I try not to talk about my personal life here on Mac G's World but when of my boys makes the pages of the USA today, it is time to give him an official shout out. Joe Andreasen has the rough job of working for the ESPN gameday crew and getting to travel to all these college towns, aka, POON Meccas!
When he is not blasting me with text messages about how "the SEC is the best" or "Joe Torre has ruined the Yankees," he does seem to work his A$$ for Corso, Fowler, Herbstreet and company. I am jealous of his ability to be close to the best poon water fountains in America.
He recaps his experiences in a weekly email and I should start posting them on here. They are pretty classic and hilarious. Here a snippet from last week's trip to Baton Rouge.
Also, don't stand in one place. Louisianna has these pests called fire ants. Holy Sh%&!! However, LSU does bring it when it comes to tailgating. These guys have 4 foot gators on the grill. And I can't think of a more beautiful sight than women's keg stand tournaments!
Maybe 4 hot chicks wearing purple and gold sundresses with purple and gold high heels walking down the street each with a case of beer! They tore up Baton Rouge Saturday night after that thriller. Freakin Crazyyyyyy!!!!!!! The biggest surprise? That the town did not run out of alcohol.
Some gameday signs that come to mind....Tebow wears Jorts......Dont tase me bro.....Seperated at birth? (A pix of Lou Holtz and Sylvester the Cat.)
His nickname is Tree Rat and here is his blurb in today's USA today.
Playing head games with Corso
Each Saturday, Joe Andreasen makes one of the highest-profile handoffs in college football.
Technically, it's more of a head-on: Andreasen, crouching under flamboyant Lee Corso's desk on the set of ESPN's College GameDay, plops a school mascot head on Corso to signify his big-game prediction.
Yes, they actually practice. They first tried to get their timing down on turning Corso into the Southern California Trojan, complete with sword and breastplate.
With each school's heads stashed in ESPN production trailers, says Andreasen, Corso "will take me aside when he's getting makeup for the Friday SportsCenter report to practice.
"He takes it so seriously. He wants to go through it so we don't get heads on backwards." Says Corso: "This is serious business for me."
Andreasen, a freelancer who does other errands for the show and also works on ESPN's college basketball GameDay, almost had a busted play this season when Corso was trying to put on an Alabama elephant head — "it was almost life-size and barely fit in a 40-gallon trash bag" — and it wouldn't go on. "It just got stuck for two seconds, but it seemed like five minutes."
Saturday's show is at Oklahoma, where the Sooners will host Missouri. Andreasen expects to call an audible: "I'm almost sure he'll pick Oklahoma, but they don't have a head. There, we've ended up picking a goofy hat from the crowd."
Here are some pictures from his trips so far this season and Tree, if you are reading this, BRING THE CAMERA TO NORMAN!
