APPY STATE: NEVER SWIM WITHOUT TERRIFYING MASCOT
Appalachian State rolls into LSU this weekend, which features actual football, REAL GODDAMN FOOTBALL GODDAMN FOOTBALLL STOP STANDING BETWEEN US AND FOOTBALLLLLLLL DAMN YOU!!!
Ahem. Saturday features, among many other games featuring real football, Appalachian State at LSU. Considering what happened last year at the Big House, just imagine the possibilities! Which include App State losing to LSU, the only thing that can and will happen despite ESPN frontloading their Saturday lineup with a 5:00 p.m slot for the game and much string-backed previewing.
BUT BUT BUT they’re going to die out there. Not by embarrassing margins, but by substantial margins nonetheless–24 points, according to Doc Sports, who for some reason has LSU listed as Clemson, which must be a cunning ruse by Les Miles in an attempt to give ASU some hope in the form of a Bowden Fumblegame early in the season.
What they won’t do, though? They won’t drown, because Appalachian State gets water safety like champions do.
Coco Hillary deserves an Emmy for his performance in this video, though a special Emmy for special effects should be given to Armanti Edwards’ accent. That thing is mindbending.

Doc Sports also thinks Jacksonville State is in Florida. I guess they didn’t watch the news about RP and have never heard of proofreading.

Fuckin’ A alcohol and water don’t mix. I’m not a sorority girl; I take my Scotch straight, thank you very much.

“Alcohol and water don’t mix” — Blake Elder
That’s just not accurate. Bourbon and Branch is just one example, Blake. Also, a little H2O in scotch pulls out the flavor so you can experience the complexities of different labels. And we haven’t even talked about ouzo or absinthe – consider tonic water, Blake! Have you ever drank straight gin? Of course not. It’s awful. A little water helps us to properly enjoy hosts of adult beverages.
What are they teaching the kids up there in Boone?

Hello my name is Armanti Edwards, I come from a rough area, I used to be addicted to crack but now I am off it and trying to stay clean, that is why I am selling magazine subscriptions.

I appreciate Blake Elder swaying as nervously as if this PSA is about to make or break his shot at future sports endorsements.

Orson, I know east Tennessee is historically less diverse than the rest of the SE, but I didn’t notice anything particularly noteworthy about the Armanti Edwards accent.

How could they do this without Cedric Benson? He’s an expert on water safety.

Funny thing, there’s not a creek deep enough in Boone to drown in.
FYI, mixed drinks finally passed last week in Boone too.
