Beautiful fall days bring out
worst in television sports junkie
I t's Saturday, October 23, 1993, and it's another
beautiful day in the Brazos Valley. The sun is
shining, the birds are singing and children are
playing in the street. It's a scene worthy of a Nor
man Rockwell painting.
For some people, how
ever, this fall Saturday
means only one thing: col
lege football. This is the
story of one person.
Billy Joe ( the names
have been changed to pro
tect the innocent) rolled
out of bed at approximate
ly 11 a.m. on this particu
lar day. He has promised
a friend, Mr. Orange, that
they would listen to the
Texas A&M-Rice game on
the radio, so he throws on
some clothes, grabs his
boom box and heads out
to their favorite hangout
spot.
Since he slept through
breakfast, Billy Joe decid-

ed to stop at FreebtrdS and get a monster chicken
burrito to tide him over until supper.
Once Billy Joe and Mr. Orange settled into their
respective viewing positions, the fun began. Not
only were they listening to the Aggie game on the
radio, they were watching another game on televi
sion with the sound turned down.
This turned out to be extremely confusing.
As A&M's Leeland McElroy was running back a
kickoff for a touchdown, Billy Joe wondered aloud
why the players on the television were in punt for
mation and not chasing Mr. McElroy like they
should be. This sort of thing went on for the en
tirety of both games.
The day's early games provided very little in the
way of dramatics, so there was plenty of time for
idle chatter. The conversation centered on a plan
to get A&M ranked high enough to have a chance
to play for a national title.
"If Notre Dame, Ohio State, Miami, Alabama,
Nebraska, Arizona, Tennessee, Auburn and Flori
da all lost at least one game and A&M won all of
its remaining games," Mr. Orange surmised, "a
number one versus number two matchup with
Florida State in the Cotton Bowl is a definite possi
bility."
"Riiiiight," Billy Joe replied, laughing hysterical
ly. "I think we'll see Rush Limbaugh wearing
Birkenstocks and a tie-dyed muumuu before that
scenario will unfold. Texas A&M should justtai:
care of its own business and let the pollsshai:
themselves out."
While this great debate rages on, the Aggiesaii
polishing off Rice, 38-10. The offense, defense,sjf
cial teams and Reveille all scored touchdowns.
Billy Joe, having shotgunned three orfouitfe
Cokes at halftime, has been content tospendtk
second half of the game practicing his belchir;
technique, while Mr. Orange has attempted tol
ten to the game amid these paint-peeling sop
booms.
This sort of behavior (belching, that is) isnotu:
common to the football addict, especially when &
game is a rout.
It's Billy Joe's way of saying, "1 am man
me roar."
Next on the docket is the ABC telecast of theAi
abama-Mississippi game, a contest featuring gre
defenses. The highlight of this game was
ended.
This brings up another characteristic of thefod!
ball addict, which is watching a game to itsconck!
sion even if the person doesn't care a thing abo:
either team.
Why did Billy Joe and Mr. Orange watch!
game? Because it was on, that's why. It'salnwjt
like they're afraid the game wein't continueuris
they are tuned in to the action.
Following a half-hour break to get caught up
the day's scores and highlights, the two comradel
settle in for the ESPN game featuring Syracuseani
Miami.
This was to be the capper of a productive day(fl
football watching. Unfortunately, they neverevtf
made it to the half.
Some heathen life forms wanted to watdil
asp!) a baseball game. They said somethin!
about it being important, like it was a World Serif
game.
After careful deliberation, Billy Joe relinquished
the TV and went bowling with Mr. Orange and
some of their friends. After rolling a ratherpilfiil
73, Billy Joe called it a night.
There you have it,
The sad, wretched, unfulfilled life of Billy Joe
Robidoux, football addict. It's a situation justbej
ging to be corrected.
No cure has been found of yet, hut some treai
ments that have proven effective in combating i
insidious malady include camping, doing home
work, jogging and listening to Wayne New!
CDs.
The question remains: Will Billy Joe ever
life? Stay tuned...
