Your Friday Hoodoo Thread | Boomer Sooner Edition

Folks, we're not out of the woods yet. It may seem like the Football Gods have lined up everything in our favor, but they work in mysterious ways, are notoriously cruel, and we're actively jinxing ourselves today (thanks kleph). So to give thanks for an Iron Bowl victory, we have more Nickelback:

And to ask for their favor this weekend while we sit idle, we offer our embarrassing admissions in the comments below. Also, Laura Vandervoort...

As long as LSU wins tomorrow, I don’t really care what happens in Oklahoma.

I cried watching the Walking Dead last week.

But I’m guessing that anyone else that’s been watching it might’ve felt the same.

…anyone?

The last time I cheered for *uburn and Oklahoma

was in 2004.

I didn’t exactly cheer for Auburn, but I did go to a game there and wore orange.

It was for a girl. She was gorgeous. Perfect complexion, blond hair, blue eyes. Rich as shit. And from Oklahoma and a huge Sooner. She drove a Rover. I drove a beat up Chevy truck. She had satellite radio. I had a portable cd player hooked up to my tape deck in my truck. Her family had a private jet. I had flown once to Montana for a ski trip.

I’d met her at some Beta party at Auburn, even though I went to Bama. The first girl I ever fell in love with. She broke my heart and it took a couple of years to get over honestly.

I have hated Oklahoma ever since. Tomorrow I will not hate Oklahoma. And may not ever again.

Jessica, I forgive you for being a bitch and never calling me back after months together. I forgive you for not putting out after the 17th Floor Concert we went to at Zydeco. I forgive you for being crazy and on all kinds of meds. Lastly, I forgive you for being so f’ing weird you had to go to * uburn instead of Oklahoma.

Rich girls are amazingly fun to fall in love with!

It’s the wearing orange part that gets me.

Ah crap!

I grew up going to Stanford games as a kid. (hated ‘em! my sister played/attended graduated from Stanford- scholarship field hockey player). My sisters’s great, it’s her friends and relations from Stanford that can’t seem to shut the heck up these days.

Worse, I have 2 other sisters who went to Cal (one graduated the other. . . . .did not!)

I can’t wait to see Stanford get stomped in whatever bowl game the go to. I like Stanfords women’s volleyball team though!

Talk tons of talk to that Stanford neighbor of yours. Topics like “football” and “powerhouse” will definitely not compute for that geek- lemme tell you.

I lived in Auburn and liked it. (the rest of this admission is rated PG-13)

Also, while living there, in the early 90’s when phone sex was still kind of a new rage, I got trashed on cheep beer, broke into my neighbor’s apartment when he was gone for break, and used his phone to call about a dozen different services. And if the police had needed some DNA … plenty on the carpet.

To cleverly disguise myself so I wouldn’t get caught, I made all the ladies call me Big Willie.

I swear I’m not that gross anymore. Mostly.

In the earliest cell phone days -- when they had the little car antennae --

— some of us discovered you could just take your basic cordless home phone, pull up in your driveway, make a call, drive away. Drive-through dialing. It also worked to cruise through a large apartment complex, hit Dial and see if you got someone else’s dial tone, then make calls on their bill.

It was entertaining. But we bow down to your DNA sacrifice, sir, since we never took it to your level…

My first job when I was in high school was at McDonalds.

A couple of times I served food off of the floor. Usually the crispy chicken because they had us grabbing it right out of the basket after taking it out of the fryer with our hands. That shit was so hot, and I would sometimes drop it. And it would take another 5+ minutes to cook another.

We would also have to take these NASTY ass buckets of grease from the burgers and whatnot and dump it in this large grease bin in the back. One time, I tried to dump it, and the lip of the bucket wasn’t all the way in the bin, and a shitload of nasty grease went all over my shirt and pants.

And twice (once at McDonalds, once at this job I had mowing lawns for the hostpital) I had to go home from work because I ripped the seat of my pants when bending over.

My 5 year old son

thinks he has to get a toy everytime we go anywhere that has toys. He’s my only child and was born when I was 36 years old. I’ve spoiled him rotten. But anyway, my sister bought him an African Safari type toy set a few Christmases ago. Included with that is a baby elephant about maybe 1″×2″. After he got his one day use out of playing with the set, the rest of it got thrown out, lost, or scattered in various places of his toy closet over the course of the next few months. I kept hold of the baby elephant and tossed it in with some of my collectables.

I got the notion for some reason to get it out and placed it on top of my t.v. table and kept it there as a lucky charm for the ’09 season. We moved last year and I lost the little elephant during the move. This explains the ’10 season.

I’m not sure of the time line, but on one of our trips to Toys R Us, I wanted to appease him, but was also looking to go cheap. They had a basket of authentic looking African animals made from rubber and one of them was an elephant. It’s about 100 times larger than the little elephant, but I said, “Hey, how about this one?!” I bought it. After serving it’s time as a bathtub toy for a few days, it retired as an ornament on my desk at home.

During the meantime, I had found the little elephant in the back of may truck. I put it inside the t.v. stand in his room earlier this year, just waving it off as silly superstition. Prior to the LSU game, I went into meltdown mode trying to conjur up all the mojo I could and could not find the little elephant. So I grabbed the big elephant off my desk and set it on the same t.v. table I had watched all of ’09’s games on. Well, we all know the results of this.

I located the little elephant shortly after the LSU game. And I’m sure to everyone’s relief, he has been standing in his rightful place ever since.

My first post... might as well make it here

In the mid 1990’s while in college I had a pretty serious bout with the flu. After a few days of misery I felt good enough to drive up to Blockbuster and rent a video game. I surveyed the store, and notice a few titles on a bottom shelf that seemed interesting.
I crouched down and suddenly felt a large fart que up at the back door. Me, being a master of the SBD, tried to eloquently let loose a one cheek sneak since the nearest person was a couple of ailses over. Everything started great, but, after a couple of seconds there was an audible “SQUISH” (much to my horror). Yes… I had just joined the shart fraternity.
I stood up, and quickly did the march of shame back to my car. Although the offending bodily function did not soil the cotton of my underwear, it was enough to make me hover well off of the seat on the drive home.
I since have reqained my SBD certification, but, the shame lingers on.

Just heard on WJOX...

That when the Coaches Poll comes out around noon, if we are still 100 points ahead ok Okie Lite, it is essentially finished, and we’re NC bound. (we’re 174 ahead now, I think he said)

So my weekend just got considerably better…

That being said… I have seen my smoking hot mother-in-law nekkid like 12 or 13 times. I think she does it on purpose. But I never turn my head, and hope to again.

That should be enough…

This one's not too bad but here you go...

I cried through just about the entire finale of “Lost.” By the time it got to the end, my crying turned to hysterical sobs. In my defense, my husband had just left to go back to Iraq from his 2 week R&R that morning so I guess my emotions were all over the place.

But I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the episode again for several weeks. When I did, the same thing happened.

I still miss that damn show…

I didn't

like or watch football until Fall of 2009. I started out saying I was a UGA fan because my brother went there and I live about an hour away but I never really got into football until I watched Alabama play. The turning point of my fandom was being in Athens when UGA was #1 preseason and Alabama came into Sanford Stadium and crushed their hopes an dreams. I was at a tailgate right outside the stadium and couldn’t afford a ticket. Several of my friends call me a bandwagon fan and I guess they have a point, but my Dad is from Montgomery and has been a Bama fan all his/ my life. Roll Tide. I’m a new man.
