UUUuuuuuupppppssss!

UUUuuuuupppssss! I guess I was Wrong-My B! Honestly, I thought this game was going to be a lot closer than it was. Evidently, Bama didn't care that there was a black-out, nor did they care that Georgia was the favorite, and they didn't pay much attention to the crowd-noise.

But as predicted, Georgia killed themselves with penalties ad nauseum. (See photo of Mark Richt hearing the explanation of one of the many penalties Georgia received.) And unfortunately, the press began to note that all of the black wardrobes and body paint, where nothing more than apropos dress for a funeral.

But there's good news: Florida lost today to Old Miss, so tickets to the event formally known as the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party won't be astronomical in price.

College Football Game of the Week! Georgia Hosts Alabama!

Although Georgia is ranked #3 in the nation and Alabama ranks #8, the Bushido thinks (sorry Georgia) Bama will win the game; that being stated, I expect the game to be close perhaps 3-points to a touchdown close but the decider will be the penalties-Saban’s Tide are one of the least penalized team in D-1 football and Georgia is one of top 3 penalized teams in D-1 football. Then again, I could be truly wrong and Georgia could use their “black-out” (Georgia fans are asked to wear black to the game) and long-time Bulldog announcer, Larry Munson (a friend of mine has a dog named after L-M) announced his retirement this week, (see photo) so there could be a little more at stake for Georgia tonight!

The 7-acre corn maze of Larry Munson is located at Southern Belle Farm in Henry County, south of Atlanta (Contact info: Southern Belle Farm, 1658 Turner Church Road, McDonough, GA Price: $12; $10 ages 5-9; ages 4-under are free Contact: 770-898-0999) Photo courtesy of the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Don't Worry Clemson, Rick Astley Still Loves You!

As you sat there and watched the same tired offensive schemes from last year being shut down by Bama, and scratched your head wondering, how did they know? Well, don't think they didn't watch film on you all. Next week Clemson faces the Citadel-and the Bushido will still be there. Now here's some Rick Astley w/pop-up video (oh that's too much) for you to lick your wounds.

Friday Funnies: The 24th Annual Flora-Bama Interstate Mullet Toss is this weekend!

All right, so this might not be that funny, but it does sound fun!

In the world of Kentucky Waterfalls and bad hair do’s (or don’t s) it seems that sometimes we forget that the word “mullet” is actually the name of a fish and not just any old fish, but the only fish with a gizzard. And I have never been one to mess with tradition or festivals, so I won’t even explore the idea of how someone decided 24 years ago that you could stand in a 10 foot circle on the beach in Alabama; throw a one-pound fish across the state-line into Florida and have this be a contest to raise money for local charities. Its 15 bucks to enter the Mullet Toss and you do get an official t-shirt for your participation and perhaps even a mullet plaque if you win. Each throw is measured by professional judges: click here for the photo (careful when clicking @ work or in front of young kids because these judges don’t have a dress code).

All right when two of our favorite FOBs from Georgia first mentioned they were going to this event, I thought they were joshing me. Then again, I guess I wasn’t thinking straight, because if your formula has bikinis, booze and a beach-all under the charity blanket-your event will be a success. After exhaustive research, (read: watching drunk people booze it up on the Florida-Alabama state line) I think that I have found the one video that seems to capture the zeitgeist of the Flora-Bama experience (see above) video posted by Zazoocat on You-Tube.

Or you can refer to this article from the Pensacola News Journal for a complete schedule of the events (i.e. bikini contest, beach volleyball, etc). For all of the friends of the Bushido headed to this shin-dig, y’all be careful and send me some pics! Cheers!
