MARSHAWN LYNCH PLAYS MARIO KART, FORGETS TO FIRE FESTIVE RED SHELLS.

Thank goodness Marshawn Lynch isn't an eighty year old man headed to the curbside market, because bodies would have been flying at the the Cal/Washington game if he were, a game which Ty Willingham was just "three or four plays away from winning." (That quote, of course, should be accompanied by the sound of a well hit Titleist soaring into the azure sky of an early Seattle tee time.)

After scoring the winning td on an immaculately executed toss play, Lynch engaged in some healthy mockery of Washington's victory celebration involving a golf cart by taking the trainer's cart for a spin. On the way, Lynch clearly seizes, goes into a trance, and decides that he is in a life-size game of Mario Kart, driving as close to people as possible while screaming out "HA-ha" and "Im-A Number One-a!"

If he'd had that badass triple red shell power-up, this would have been a gory occurrence indeed--we shudder to think of what would have happened if though he'd gotten the invincible star bonus.

For those of you not literate in MarioKart speak, just click the video to watch one of the strangest and most creative victory celebrations we've ever seen. NOBEL PRIZE! NOBEL PRIZE!

Give this man the Heisman, or he will run you down in the trainer's cart most fiercely.

I saw a small clip of that on the local news on Saturday, but this full video is so much better. Having Oski appear out of nowhere at the end tops it off perfectly.

Oh, and a one-post threadjack? That’s just dandy.

I was horrified at the ugliness of the person being passed around until the camera got some distance and it was revealed to be the mascot. But, wow, that was awesome. I was totally waiting for bodies to go flying up in the air, Grand Theft style.

if only this had been after the overtime defeat of a good team. way to celebrate doing something less well than you should have.

That’s not a threadjack. It’s pointing to Bammer greatness and I’m sure Orson missed it during his trip to South Bend – where the tailgating is tame and the stadium is tamer.

A thread jack would be mentioning the greatest John Madden quote evAr….. “When I think of Mike Shula, I think of 13 points.”

I have problems. I can’t watch that video without hearing the “star power up” music in the background.

It may be the best celebration of all time save Tom Brady’s “Everyone Sucks But Me” segway banner

After our big LB made an interception in OT to end it, he decided to try to run it back the other way (cue coach pulling out his remaining hair). After getting caught at around the opposite 30, he lay gassed on the field. Marshawn’s intention was to drive the trainer’s cart out to pick him up, which would have been classic. Since Mashawn couldn’t get to the player, he just had some fun. Not a very good idea, but as you can see it was spontanious and pretty funny.

The problem is, you can’t really ghostride a cart that doesn’t have an automatic transmission with a torque converter. For Big Game, Marshawn needs to scoop a real Oakland-style Ford Falcon and rep the Yay Area properly.

Given that the combination of heatstroke (85 degrees! In Berkeley! In OCTOBER!) and heart attack (Cal AND Vandy fail to cover on the same day?) almost did me in, it would be inappropriate to suggest that this clip is dying for the Benny Hill theme…

Jon, we’re waiting for someone to put little MarioKart icons in—that would be the greatest video ever.

Actually my favorite part might be that the best those 2400 SAT scoring, pocket-protecting wearing fans can come up with is the extremely High Schoolish:

“You tell the whole damn world, ‘this is bear terrority’, you know it! What? You tell the story! What?” (repeat ad-nauseum)

how about we set up an inbred themed page for all the bama & auburn stories. This way they’ll be preoccupied humping amongst themselves instead of threadshitting everywhere else.

“azure sky of an early Seattle tee time”

lemme tell you sumpin bout october in seattle, dere aint no blue in that sky.

that, sir, is an oxymoron.

Man, you can’t drive like that on Banshee Boardwalk. Otherwise, it becomes “I’m Marshawn, I’m-a gonna swim!”

If Marshawn’s going to make a habit of that, they can’t stop at getting the Ford Falcon, they need to get a whistle tip on that thing:

Come to think of it, are there any NCAA rules that explicitly prohibit the use of motorized vehicles in the field of play? Think of the possibilities, MAAAAAN!!

marshawn is kinda slow on the kart. kinda like koopa. backup RB justin forsett would be your stud, like Yoshi.

Segway could make a special version to help support the bellies of Mangino, Fulmer, etc. so they can get down the sideline faster to yell at the refs.

How could I forget…the only other thing missing here is the Stanford band for him to plow through. After all, they’re not too busy these days.

I was just pissed in the conversion to 64 from Super Nintendo they left out Koopa Troopa. There was always a fight when someone would get Koopa first.

Koopa Troopa and Toad were money on that game. They could not be stopped.

Seeing the Sportscenter Clip of Lynch driving that cart around was the only high point of my Saturday night after Clemson treated Tech like a drunken prom date for 4 quarters.

DC Trojan,

God Bless you for bringing back Bub Rub. Woooo-wooooo! Notice there’s not even an attempt at a rolling stop near the end of the video.

I remember using his line “you supposed to be up cooking breakfast for someone” on my girlfriend once. Her kneecap is still lodged in my scrotum.

Li’l Sis wouldn’t do me like that. Woooo-wooooo!

by SeaTrojan on Oct 23, 2006 7:49 PM EDT reply actions  

O God, the whistle tips and the majesty of Bubb Rubb….My last office was on Bubb Road. Always good for a “Woo WOOO!” joke on a Monday morning. I expect Mssr. Rubb has probably walked in front of a BART train by now, the way the Raiders’ season has gone…

It’s all fun and games until someone gets run over and dies.

With that said, that was one of the more amusing pieces of post game jackassery that I’ve seen in my life. Especially when you consider the fact that noone expected him to do it, and the other fact that he can’t drive for shit, and due to the latter, people were forced to dive out of the way or be run over…

SeaTrojan, you are welcome — and as I demonstrated on another thread by not grasping that Corinthians was a reference to the Good Book, I need all the help I can get.

Wooo-woooooooooooooo!
