Monday, October 23, 2023 – My Very Few Monday After Saturday College Football Awards

Just when you thought it was safe to move to a movie streaming channel, college football sent a few glimmers of hope.

But first, let me update you on Taylor Swift and Jason Kelce because I know you find it as interesting as I do. Miss Swift was seen in the Kansas City Chiefs box doing high fives with the NFL wives.

Moving on –

Let’s start with my favorite blabber mouth, Gary Danielson from CBS. I award Mr. Danielson the Beetlejuice Award. If you say three times that the Tennessee receiver juggled the ball, it will not become a touchdown. Nevertheless, it was a touchdown.

I also award Mr. Danielson the Program Program Get Your Program Award in order to know the players names. The Tennessee player’s name is Kamal Hadden. Not once, but twice, you referred to him as Kamala Harris. She is the Vice President of the United States. While I am sure there is “other duties as assigned” in her job description, playing football for Tennessee is not one of them.

To the Alabama football team I award you The Half-Time Come Back Award. What is in that Alabama Go Go Juice you drink at half-time? I need help with the cigar tradition. J. H.? Do you know? Alabama 34 UT20

Also receiving the Come Back Award is Oklahoma University. OU 31 UCF 29.

To the referees calling THE University of Texas and The University of Houston I award you the Brown Fecal Spot Award for providing the worst ever spot of the football for U of H. It is my understanding that the ball is placed where the runner is stopped and not where the runner is pushed back. This looks like the old Darryl K. Royal “make sure Texas wins” referee bribe. You must go way back for that. TU 31 and UH 24.

Sadly, I must award the Texas QB Another One Bites the Dust and move him to the Year of the Injured Quarterback. Seriously, I hope it is not serious. But do not put in The Arch.

I am awarding Tortilla Tech the Welcome Wagon Award. Once again the Throwers of Tortillas were the showers of good sportsmanship when a TT player was ejected for spitting on a BYU player. This was the first time since 1940 TT and BYU met. What a welcome. Please do not spit on the Mormons. BYU 27 – Texas Tech. 14.

As stated at the beginning, there are not many awards. Next week will probably be even worse. Have a big, fancy wedding to attend on Saturday.

Let’s Go Astros! It is time to bring the bats or go home!

Alabama had not beat Tennessee for 6 or 7 years and Jim Goosetree( trainer for Bama) was a Tennessee alumni.
In 1961 Bama beat UT 34-7 and Goostree brought the cigars to the clubhouse /training room at Legion Field and pass them out to the players!!
It was mostly kept secret until a newspaper writer saw what was going on and it got into the newspaper!! Thus Tennessee decided to do same thing

I tried to answer this question yesterday but it did not post. The history of smoking cigars goes back to 1961. Jim Goostree was the Trainer for Bama. He was a UT alumni. Bama had not beaten Tennessee for 6 or 7/years. He brought the cigars into the filedhouse at Legoin Field and pass them out to players and coaches . This was kept quiet for a few years until a Birmingham News reporter got into the dressing room and took a picture of the players smoking the cigars .
After that Tennessee decided to do the same thing . That was how it all got started
