harvey Almorn Updike, Jr. (of Toomer's Oaks poisoning notoriety) is to be made King for a Day at an Auburn homecoming game. ---Chance of reign--never! Now, this guy didn't do anything--he didn't change the possible outcome of the game, unlike Steve Bartman, he of the infamous Cubs foul ball fiasco. (Bartman deflected a pop fly foul, ruining the out & the Cubs chances to enter the World Series). And look what happened to Steve: "Bartman remained seated as the camera continuously panned live shots of him between multiple replays of the foul ball. The somber image of Bartman wearing a Cubs baseball cap, glasses, headset, and green turtleneck shirt became memorable. Bartman had to be led away from the park under security escort for his own safety as many Cubs fans shouted toward him and others threw debris onto the field and toward the exit tunnel from the field. News footage of the game showed him surrounded by security as passersby pelted him with drinks and other debris. Bartman's name, as well as personal information about him, appeared on Major League Baseball's online message boards minutes after the game ended. As many as six police cars gathered outside his home to protect Bartman and his family following the incident. Afterwards, then-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich suggested that Bartman join a witness protection program, while then-Florida Governor Jeb Bush offered Bartman asylum." Surely nothing like the above will befall Ol Teary Eyes in Tuscaloosa. But--BUT!--he is not exactly the guy you will pick to lead a panty raid in the girls dorms. The chicks won't be winging their lingerie at our guy, but he will collect an s-load of Kleenex! Penalty for a guy getting caught weeping on nationwide live TV: Loss of Down (as in 'getting' down)! :cry: --Just a light hearted thread for the LSU Nation.
I'll always be curious with regard to what she was saying to him during that moment of fame on TV. Any lip readers know?
It's ok baby, it's only a game. Please don't cry. You want some icecream to make you feel better? It's ok. Don't cry.When you get home you can put on your Nick saban under-roos and snuggle next to tidy, your little red stuffed elephant.
I sincerely hope we get a rematch with these guys in the nc game. I live in birmingham and mostly what I hear is how Ala should have won the game, how they let too many opportunities get away from them, and how they outplayed us. Every once in a while some give credit to LSU, but mostly that is not the case. Half or more of our playbook went out the window with Lee. We were by no means perfect, but we still did what we had to do ... at their house. We got the job done. Im not trying to look past our next games, because I know we have some tough fights ahead, but I hope we see them again and make it three wins in a row!
I guess it is all who you know and where you travel in this town (not like any other) but I have not heard much about the game. Sure I read the paper and see what some of the players said, sure I read where a few crazy fans said negative stuff about us. But I stand by what I said in another thread which was I have heard nothing but good things about how fantastic the game turned out. Both of us are still the best teams in college ball.
The guy loves his team and was upset. It's pretty ****ty to keep bagging on him. That could very well be your son at an LSU game watching them lose a big one. Save the macho talk.
I've been at many LSU losses as a student and ever since. I have never once cried and I consider myself as big a fan as anyone on the planet. The guy is a pu$$y and even his girl friend knows it.
