ON THE ROAD, FLOATING ALONG

Like Hurricane Mangino, we are on our way to the Sunshine State this afternoon, but for a wedding, and not to induce Matt Grothe into a four-quarter cycle of TD/INT for TD/TD/Fumble for INT. Yes, a fall wedding, which to be fair was scheduled on Florida's bye week and is in Gainesville. We're out for the rest of the afternoon, but there will be a full slate of programming for tomorrow, including Factor Five Five Factor previews of the Kansas/USF game and the Naked Sushi Buffet Picks for the weekend.

Someone tether that thing before someone gets hurt.

The Mangino looks like something out of a Monty Python episode. Terry Gilliam would be envious of LSUFreek.

Oh wow, we really have to get one of those made. Talk about good tailgate decor.

If you all will excuse the baseball reference, I see this match-up as like a hypothetical Rays-Cubs World Series. A long suffering Midwestern fan base against some nouveau riche Florida team with no history. Go Jayhawks/Cubs!

Mangino looks like he’s lost a little weight.

And fumble for INT sounds like something Chris Leak would’ve done in the 4th quarter of a close conference game on the road while trailing by 3.

Fall weddings are inexcusable. Maybe this year it is a bye week for your team, but the first anniversary weekend may not be. Or the second. Or the 5th, or 10th, etc. etc. etc.

Bad, bad form.

Came here to say what JTG said. Not only bad form, just plain stupid.

Here to complain: FORCED into a wedding that takes place in bfe Georgia the night of UF/UT!?!? – a Gator’s wedding, no less. Worst form ever! I hope it’s in that little chapel by Lake Alice.

Or 163 miles to Yeehaw Junction, I still have no idea what it is.

Maybe they can use the Buc’s pirate ship to shoot that thing down.

Much like Cheesecake Fridays, which was only good when the guy from Texas was piloting EDSBS…

there should be no more further discussion on fall weddings.

I hate them, you hate them, your grandmother hates them, EVERYBODY hates them.

We all agree.

How’s about when you specifically schedule a cross-country move during your team’s bye weekend… and then a stupid hurricane has to come and mess it up. How am I supposed to concentrate on supervising the packing of my precious valuables when there’s Longhorn ball being played?

Ike strikes again. Baylor/Wash St moved to Friday.

Anyone care?

I didn’t think so.

Texas Gal,
Looks like you’ve got this weekend free. I have several relatives from the wrong side of that border heading to Austin this week. Looks like they’ll have to settle for visiting family instead of football.

Swindle,
Bye weeks are not an excuse for a football season wedding. Its in the Bible.

Bunda Recommendation Dept:

Like most red-blooded males (and probably some females) we were deeply saddened to see the death of Bunda Fridays. When Swindle was given Sporting News cred, I expected EDSBS to change a bit, and it did. For ol’ time sakes…a recommendation:

1) Make the old Bunda posts easily accessible by some sort of easy to use link,

What happenned to Stranko Montana?

Back in the early 90s a friend of mine scheduled a fall wedding in Atlanta, but also made sure it fell on an off weekend. Of course, the Braves happened to be in the World Series that weekend, so everyone was watching the game anyway. That’s about all I remember from the wedding…I’ve long forgotten the bride’s name.

by baconboy on Sep 11, 2008 8:12 PM EDT reply actions  

It’s better than my buddy who let his wedding get scheduled on the weekend of UF/FSU a few years back. The worst part is that he’s supposedly a Florida “fan”. Fortunately, I took on the arduous task of hanging out in the reception hotel’s bar, and providing updates to various wedding guests.

O, which part of America’s wang will you be gracing with your presence?

On another note, Rutgers is getting knocked the fuck out tonight. Schiano better hurry up and parlay Ray Rice into a better job before his team goes completely in the tank and he ends up with a worse one.

My wedding was in Auburn the Saturday before the season started. Unless they expand the schedule again, I am safe from anniversary impaired football.

Conversely, one of our college buddies got married on OPENING SATURDAY last year. The result: We didn’t go, and his first choice for best man turned him down.

Oh, and I think this is LSU freak’s most clever work yet. The beauty of it is that you think it’s just a USF picture. While you’re scanning for Orson’s clever caption, the Mangino float appears. Genius!
