THE 2012 MUSIC CITY BOWL
In the presence of greatness . . . THE DORES!
Of
course, the minute Vanderbilt became Bowl Eligible; Ann announced HER decision
. . . “We ARE going to the Bowl, wherever it is.” You learn after many years of trial and
error, the river flows in a certain direction, best to go with the flow. And, I wanted to go too – seeing as how
history was in the making, Vandy being in a Bowl two years straight.
It
began to unfold with Buck Biller committing. Then, I found myself at the Music
City Bowl, with my beautiful wife Ann, and my best friend Buck.
Also
present were Ann’s daughter Maggie Hunt and her two buddies Webb and Kelly.
It was
a COLD-ASS DAY, but a great day for football!

NEW YEARS EVE
In the
presence of greatness . . . ABER, HEME & STUBBY!
Lorenzo Bozino, The Heme, Frank J. Bucko Billerisimo. Notice how old and decrepit Buck and I look compared to THE HEME (even though Heme is two years our senior)?
So in
the run up to the Bowl, I got e-mails, calls and text messages from ATO Vandy
Football Greats GEORGE TOMLINSON, GEORGE ABERNATHY and CORY CLARK! We arranged a little dinner get together, for
old time’s sake.
When
CORY “STUBBS” CLARK showed up, the place “lit up” – due to his Esquire hair
style. It was like "Radio-Head" except it was "Radioactive-Headf!"
We all
behaved as gentlemen, because ABER had his lovely wife Kimberly and daughter
Kristen - whom he dubbed “the red-heads” – join us. Lovely ladies both, I was awed, being a
former red-head myself.
Buck Biller led us all in the ATO Prayer. A good time was had by all.
BETA PI BLOG UNLEASHES A NEW FEATURE . . .
RARE & FORGOTTEN TICK LORE FOR THE ANALS
So . .
. is the fanfare done yet? The Heme then
proceeded to recount IN HIS OWN WORDS how during football workouts, his arm got injured. You could
have heard a pin drop (not a pin-head, an actual pin):
“. . .
you have to understand this certain move . . . when a 300 pound guy is coming at
you . . . if you just hop a little bit, right before he hits you, and hit him
here, with your right upper arm, while you are airborne, he ends up knocking
you one step back, BUT HE GOES DOWN.
Once you understand that trick, GUYS GO DOWN. But in the process of taking hits over and
over on the right arm, same spot, my arm blew up like a balloon. It was like I had a THIRD BICEP. Some guys took me the ER, I felt like a freak
of nature, and they x-rayed it, and told me nothing was broken, it was a
HEMATOMA. So after that, all my football
buddies were coming up to me, patting my wound saying ‘Oh, how are you, how is
‘little heme’? – as if my hematoma was a sick baby. It was wearing me out. After that, I became known as “Heme.” Then, we were over at the ATO House, throwing
guys up, and GUYS WENT DOWN, I made sure of that, I was piling up on the new
guys . . . . because you know, somebody
spiked the punch unbeknownst to me . . . and that is when it happened . . . as
we were piling up on some guy, probably Jack Meunch, others started chanting
HEME, HEME, HEME. Thus endeth the
lesson.”
Is that not one of the ALL-TIME-GREAT Tick-a-lor stories?
Is that not one of the ALL-TIME-GREAT Tick-a-lor stories?
