Not the best Friday-Saturday of my life...
Okay, let's start at the top. I took the Minnesota Gophers
straight up because that's where the good action was. I was enjoying
the game over at the Oyster Shucker sports chalet, I win the drawing
at 8:45 for the free day-old clams, I go in the kitchen to collect,
come back out...
...Michigan 38, Minnesota, 35.
But at least I was ALIVE, baby! You know, clams don't really spoil
like oysters, and if you just fry them with Crisco
and some fennel, wow, it's like bein' in Tuscany... according
to my friends who've been to Tuscany...
...incidentally, Oyster Shucker's has the single best dulce la
leche push-up pop in the biz. Secret prize in every pop! Just
keep lickin...
Then Saturday I head out for my Holiday From The Casinos... I
get an aperitif at the Bombay Bicycle Club, then the Pasta Jim
Beam at Bennigan's, and the Frazzleberry Brule at Fuddruckers...
I like wandering between those three, it's like the Bermuda Triangle,
there's a lot of hot divorcee's lost in the middle somewheres...
...Anyway, I plunk down my money on the unstoppable Ohio
State Buckeyes to beat the Wisconsin Badgers.
I mean, Badgers aren't even indigenous to the state! All three
restaurants have the game on, the Buckeyes tie it 10-10, I figure
the ref they bribed will make somethin' good happen at the end,
so I go join the waitstaff at Fudd's to sing happy birthday to
these cute Malaysian twins, turn back around to the TV...
...Wisconsin 17, OSU 10.
I'm not that fond of the Big Ten, or my name
ain't...
THE TUBSTER
The Tubster
We all know unsanctioned
gambling is illegal, and Sportalicious! would never condone it.
But if you're playing at the kitchen table, an innocent game with
your kids using potato chips…knowledge is power, that's
all we're saying.
