Check out the rack on that chick standing up and facing the wrong way about 4 rows back on the left side of the picture. Do I sense a theme today?

Adam—have you considered working as a sniper? With eyes like that, you should really get into a line of work that utilizes your natural gifts.

Mmmm, donuts.

Fucking brilliant.

Swindle, quit your day job and demand employment at one of the national media outlets.

Just don’t stop writing this blog you magnificent bastard!

Ragging on the opposing team’s water boy takes hate to a new level – bravo!

Or be a professional Where’s Waldo? Tournament Player. But I have to agree, I had to use 300% magnification to enjoy it.

I demand a cover version of the “Real Men of Genius” with “Tennessee Football Hydrayyyyytion Guy”.

Survivor’s probably free if you want to give them a call.

The truth is that on the opposite sideline, the Florida Hydration Squad took no prisoners when it came to out-scheming, out-hustling, and overall-domination of their competition, with respect to rehydration needs. They were levels above Tennessee, who seems to have fallen to a ‘Second Tier’ hydradion squad since their glory days of 1998.

Have to love college football..Everyone plays a role, even if it is just H2O and Dixie Cups!

ditto to Albino Tornado

see post #2 for post # 6 to make sense.

you’re right about rico. he was making every single tackle for UT. very impressive show by him.

We salute you, "Tennessee Football Hydrayyyyytion Guy"
You the one who makes sure the waters fresh, clear and free of debris. Even with Phil Fulmer washing his Krispy Kreme encrusted hands in it. When some cries out “Cramp!!” You are the first responder with a some high quality H20. And you are the protector of the water, skillfully moving the water coolers out of the way before Baby Hippo comes crashing thru and wipes out half the bench and the bottom 3 rows of spectators. And you help hold Ainge down when Phil Fulmer decides on dunking Ainges face into the subfreezing water for some answers and motivation on why he sucks so bad. Yes "Tennessee Football Hydrayyyyytion Guy" we salute you. Anheiser-Busch Brewing Co. St. Louis, Missouri
Dont let friends QB drunk.

The fucking sun didn’t creep down past the skyboxes and shade the student section until 6:30. Brutal. Glad I didn’t forget my towel…oh oh, oh oh oh!

Isn’t finding the hydration division the only aspect of Vol nation worthy of praise and pointing it out kind of insulting? I mean, its kind of like telling an ugly girl that she has a nice hairline.

I like the three Tennessee fans in the front row with their heads down, presumably searching for their team’s defense.

Biggus @ #15…Orson’s point exactly. I think. Even if it was written with actual praise in mind, well, it’s been fucked now, in lieu of your sentiment.

Random Water Squad Thoughts:

Urban will put UF’s water squad up against anyone in the nation.

The most invested water squad is the one that will win every time.

All it takes is four to six seconds of focused effort to hydrate like a champion.

We want to be known as the fastest water squad in the country.

i spent 5 minutes coming up with a miller lite song befitting this post….and then #13 goes and fucks me over.

back to work i guess.

I have to wonder about those circles. Are the cups placed too close together to go in and grab one from the side? What if you’re a receiver with gloves on? Looks like you have to pick it up from above, and then delicately twist your wrist or awkwardly shift to your other hand to place the cup in a drinking position, something that may be difficult to do after a strenuous play.

I believe equally spaced cups would be far more effective. I’m going to have to criticize the Tennessee water boy on his dedication to form over function here.

Thinking about this some more while waiting for the Internet to submit my comment, the water boy could avoid awkward cup-grabbing by leaving one cup missing from the circle. Take a look at the arrangement on the right pitcher in the picture above. One could easily insert a wrist into the set of cups and grab the next one in line. An added bonus is that this works great for both right- and left-handed players.

Again, in that picture, which arrangement would you choose to rehydrate from?

We salute you, Tennessee Football Hydration Guy…

You’re the one keeping leaves, cigarette butts, and opposing tacklers out of the water…
   {like Bobby Boucher…}
You keep the cups in perfect circles, to better match the YPC average…
   {They’re not glazed donuts}
No matter how brutal the heat, the defeat, or the view of the back and man-boob sweat on the coaches, you show true dedication to a lost art…
   {It’s water, not gravy!}
An art lost by most once they pass puberty.

{Here’s to you, mister Tennessee Football Hydrayyyyytion Guy}

They are hydrating from Gatorade cups. Oh the powerful irony.

Tennesse hydrates with water… Florida hydrates with Gatorade.

59-20 pretty much says it all

You’re just lucky no over-zealous Florida fan told the waterboy that water sucks and Gatorade tastes better – you might have seen the best tackler since Joe Montania.

Looks like her arms a little on the fat side to me.

#18, nobody beats Georgia’s hydration squad, with Head Water Girl Mrs. Richt. If you thought Richt was a good offensive game planner at FSU, you should have seen the hellish practices she put her hydrators through.

Georgia Water: The most dominant squad in the country, hands down.

Hey, being a waterboy/girl is not as easy as it looks! I’m a first year athletic training student intern, so my duties are mostly limited to pouring the Gatorade. It’s a little intimidating when coach yells “JUICE IN TEN MINUTES!!!”

Well, back in Bear Bryant days @ Junction, according to Gene Stallings, Bear didnt believe in water. No sir, football is war and your his prisoner of war. You need water? You get it from rain and what you can catch in your helmet, or what you could suck from your undershirt or out of your shoulder pads. Really thirsty? Can’t wait for it to rain? You get to drink sand. Sand? yes, sand….With all the nutrients of many sport drinks, sand has magnetite, clays, chlorite, glauconite, or gypsum and silica as an added bonus. The downside is that you shit glass.(Ouch) But it will make you meaner and stronger. Thats what Coach Stallings attributes his and Coach Bryants gravely voice to. If you were the “best player” of the day, you get to drink bourbon with your sand, and you got a bag of Golden Flake potato chips. I can see why these old school guys thinks that anyone with a Hydration Squad is a bunch of P*&****ys. The old belief was that your body would pass out, but you wouldnt die. Lots of people didnt know that Bear Bryant was senile at age 36, usually drunk from bourbon, asleep in the tower , with sand and chip crumbs in the crook of his mouth, with players in the hospital fartin’ dust before they passed out. Yep, I’ll probaly go to hell for this one.

Nice Out of conference, nice.

Mr. Pelican Pants that was awesome. The Bama fans are going to be after you now. What was the saying back in the old days, “You would not pour water onto a hot engine, why would you pour it into a hot boy?”

All hydration teams suck when they are compared to the quality of H2O that was prepared by Bobby Boucher for the South Central Louisiana State University Mud Dogs. They made a documentary about him.

The funny thing is… their waterboys could all transfer to one of those directional Louisiana schools and beat up on Tennessee in the Bourbon bowl this year :P

It seems that Bobby Boucher is playing for which ever team is playing Notre Dame. That must be some sort of NCAA violation since he is not sitting out one year.

I thought he had a gravely voice because he chain smoked chesterfields, which I believe may have been the other option to eating sand – smoking unfiltered cig’s in hopes of sucking in some humidity.

eric y: Sammie says you all can go to hell!
jay whitlow: And Sammie is usually right.
eric y and jay whitlow re: Sammie

Paul Bryant’s players hydrated by drinking the blood of the vanquished.
