I don't know. Something awesome about being stuck between Montgomery and Mobile with the gas light on at 3 in the morning. 5 drunk guys in the back of a minivan, 3 of them passed out. Only sober one in the bunch. When's the next exit? Is there gas at that exit? Is the gas station open?
I remember those times. That's when you bond. Like running sprints in basketball and everyone is throwing up. That's when you become a team. Same thing for road trips. It's how you respond when your back is against the wall.
Road trips are dumb.
In college, some buddies and I drunkenly decided to drive to Nashville to see Tom Petty, who was playing there the next night. By the time we got to the Harrodsburg exit on Bluegrass Parkway, I had sobered up enough to realize "hey, we don't have tickets, a place to stay, or money. This is probably not a great idea. Plus, I have the 'Full Moon Fever' disc right here in the car."
So we turned on "I Won't Back Down" and hoofed it back to Landsdowne East.

I think so, but not sure. There was a few month period in college where I thought the stuff was completely untouchable in the domestic beer realm.
Of course there was also the Budweiser semester when I gained about 20 lbs.
Pti and I went to South Bend for the freaking NIT vs. Notre Dame. Met up with Voinovich (where's that guy???). Didn't get home until 3 am.
Best part of the trip was listening to Suter (via phone) go on and on about how Calipari was about to get hired, and Gillispie was out for sure. Made boring *** Indiana look a lot better.
That was probably the worst road trip ever. But it was memorable.

73's reaction to Lorenzo Romar was an all timer.
My fraternity's go to in that situation is this song, non-stop. Well it used to be...
We'd laugh and high five on the back porch each time the song started over. Lotta fun.
We went through a regrettable ice beer phase sophomore year. Budweiser was always considered the expensive stuff. Great beer, tho.
Me, ShootBag and a few of our other buddies went to the Indy 500 last year. Found these bad boys at the ghetto liquor store next to our hotel.
$14 for a 36 pack. We bought three cases. 108 beers for $42. Ended up being about a nickle a beer for the lot of us that went. We drank them and got drunk.

*Bunch of damn joey brackets on here. Guess I let my BJW conspiracy theorist get the better of me with that IU take. Plus, I have less of a grasp on seeding and college bball in general than I have in years...kids, man. I scratch, claw, and fight just to make sure I get to watch every min of my cayts.
*I remember Ice House being a really cheap keg option in college that we would go to occasionally on the theory it was more bang for your buck.

Get ya a couple 25 oz Natty Daddys for 3 bucks and you're set for the evening
Good thing I was sitting on ticketmaster, actually got Sturgill tickets. It sold out in two minutes.
The Louisville Palace show had tickets as of 2pm. Bought 2, then bought 2 more. Then all "committed" parties backed out on going within an hour after purchase. ********.
Thursday night pregame: 10-12 beers and a bong rip or 2.
Pretty standard back then. Might kill me now.

Century club: 100 shots of beer in 100 minutes.
So efficient and classy.

The abuse that a 20 year old body could take and bounce back with sleep in and some fast food was a thing that was taken for granted back in those days.
- There are people out there in this world that don't enjoy a road trip?? WTF.
A weekend in a new city with literally zero obligations but drinking and chasing tail? Athens, Ft Lauderdale, Charleston, NYC, NOLA to name a few in college. Wouldn't trade those memories for the world.
- Interview in Miami for fellowship today. Stayed with a friend at his very hip apt complex last night. A few frosties overlooking the city surrounded by beautiful women. Shew.
- Sitting in a bar in MIA and only game on is Purdue-Illinois. March!!

...And the same number of Kentucky fans gave a **** both times.
BREAKING NEWS:
We are crushing it at Rippy's. The beer is flowing like wine. Just belted out a few CATS cheers. Blue got in. Sloot is being approached by multiple college kids admiring her big blue fist. People are shooting bow and arrow.
Haven't seen Adrian yet.

It was pretty awesome to hear that back-to-back reaction coming down the hall from our office lobby.
Chris Isaac's Wicked Game. On repeat for 2.5 hours while you stand there in the dark. Hate that song.
Then for hell week, it stepped up a notch. Everyone crammed in a small part of the basement with a 4 second loop of James Brown singing "Wow! I feel goooood!" over and over all night long at top volume. Being taken out to get hazed was a sweet relief.

Anytime we got a Budlight keg, we thought we were classing up the party.
First time I went to Derby we had a cooler full of Icehouse we thought we would start on. No. I still shudder when I think about it.
20 year old bodies succeeded in resiliency, but made up for it with a glorious lack in taste.

That's weak. We got locked in a room with Neil Duamond's " Coming to America" on repeat 99 times in a row. And American, the brand, beer.
I don't know what it was but Briscoe looking at Greg Sankey and asking with a concerned look if the SEC championship trophy was heavy cracked me up.
