Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

BOWL SPONSOR OF THE DAY: ROADY'S

Oh, you latte-swilling blue-staters. Laugh if you will, but you don't own a company with enough coin to sponsor a bowl game, do you, you iPhone-twirling fuckwit. Your internet start-up, your sex-toys-for-pets company, your lame diner specializing in Albanian burritos. It all sucks compared to Roady's, because none of them sponsor a bowl game, much less a bowl game on blue turf, even if they're a chain of truck stops with the Q rating of a livestock feed brand.

Truckers need the basics, too. They're the lonesome cowpokes of the black earth-ribbon hustling your flatscreen tvs and O'Jumbos Workout Bars for Slightly Paunchy Active Types all over this great nation of ours, and what do they get in return? Slightly discounted methamphetamine, lame audioporn on tape, and the occasional handjob from a truckstop hooker...or precisely the HR benefits of an Idaho Vandals assistant coach, in other words.

Truckers also face dangers you would stain your pants over: inclement weather, traffic hazards, and the supernatural, as documented below.

Red Sovine was not lying, people. Mock the Roady's Humanitarian bowl if you must, but between Large Marge and the spectre of Phantom 309, the ghostly roadways of our nation need safe havens full of coffee, reasonably priced gasoline, and high-grade audioporn for our hard-working truckers more than ever. If only just to keep your precious Trader Joe's stocked with the tasty slow death of their frozen eggrolls, yuppie scum.

So insults like this are what we get for letting you off the hook on the resets on all your subprime loans? That’s it, ten more years of the BCS…

I thought a “roady” was short for “road soda” – a beer consumed whilst on a road trip.

Wake me when Iowa-80 sponsors a bowl game. Fuck that Flying J bullshit.

“lame audioporn on tape”

Where the hell can I get audioporn? Is it simply secret late-night recordings of the Weis bedroom?

“the occasional handjob from a truckstop hooker”

Orson, the “truckstop hooker” as you so callously refer these lovely ladies, are more commonly known as “Lot Lizards.” So I’m told…

Flying J is aight, but I’ll take Rip Griffin’s Travel Centers, he’s a good man, Rip. That or that Bucky Beaver place in West Texas that they start advertising for in Mississippi. I know I’m not the only one.

#9: Yup, Mrs. Weis describes it as when Charlie “goes commando.”

Cue horrible, awkward silence of game announcers

On the subject of bowls, has anyone been keeping up with the worthless but appropriate space filler that is the SI.com hypothetical Ultimate Playoff? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/football/ncaa/12/10/ultimateplayoff.finalfour/index.html

Not to ruin it for anyone, but currently the votes are going Oklahoma over Ohio State, and USC over Tim Tebow (and there’s a few other guys composing the Gator team, I guess). So the ultimate SI playoff MNC matchup is going to be between USC and Oklahoma? What happened to all the SEC/Big 10 voters on that one?

by Kate on Dec 10, 2007 5:59 PM EST reply actions  

Just on the Tennessee side of the border with Alabama on I-65 lies The Booby Bungalow. It’s only the most famous truck stop/ diner/ strip club in the history of the world.

At least that’s what I’ve heard.

I think the Flying J Bowl would have to happen at a HS stadium in Youngstown, OH.
Speaking of which, has there ever been a bowl game in the Meadowlands? Chillier than Jax, for sure, but more other stuff to do in the area.

I thought “Truck Stop Hookers” were called “seat covers”?, no? or a cool name of a punk band?

At least we know what to expect as far as bathrooms go at the bowl game……Can you buy all that cool mobile stuff at the concession stand that you can get at truck stops, like 12v Tv’s/VCR combo’s, emergency flasher crank radios w/built in Weatherband?
And is it true that the best serial killers are truckers?

LSUJoshua @ 11 – you’re referring to Buc-ees, the travel center with a f*ck lion. The beaver on the sign is there for a reason – the guy that owns the company? His name is Beaver, I am not even remotely joking. How’s that for Q rating?

As soon as we get out of Iraq, the Armed Forces will dump the FW Bowl like a bad habit. Hopefully Carl’s Corner (endorsed by Willie Nelson) will take over sponsorship.

#15. After years of travel on 1-40 and 65, I think some enterprising person could put together a whole travel guide consisting of nothing but sketchy adult-oriented highway side “attractions” in TN.

T continue that sentiment — A travelogue of Fire Works and adult novelty stores in South Carolina would be equally useful.

In Georgia they have the Cafe Erotica anyone ever been?

#21, Love’s does have the only brand of beef jerky that I would ever eat. Not that that’s saying much, I guess, but the stuff is strangely addicitve. Expensive, though.

Pete Jayhawk (#6):

You’re totally right about the need for an Iowa-80 Truck Stop sponsored bowl. Porn and hookers aside, this place has 24-hour dentists, a jewelry store, and a Truckers’ Movie Theater. And what better way to ensure that Kirk Ferentz gets a bowl invite?

by DonkeyDawg on Dec 10, 2007 8:47 PM EST reply actions  

Is it ironic that the Humanitarian Bowl is sponsored by the direct support staff for the exclusive American transporters of sweatshop made apparel?

I could use a roady on the way home most every night.

If there was a Flying J Bowl, would the teams get $5000 less compared to other bowl games? Or, would the tickets cost $5 less compared to other bowl games?

I always tell people headed to Nashville on northbound 65 to look for the 25 ft tall concrete rooster located in the parking lot of the Booby Bungalow.

In the interest of full disclosure, I actually say…“Ya’ll look out for that big ass cock on your right side.”

What is really interesting is that the little town of Ardmore, AL (just south of tha’ Bungalow) is one of the few places where a sheriff is charged with enforcement in two states. The Tenn/AL line is a train track that runs right through the middle of town.

Also, the Booby Bungalow is a great place to get stabbed. At least thats what I have been told.

This is the song I immediately thought of when I saw the truck stop and hooker posts. It should be track 34 if you need to pick it.
