Vindy's 2023-24 Bowls Part I Between Da' Hashmarks

                            “THE WORLD LEADER” APOLOGIZES FOR UNFORTUNATE TYPO  

NEW YORK CITY, New York (TMZ)...ESPN offered a heart-felt “mia culpa” for not catching a sponsor-title snafu last Friday night that created some chaotic results. The network inadvertently displayed a graphic showing “The Home Deport College Football Awards” as Georgia wide-receiver Ladd McConkey was announced as this year’s Wuerffel Trophy, given to the “most impactful community service leaders”. McConkey was subsequently seen being escorted out of the audience by immigration officers, packing his suitcase and boarding a plane to an undisclosed foreign country. Previously thought to be a native of the Peach State, the player was described by teammates as “the boy next door”. Show producers are blaming the boo-boo on a “spell-check malfunction”! 

When enough gifts are ordered via Amazon Prime, the specially inscribed packages, when delivered and placed side-by-side, will reveal... 

THE WEBER KID’S 2023-24 BOWLS PART I “BETWEEN DA’ HASHMARKS”

BETWEEN DA’ HASHMARKS 

BTW, we ain’t sure from which international region McConkey hails, but since presentation of the actual hardware won’t occur until February 17th, the athlete will need someone stateside to accept the award on his behalf or have it Fed-Ex'd and acknowledge the kudos via video-conference call! 

Still waiting approval of their applications as post-season venues for 2024-25...Southwest Airlines Cancellation Bowl, S&H Green Stamps Bowl, Game of Thrones Hodor Bowl Presented by HBO. More next week! 

Bad Beat- “Under 27 ½" bettors cheered loudly when the Swabbies were unsuccessful on their two-point try following a TD with less than three minutes to play, keeping the total at 26. Those same folks were left crying in their brewskis as Army QB Bryson Daily took an intentional safety as time expired, putting the final number at 28!  

Despite the win leading to a 6-6 SU record, the Grunts are bowl-less for a second straight year based on the same technicality...two of those victories came against FCS foes. We think that might be worthy of giving the Black Knights a military discount and dibs on next season’s Lockheed-Martin “Front Toward the Enemy” Armed Forces Bowl!  

The University Colorado at Boulder will be providing a course starting in January centered on (no pun intended) HC Deion Sanders (whose Buffs will again be “home fer da’ holidays”, despite the hype surrounding his hire), entitled “CMCI 4021: Prime Time: Public Performance and Leadership”. The classes will address, among other topics, college time management, career prep and effective interaction with reporters. In addition to purchasing the relevant textbooks, students will be required to buy and wear sunglasses and cowboy hats while attending educational seminars! 

During the 2nd-Quarter of the Denver-HOUSTON contest earlier this month, Texans’ center Michael Deiter was flagged for ”tripping”. We misheard the ref to say “stripping” and thought the call would be “illegal jock-strap to the face”! 

Las Vegas Review-Journal sports-writer Adam Hill, proposing a mock NFL draft fer 2024, suggested Joja’ OT Amarius Mims “looks like someone produced in a lab (for the position)...”. Not sure if Mims was actually created in a test-tube, beaker or petri-dish. Fer all we know, he was built from Legos and Tonka Toys, but the bolts in his neck were a dead giveaway! 

If a quarterback in recovery back-pedals a dozen number of times before releasing the ball, is he in a 12-step-drop back program? (Yeah, yeah...save the hate-mail fer somebody who cares!) 

Back in March, during the ACC Conference basketball tournament game featuring Duke vs. Pitt, a broadcaster announced Blue Devils Head Coach Jon Scheyer. We thought he said actor “Jon Cryer” and immediately pictured “Duckie” of “Pretty Inbound Pink” and Alan Harper in “Two-and-a-Half-Court Men”! 

Referring back to an earlier “hashmarks” comment, we just include a thought for a gender-reveal event for expecting couples who are fans of hockey...hire a guy from the NHL to launch a slap-shot, “one-timer” or twisted wrista’ “biscuit in da’ basket” to “light da’ lamp” in blue or pink! 

Shortly after the Vegas Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in June, Vindy secretly slipped the person in charge of engravings a twenty to covertly add his name to the trophy while no one was looking! 

Charles Barkley let it be known last February he scarfed-down two boxes of pizza and a trey of brewskis ahead of registering a game-high of 44 points and 22 boards in a Big Dance match! He also copped to concealin’ “slices of pizza in my pockets” before daily practices! Vin goes all Weird Al Yankovic version of “Fat” and pulls out some squares of Sicilian pie from his Snuggie in honor of Michael Jackson. 

In June, Vindicator started training in “Julie Jitsu” to take-on the winner of the UFC cage-match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg (BTW, she’s a real nice woman, but she regularly kicks our a$$ in the Octagon!!!) 

On-Deck....more details on the actual bowl contests and thoughts on....Christmas!
