Coach B has me OBSESSED

Mrs. Hullabaloo is social media friends with a former TU Coach, whom we'll call Coach B.

Earlier this week Coach B started posting several PSY videos.  The Navy Academy one, a few other random ones.  I told him he was obsessed!

But Lawd! Now his obsession has rubbed off on ME for crying out loud! Coach Hullabaloo, on the other hand, is delighted that watching these videos is resulting in me spending less of his money.

My favorite Gangnam Style parody has got to be this one from the Oregon Duck.  The Duck is my 2nd favorite NCAA college mascot, behind Riptide, of course.

Y'all remember the Duck from this episode when he had his way with the Houston Cooter, right?

....speaking of Riptide, Coach Hullabaloo was in some kind of mood after coming back from the Devon Walker Rally on campus last week.  He overheard fresmen asking "What's with the bird?!"  Omg, Coach Hullabaloo was fit to be tied.  He was peturbed, as other fans were, about Riptide not being on the field for the Rutgers game.  And then when I told him Riptide wasn't invited to Orientation neither, it was all she wrote....



You have to wait until the end of the video for the credits. "For Kevin Bacon" ??? talk about LMAO! and Kermit the frog?  and like what's on the Duck's back when he's walking away? Yoda?

And look at the Duck's sunglasses at the beginning.  The little airplane dragging the duck banner?!

Oh, how I love college football!

Retail Therapy Continues....

This might turn out to be a most expensive season for Coach Hullabaloo y'all!

Check it out, super cute handbags from By Sara Designs! 

I am going to need to investigate the source of this curiously sudden enthusiasm for Tulane licensed products in the marketplace.

In the meantime, I'll take it!

Roll Wave!

Bye Week Blues

You'll all be thrilled to know that I finally stopped feeling sorry for myself this weekend about our sad state of affairs. Somewhat anyways, and decided to finally tackle this chandelier situation that has been hanging over my head for a while. (did I just make a joke?)

So while ULM took Auburn to overtime and missed winning the game by a field goal, I twisted tulle and ribbon. (lawd, sweet baby jesus, September 29th!!!!!! Sigh). Tomorrow I tackle tablecloths. Onwards!

I did sullenly manage to melt Coach Hullabaloo's credit card -begrudgingly- and purchase 3 tops, a skirt and the cutest ruffled logo'd scarf you've ever seen from Meesh and Mia's Tulane collection!  Who are we kidding?!  It was like my happiest moment ever as a Greenwave Fan!

The game next week is at 11 - ELEVEN!  the thought of getting up so early, just makes me want to curl up and take a nap.  But our southern brunch inspired menu kind of perks me up a bit (ladies, please sign up!).

Please Support #18 Devon Walker

Tulane has posted a link for our community and those who have expressed support to donate to the Walker family as Devon undergoes critical spinal surgery, care and rehabilitation.

The direct link for donations is here https://tulaneuniversity.ejoinme.org/?tabid=413351

The long-term extent of Devon's injuries is currently unknown.  Devon underwent surgery on Sunday afternoon where the neurosurgeons stabilized his spine.  As of today, Devon appears to be alert and responsive and has (Thank You Jesus) shown movement in his shoulders. This according to Coach CJ Johnson at his speech at the New Orleans QB Club lunch today.  Rick Dickson mentioned during his press conference this afternoon from the hospital that he was joking with Devon about his braids, so his signature braids seem to still be with him.  Devon may or may not have to undergo additional procedures.  They are waiting for the swelling to completely go down to make additional determinations.  He is currently in stable condition at St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa.  It is a wait and see situation for atleast another day or two. He is not out of the clear yet.  And then the severity of the permanent damage can be determined.

When we were watching the game on Saturday with Booty, Booty started to cry because she knows Devon from her office at Tulane.

Devon is an exemplary student and a walk on scholarship player.  Here's the article from summer 2011 when Devon was awarded a full football scholarship.

Booty says that Devon always has two teammates in tow and the three of them apparently take all of their classes together, they study together and help each other out. In Cell and Molecular Biology at Tulane.  Listen y'all, the lazy writer of this blog you are currently reading decided to take biology at a community college back home over the summer while an undergrad, because I was too chicken to take for real biology.  And this guy is majoring in it and tutoring other people, and paid his own way for a few years!  Waveprofessor mentioned that when he taught Devon, Devon went out of his way to help another teammate pass the class, even though that teammate was ahead of him on the roster. and Devon was still in the hunt for even getting a scholarship spot.

Devon and his teammates in Hawaii last season.

I can't even begin to imagine the burden that Coach CJ Johnson is currently carrying and the sadness that is cast over the men in Olive and Blue.  We could not have had a more well-timed Bye week, because I don't think I could even watch a game right now, much less prepare for one if I were a player.

Devon's family is distraught, but hopeful, and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. The prayer circles in the Greenie Dat Nation have been off the hook.

So friends, haters, lurkers, generous souls, please come together and show some love. Hit the donation link above, any bit counts.

Shalom.

We Need Your Prayers

Now is not the time for me to review the buzzsaw game we had this afternoon. 

While Tulsa basks in their post-victory glow, Mrs. Hullabaloo requests that the rest of our classy nation could please send their most fervent, genuine, and devoted prayers to Devon Walker, his family, his teammates and his coaches.

Shalom.

Don't Tread On This

And don't you forget it, ya heard?!

ROLL WAVE!
