JUMP! FOR MY LOVE. JUMP IN!
One magnificent thing about blogging is qualifying exactly how deranged the behavior of fans reveling in the name of sport truly can be. In a feat of redneck excess–department of redundant redundancy in the phrasing there, but humor us–a South Carolina fan meshes several different southern obsessions in a single, fluid motion, encompassing the disciplines of public drunkenness, professional wrestling, and college football foolishness in one move. There’s no sound, but in our own sideways tribute to the late, great June Pointer we present one Gamecocks fan truly jumping for his love. (Feel free to grab your copy of Neutron Dance and play it since the clip itself has no sound.)
Remember: when jumping off a van, a lifejacket is essential gear.

When I want to watch a drunk wrestler, I’ll stick with Jake the Snake Roberts thankyouverymuch.

See… I was thinking more along the lines of Van Halen’s classic “Jump.” But perhaps that’s too passe.

No, not at all. But we’ve been looking for a way to pay any form of tribute to June Pointer.

Since I don’t have “Neutron Dance” on my computer I used Van Halen’s “Jump” as my soundtrack and got a couple of “Wizard of Oz/ Dark Side of the Moon” moments.

I’m thinking much funnier without the mattress and erstwhile flak-jacket.

Oh shit.
I left Van Halen’s 1984 playing as was reading through the site. As I was reading the “Face of ND Football” comments, what song came on? Top Jimmy.
“He’s got the look he’s the king” indeed.
I may have to quit with the drinking and drugs.

Clearly the highlight of the Pointer Sisters career was the “Jessie gets hooked on pills” episode of Saved by The Bell.

As I was watching this clip, hilarity turned to horror as I realized…I think I witnessed this live.

Moose,
How dare you insult Jake the Snake Roberts. Everyone knows he wasn’t a drunk. Jake was/is a crackhead.

Further proof that 9 out of 10 visits to the emergency room in the South begin with a six-pack and this statement: “Hey guys, watch this!!”

Moose Bigelow says:
In one notorious 1999 PPV show, Heroes of Wrestling, he cut a rambling, incoherent promo in which he heavily slurred his words. Minutes later, he staggered toward the ring, apparently drunk, for his scheduled match with Jim Neidhart. During the match, when his snake wriggled free from the bag, he waved the snake toward the audience while it was protruding from his crotch.

Wrastlin’, Jake the Snake Roberts, Part II
If you stepped into the squared circle with Jake, you knew you were in for a hell of a fight. He had that icy look in his eyes that begged you to try to take him on.

It’s typically told as:
“Hold my beer and watch this”
of course a true redneck would never hand off his beer just before popping a whellie in his airboat.
