STREAKER VS. CAR. RESULT=CAR AS FLORIDA, OHIO STATE AS STREAKER.
In the department of ill-advised championship celebrations: a streaker crossing University Avenue forgot both his clothes and good sense during the championship festivities in Gainesville early Tuesday morning. The man ran into a car, hitting his head on the windshield and giving him “possibly life-threatening injuries.” (HT: Miguel.)
We hope he’s okay–even seriously injured fools are still seriously injured–but more than ever this reinforces the need for a manual for this kind of thing. Remember a few key elements of streaking: look both ways, stay away from the hot dog warmers if you’re coming down through the stands, and remember that dogs go after to points on the body: the throat, and the genitals. EDSBS officially recommends rolling over, covering your genitals, and turtling up to give the dog only the option of biting the more durable back of the neck should this happen.
However: if the unthinkable becomes the unendurable, give them your throat. They might lose interest due to the lack of screaming due to the crushed windpipe, and let you go. This will not happen with the other option.

Remember: if you streak, you may receive a visit from man’s best friend. This might beat walking head first into a car, though.

I love the note in the article talking about the police greasing the light poles. I would have loved to be there with a video camera watching drunken frat boys making futile attempts to shimmy up the pole for 10 minutes before figuring out what was going on.

The best part is the kid is actually from “Longwood”. You can’t make this stuff up.

That would explain why this time around no one was on top of the stop light poles. I had figured everyone saw that dude fall last time.
Soon, the UPD will become seasoned veterans of national championship celebrations.

I just introduced myself to President Machen in the hallways of the Capitol and started to make some kind of ’streaker’ joke. Glad I thought better of the idea… maybe I’m an adult after all.

There’s a Marv Albert joke somewhere in the second paragraph, but I honestly don’t have the energy.

What? No burning cars or riot police with tear gas?
It’s like Gainesville is filled with real sports fans or something, instead of the hooligans that pass for that in some parts of the country.

Though I reside in Venice, CA, I’m from Longwood, too.
And as my friends will tell you, I’m a dedicated streaker. So much so, that I streaked my Bulldog friend’s wedding the night of the Tennessee game…
And slipped while going at Harvin speed, and slapped right into a lawn chair.
Full contact streaking is no joke.

Ohio State is unimpressed with your celebration.
