< Ok.. this cold have been written by some of you!

<
< .
< < < Fan on Game Day
< < <
< < < This is pretty long, but it's HYSTERICAL! If you've ever been drunk at
a
< < < sporting event, or been with someone who has, you can relate. This is
an
< < < e-mail from some guy named J.D.Horne, who, according to the messages
< < that
< < < were attached to this, is not a 21 year-old frat boy, but an attorney
of
< < < indeterminate age. He sent it to his friend Brian Brice and it got
< < < forwarded around the country. You have to give the guy some props for
< < < being self-deprecating...but I hope I never meet him on game day.
< < <
< < < A chronology of events for Saturday, December 4, 1999, and the early
< < < morning hours of Sunday, December 5, 1999
< < <
< < < 6:00 Arise, play the Eyes of Texas and Texas Fight at full-freaking
< < blast
< < <
< < < 6:20 Get in car, drive to New Braunfels
< < <
< < < 7:30 Tee off (me and a buddy were the FIRST tee-time of the morning)
< < <
< < < 8:50 Turn 9 (crack open first beer)
< < <
< < < 8:53 Crack open second beer
< < <
< < < 8:58 Crack open...(you get the idea)
< < <
< < < 10:30 Finish 18 (holes, as well as beers), sign scorecard for
smoooooth
< < 95
< < <
< < < 10:35 Headed for San Antonio (Alamodome - Nebraska vs Texas)
< < <
< < < 10:50 Buy three 18-packs for pre- and post-game festivities
< < <
< < < 11:10 We decide we don't have enough booze, so we double-back to a
< < liquor
< < < store and buy the good ol' 750 ml plastic bottle "Traveler" Jim Beam
< < <
< < < 11:50 Arrive at the tailgate spot. Awesome day. Not a single cloud in
< < the
< < < sky. About 70 degree
< < <
< < < 11:55 I decide that we're going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
< < <
< < < 11:56 I tell my first Nebraska fan to go fuck himself.
< < <
< < < 12:15 The UT band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. We're on the
< < < second floor of a two-story parking garage on the corner (a couple
< < hundred
< < < of us). We're hooting and hollering like wildmen. The band doubles
back
< < to
< < < the street right below us and serenades us with Texas Fight and The
Eyes
< < < of Texas. AWESOME MOMENT
< < <
< < < 12:25 In the post-serenade serendipity, 50-100 grown men are bumping
< < < chests with one another, each and every one of them now secure and
< < certain
< < < of the fact that we are going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
< < <
< < < 1:00 The Nebraska band walks by on the way to the Alamodome. Again, we
< < < hoot and holler like wildmen. Again, the band doubles back and stops
< < right
< < < below us to serenade us, this time, however, with the Nebraska fight
< < < songs. Although somewhat impressed by their spirit and verve, we
remain
< < < convinced that we are going to kick the shit out of Nebraska.
< < <
< < < 1:30 I begin the walk to the Alamodome, somehow managing to stuff the
< < < "Traveler" and 11 cans of beer into my pants.
< < <
< < < 1:47 I am in line surrounded by Nebraska fans. They are taunting me. I
< < am
< < < taunting back, still certain that we are going to kick the shit out of
< < < Nebraska. I decide to challenge a particularly vocal Nebraska fan to
< < play
< < < what I now call and will forever be remembered as Cell-Phone Flop
Out."
< < < Remember flop out for a dollar? The rules are similar. I tell this
< < < Nebraska jackass that if he's so confident in his team, he should
"flop
< < < out" his cell phone RIGHT NOW and make plane reservations to Phoenix
for
< < < the Fiesta Bowl. And then I spoke these memorable words: "And not
those
< < < damn refundable tickets, either! You request those non-refundable,
< < < non-transferrable sons-of-bitches!" He backs down. He is unworthy. I
< < call
< < < Southwest Airlines and buy two tickets to Phoenix, non-refundable and
< < < non-transferrable. Price: $712. He is humbled. He lowers his head in
< < < shame. I raise my cell phone in triumph to the cheers of hundreds of
< < Texas
< < < fans. I am KING and these are my subjects. I distribute the 11 beers
in
< < my
< < < pants to the cheering masses. I RULE the pre-game kingdom.
< < <
< < < 2:34 Kickoff. Brimming with confidence, I open the Traveler and pour
my
< < < first stiffy.
< < <
< < < 2:45 I notice something troubling: Nebraska is big. Nebraska is
< < < fast.Nebraska is very pissed off at Texas.
< < <
< < < 3:01 The first quarter mercifully ends. 9 yards total offense for
< < < Texas.Zero first downs for Texas. I'm still talking shit. I pour
another
< < < stiffy from the Traveler.
< < <
< < < 3:36 Four minutes to go in the first half: the Traveler is a dead
< < soldier.
< < < I buy my first $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. While I am
standing
< < < in line, a center snap nearly decapitates Major Applewhite and rolls
out
< < < of the end zone. Safety.
< < <
< < < 3:56 Halftime score: Nebraska 15, Texas 0. I wish I had another
< < Traveler.
< < <
< < < 4:11 While urinating next to a Nebraska fan in the bathroom at
halftime,
< < I
< < < attempt to revive the classic Briceism from the South Bend bathroom:
< < "Hey,
< < < buddy, niiiiiiiiice cock." He is unamused.
< < <
< < < 4:21 I buy my 2nd and 3rd $5 beer from the Alamodome merchants. I
share
< < my
< < < beer with two high school girls sitting behind me. Surprisingly, they
< < are
< < < equipped with a flask full of vodka. I send them off to purchase
< < Sprites,
< < < so that we may consume their vodka. I have not lost faith. Nebraska is
a
< < < bunch of pussies.
< < <
< < < 4:51 No more vodka. The girls sitting behind me have fled for their
< < lives.
< < < I purchase two more $5 beers from the Alamodome merchants.
< < <
< < < 5:18 Score is Nebraska 22, Texas 0. I am beginning to lose faith.This
< < < normally would trouble me, but I am too drunk to see the football
field.
< < <
< < < 5:27 I call Southwest Airlines: "I'm sorry, sir. Those tickets have
been
< < < confirmed and are non-refundable and non-transferrable."
< < <
< < < 5:37 I try to start a fight with every person behind the concession
< < < counter. As it turns out, the Alamodome has a policy that no beer can
be
< < < sold when there is less than 10 minutes on the game clock. I am
enraged
< < by
< < < this policy. I ask loudly: "Why the fuck didn't you announce last call
< < < over the fucking PA system??!!"
< < <
< < < 5:49 Back in my seats, I am slumped in my chair in defeat. All of a
< < < sudden, the Texas crowd goes absolutely nuts. "Whazzis?," I mutter,
< < < awaking from my coma, "Iz we winnig? Did wez scort?" Alas, the answer
is
< < < no, we were not winning and we did not score. The largest (by far)
cheer
< < < of the day from the Texas faithful occurred when the handlers were
< < walking
< < < back to the tunnel and Bevo (the Texas mascot) stopped to take a
< < < gargantuan shit all over the letters "S", "K",and "A" in the
"Nebraska"
< < < spelled out in their end zone. I cheer wildly. I pick up he empty
< < Traveler
< < < bottle and stick my tongue in it. I am thirsty.
< < <
< < < 6:16 Nebraska fans are going berserk as I walk back to the truck. I
< < would
< < < taunt them with some off-color remarks about their parentage, but I am
< < too
< < < drunk to form complete sentences. With my last cognitive thought of
the
< < < evening, I take solace in the fact that if we had not beaten them in
< < < October, they would be playing Florida State for the national
< < < championship.
< < <
< < < 6:30 Back in the car. On the way back to Austin for the basketball
game.
< < <
< < < 8:00 Texas-Arizona tip off. We can still salvage the day! I crack open
a
< < < beer. It is warm. I don't care.
< < <
< < < 7:12 We have stopped for gas. I am hungry. I go inside the store.I
walk
< < < past the beer frig. I notice a Zima. I've never had a Zima. I wonder
if
< < < it's any good. I pull a Zima from the frig. I twist the top off and
< < drink
< < < the Zima in three swallows. Zima sucks. I replace the empty bottle in
< < the
< < < frig.
< < <
< < < 7:17 There is a Blimpie Subs in the store. I walk to where the
< < ingredients
< < < are, where the person usually makes the sub. There is no one there. I
< < lean
< < < over the counter and scoop out half a bucket of black olives. I eat
< < them.
< < < I am still hungry. I lean further over the counter and grab
< < approximately
< < < two pounds of Pastrami. I walk out of the store grunting and eating
< < < Pastrami. The patrons in the store fear me. I don't care.
< < <
< < < 8:01 We are in South Austin. I have been drinking warm beer and
singing
< < < Brooks and Dunn tunes for over an hour. My truck-mate is tired of my
< < < singing. He suggests that perhaps Brooks and Dunn have written other
< < good
< < < songs besides "You're Going to Miss Me When I'm Gone" and "Neon Moon"
< < and
< < < that maybe listening to only those two songs, ten times each was a bit
< < < excessive. Perhaps, he suggests, Icould just let the CD play on its
own.
< < I
< < < tell him to fuck off and restart "Neon Moon."
< < <
< < < 8:30 We arrive at the Erwin Center. My truckmate, against my loud and
< < < profane protestations, parks on the top floor of a nearby parking
< < garage.
< < < I tell him he's an idiot. I tell him we will never get out. I tell him
< < we
< < < may as well pitch a fucking tent here. He ignores me. I think he's
still
< < < pissed about the Brooks and Dunn tunes. I whistle "Neon Moon" loudly.
< < <
< < < 8:47 I am rallying. I have 4 warm beers stuffed in my pants. We're
going
< < < to kick the shit out of Arizona.
< < <
< < < 9:11 Halftime score: Texas 31, Arizona 29. I am pleased. I go to the
< < < bathroom to pee for the 67th time today. I giggle to myself because of
< < the
< < < new opportunity to do "the bathroom Brice." There are no Arizona fans
in
< < < the bathroom. I am disappointed. I tell myself (out loud) that I have
a
< < < "Niiiiiice cock." No one is amused but me.
< < <
< < < 9:41 I walk to the bathroom while drinking Bud Light out of a
< < can.Needless
< < < to say, they do not sell beer at the Erwin Center,much less Bud Light
< < out
< < < of a can. I am stopped by an usher: "Where did you get that, sir?" I
< < tell
< < < him (no shit): "Oh, the cheerleaders were throwing them up with those
< < < little plastic footballs. Would you mind throwing this away
< < < for me?" I take the last swig and hand it to him. He is confused. I
< < < pretend I'm going to the bathroom, but I run away giggling instead. I
< < duck
< < < into some entrance to avoid the usher, who is now pursuing me. I sneak
< < < into a large group of people and sit down. The usher walks by
< < harmlessly.
< < < I am giggling like a little girl. I crack open another can of Bud
Light.
< < <
< < < 9:52 I am lost. In my haste to avoid the usher, I have lost my
< < bearings.I
< < < have no ticket stub. I cannot find my seats. Texas is losing.
< < <
< < < 10:09 Texas is being screwed by the refs. I am enraged. I have cleared
< < out
< < < the seats around me because I keep removing my hat and beating the
< < < surrounding chairs with it. A concerned fan asks if I'm OK and perhaps
I
< < < shouldn't take it so seriously. I tell him to fuck off.
< < <
< < < 10:15 After the fourth consecutive "worst fucking call I have EVER
< < seen,"
< < < I attempt to remove my hat again to begin beating inanimate objects.
< < < However, on this occasion I miscalculate and I thumbnail myself in my
< < left
< < < eyelid, leaving a one-quarter inch gash over my eye. I am now bleeding
< < < into my left eye and all over my shirt. "Perhaps," I think to myself,
< < I'm
< < < taking this a bit seriously."
< < <
< < < 10:22 I am standing in the bathroom peeing. I'm so drunk I am swaying
< < and
< < < grunting. I have a bloody napkin pressed on my left eye. My pants are
< < < bloody. I have my (formerly) white shirt wrapped around my waist. I
look
< < < like I should be in an episode of Cops.
< < <
< < < 10:43 Texas has lost. I put my bloody white shirt back on my body and
< < make
< < < my way for the exits. I am stopped every 20 seconds by a good
< < < samaritan/cop/security guard to ask me why I am covered in blood, but
I
< < < merely grunt incoherently and keep moving.
< < <
< < < 10:59 With my one good eye, I have located the parking garage. I walk
up
< < < six flights of stairs, promise that when I see my friend I will punch
< < him
< < < in the face for making me walk up six flights of stairs, find the
truck,
< < < and collapse in a heap in the bed of the truck. I look around and
notice
< < < that traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole
< < flights,
< < < and no one is moving. I take a nap.
< < <
< < < 11:17 I awake from my nap. I see my friend in the driver's seat. I
lift
< < my
< < < head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that traffic is lined
< < up
< < < all the way around the garage, six whole flights, and no one is
moving.
< < I
< < < am too tired to unch my friend. I call my friend a "Stupid
cocksucker."
< < <
< < < 11:31 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
< < < traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
< < and
< < < no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
< < <
< < < 11:38 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
< < < traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
< < and
< < < no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
< < <
< < < 11:47 I lift my head to look out the bed of the truck and notice that
< < < traffic is lined up all the way around the garage, six whole flights,
< < and
< < < no one is moving. I call my friend a "Stupid cocksucker."
< < <
< < < 11:58 I am jostled. The truck is moving. I lift my head to look out
the
< < < bed of the truck and notice that traffic is beginning to move on the
< < < second floor. I jump out of the truck, walk to the edge of the parking
< < < facility, and pee off the sixth floor onto the street below. My friend
< < < looks at me like I just anally violated his minor sister. I turn
< < around
< < < pee on the front of his truck while singing the lyrics to "Neon Moon."
< < <
< < < 12:11 We are moving. We are out of beer. I jump from the truck and go
< < from
< < < vehicle to vehicle until someone gives me two beers. I am happy.I
return
< < < to my vehicle.
< < <
< < < 12:26 We have emerged from the parking facility. We make our way to my
< < < apartment and find Ed sitting on the couch with a freshly opened
bottle
< < of
< < < Glenlivet on the coffee table in front of him. We are all going to die
< < < tonight.
< < <
< < < 12:59 We have finished three-quarters of the bottle of Glenlivet. We
< < < decide it would be a wonderful idea to go dancing at PollyEsther's. Ed
< < has
< < < to pee. He walks down the hall to our apartment and directly into the
< < full
< < < length mirror at the end of the hall,smashing it into hundreds of
< < pieces.
< < < We giggle uncontrollably and leave for PollyEsther's.
< < <
< < < 1:17 The PollyEsther's doorman laughs uncontrollably at our efforts to
< < < enter his club. "Fellas," he says in between his fits of spastic
< < < laughter,"I've been working this door for almost a year. I've been
< < working
< < < doors in this town for almost 5 years. And I can honestly say that I
< < ain't
< < < never seen three drunker mother fuckers than you three.Sorry, can't
let
< < < you in." We attempt to reason with him. He laughs harder.
< < <
< < < 1:44 We find a bar that lets us in. We take two steps in the door and
< < hear
< < < "Last call for alcohol!" I turn to the group and mutter: "See, dat
< < wasn't
< < < that fuckin' hard. Day don't fuckin' do that at the
< < < Awamo...the<<awaom...the alab...fuck it, that stadium we was at
< < today..."
< < < We order 6shots of tequila and three beers.
< < <
< < < 2:15 Back on the street. We need food. We hail cab to take us the two
< < and
< < < one half blocks to Denny's. The cab fare is $1.60. We give him $10 and
< < < tell him to keep it.
< < <
< < < 2:17 There is a 20 minute wait. We give the hostess $50. We are seated
< < < immediately.
< < <
< < < 2:25 We order two orders of fried pickles, a Cobb salad, a bowl of
soup,
< < < two orders of Blueberry blintzes, two Reuben sandwiches, a hamburger,
< < two
< < < cheese stuffed potatoes, an order of fries, and an order of onion
rings.
< < <
< < < 2:39 The food arrives. We are all asleep with our heads onthe table.
The
< < < waiter wakes us up. We eat every fucking bit of our food. Most of the
< < < restaurant patrons around us are disgusted. We on't give a fuck. The
tab
< < < is $112 with tip.
< < <
< < < 2:46 I'm sleepy.
< < <
< < < 9:12 I wake up next to a strange woman. She is a waitress at Denny's.
< < She
< < < is not pretty. HOOK 'EM HORNS, BABY!!!
