Larry the Cable Guy to Guest Coach the Huskers

[NUpolo8]

I never thought there could be a worse idea than a B******. Until this.

[HUSKER 37]

You know if anybody actually read the article their opinion on the man might change a little.

 

Nope!

 

Larry (Dan) is still one of my Favourite Comedians and I still think Rush Limbaugh is a closet Liberal.

Why do other teams get cool celebrity fans, like Matthew McConaughey (Texas) or Will Ferrell (USC). We get Clarence Thomas, Larry the Cable Guy, and Rush ****ing Limbaugh.

 

What gives?

yeah your right, i mean who gives one damn about a gorram supreme court justice. I mean that's someone right there who hasn't done jack with his life, compared to celebrities.

Meh- I think it's awesome. First plays are always so boring. 22 dive- yawn. I'm not a huge fan of Larry's brand of comedy, but I think he's a nice guy who might call an awesome play. Reverse HB toss + pass on the first play of the game? Yes please. That would be hilarious.

 

I'm guessing with his love for Smashmouth Football..It might just be a Full Back up tha middle (31-trap?).

 

Or if he doesn't know the plays, I'd expect him to pull up the carpet and draw up an option play in the sand/tire shavings to get the crowd riled up.

 

For some reason, I'm reminded of something that was recorded before Larry or I were born.

 

"What it was, was Football" by Andy Griffith.

What It Was, Was Football

 

It was back last October, I believe it was. We was a-goin’ t’ hold

a tent service in this college town.

And we got thar about dinnertime on Saturday And different ones

of us thought we ought to get us a mouthful to eat before

that we set up the tent.

And so, we got down off of the truck and followed this little bunch of

people through this small little bitty patch of woods.

And we come up on a big sign, says “Get somethin’ to eat here!”

 

And I went up and got me two hot dogs and a big Orange drink.

And before I could take ary mouthful of that food this whole raft of

people come up around me

and got me to where I couldn’t eat nothin’ up like—

and I dropped my big Orange drink. I did!

 

Well friends, they commenced to move and they wasn’t so much

I could do except to move with ‘em.

Well, we commenced to go through all kinds of doors and gates

and I don’t know what all, and I looked up over one of ‘em

and it says “North Gate”, and we kept on a-goin’ through there,

and pretty soon we come up on a young boy.

And he says “Ticket, please…” And I says “Friend, I don’t have a ticket.

I don’t even know where it is that I’m a-goin’.” I did!

 

Well he says “Come out as quick as you can.”

And I says “I’ll do ‘er—I’ll turn around the first chance I get.”

Well, we kept on a-movin’ through there and pretty soon everyone

got where it was that they was a’goin’ because they parted

and I could see pretty good. I could!

 

And what I seen was this whole raft a people a-settin’ on these

two banks and a-lookin’ at one another acrosst this purty little

green cow pasture! Well, they was! And somebody had took

and drawed white lines all over it and drove posts in it and

I don’t know what all! And I looked down there and I seen

five or six convicts a-runnin’ up and down and a-blowin’ whistles!

They was!

 

And then I looked down there and I seen these pretty girls

a-wearin’ these little bitty short dresses and a-dancin’ around,

an’ so I set down and thought I’d see what it was that was

a-gonna happen. I did!

 

And about the time I got set down good, I looked down there

and I seen thirty or forty men come a-runnin’ out of one end

of a great big outhouse down there! They did!

An’ everybody where I was a-settin’ got up and hollered!

And about that time thirty or forty come a-runnin out of the

other end of that outhouse and the other bank full—

THEY got up and hollered!

An’ I asked this feller that was a-settin’ beside me, I says

“Friend, what is it that they’re a-hollerin’ for?”

Well he whopped me on the back and he says

“Buddy, have a drink!”

Well, I says “I believe I will have another big Orange.”

An’ I got it and set back down.

An’ when I got back down there again, I seen that them men

had got in two little bitty bunches down there.

They had—real close together--and they voted! They did!

 

They voted and elected one man apiece.

And them two men come out in the middle of that cow pasture

and shook hands like they hadn’t seen one another in a long time.

And then a convict come over to where they was a-standin’ an’ he

took out a quarter and they commenced to odd-man right there!

They did!

 

Well, after a while I seen what it was that they was a-odd-mannin’ for.

It was that both bunches-full of them men wanted this funny-lookin’

little punkin to play with! They did, and I know friends that they

couldn’t-a eat it ‘ cause they kicked it the whole evenin’

and it never busted!

 

But anyhow what I was a-tellin’ was that both bunches-full wanted

that thang and one bunch got it an’ it made the other bunch

just as mad as they could be and friends I seen that evenin’

the awfullest fight that I’d ever seen in my life!

I did! They would run at one another and kick one another

and throw one another down and stomp on one another

and grind their feet in one another and I don’t know what all!

And just as fast as one would get hurt they’d tote him off

and run another’n on!

 

Well, they done that as long as I set there but pretty soon

this boy that had said “Ticket please…” he come up to me and

he says “Friend, you’re gonna have to leave because it is that

you don’t have a ticket.” And I says “Well, alright…” an’ I got up

an’ left. An’ I don’t know, friends, until this day what it was that they

was a-doin’ down there, but I have studied about it, and I think it’s

some kindly of a contest where they see which bunch-full of them

men can take that punkin an’ run from one end of that cow pasture

to the other’n without either gettin’ knocked down—

‘er steppin’ in somethin’ !

The GitrDone guy isn't a coach, or a funny comic. I hope i never see him call a play for nebraska. But, rich people always get crap they don't deserve.... So goes life.

My bet is a run up the gut... Lucky for 15 yards!
