Daniel Camacho and I have decided to feature a regular part of the Jim Rome Show on the blog. During the week preceding a big game, emailers send in their checklists on what the opposing team is probably doing to gear up for the big game. It's basically a listing of all tbe stereotypes of a particular region. The west coast vs midwest US are always the best, but being Texans I think we can discriminate between ourselves pretty well.
Please feel free to add your own in the comments section!
So here's the listing Camacho and I came up with for Texas Tech:
1. Apply cow shit cleaner/pretreatment to boots.
2. Grab gas card so you can drive an hour to go get beer.
3. Grab the fiddle.
4. Gaze over the flatlands.
5. Smell the crap filled air.
6. Fry a calf.
7. Bring pet goat to tailgate.
8. Pick last night's skoal out of teeth.
9. Jam out to Jimmy Buffet in a hawaiian shirt.
10. Regret living in the middle of nowhere.
11. Rally around your 0 championships.
12. Operate under the assumption that a tractor is acceptable to tailgate with.
Here's the UT list:
1. Drive 3 hours just to get out of Austin (in your hybrid car).
2. Dodge hippies.
3. Do a little light shopping on the drag.
4. Enjoy being a trustafarian.
5. Make jeans more vintage somehow.
6. Have Obama forcefed down your throat.
7. Participate in a protest against the eating of helpless fish.
8. Sip tea.
9. Listen to little known band on ipod.
10. Set governor's mansion ablaze.
11. Set something else ablaze.
12. Swim with a fat naked hippy chick.
13. Wear those emo glasses.
14. Play bongos naked with Matthew Mccaughnehey and fat naked hippy chick.
15. Operate under the assumption that a 10 speed is acceptable to tailgate with.
