Friday Funny...Holly Worlock

[Stray Cat]

When asked about how the upcoming game against Oakland University came about the HC of the LV's said "...we were looking for a team to go out and play on the west coast...and they were looking to come this way."

I guess Geography isn't Coach Worlock's strong suit as Rochester, MI -- home of the Oakland University Golden Grizzlies -- is certainly a long way from the West Coast of Cali. Gotta love those country bumpkins down in Knutsville!! LOL

Saw this on a video at a free LV site (see 2:27 mark).

They probably were trying to get a game out on the west coast. Just not bright enough to pull it off. Wonder if they'll show up in the right place? I can see them driving around in a chartered bus in Oakland, CA, "where the hell is that university?".

Holly will look a bit strange next winter wandering around in Michigan wearing shorts and a T shirt.

What is issue? Minnesota is definitely west of Tennessee.

I think it was the refs who caused this.

 

[KnightBridgeAZ]

Was she joking, I assume?

They don't do humor down there in TN. Well at least not on purpose.

 

[choochoo]

Probably not I'm sad to say!

Hope they are not planning on playing Miami of Ohio. They could really be screwed.

Rochester, MI is near the West Coast (of Lake Erie.)

OMG, I didn't realize this forum had so many comedians on it...thanks for the free laughs fellow BY'ers!

The Oakland (MI) teams can be troublesome to overconfident big schools. UTenn would have been wise to schedule a game with California (PA), which is an 0-6 D3 school that I assume the Vols could beat handily. It's more than an hour closer to Knoxville than Oakland, has a nice amount of Southern (PA) California sunshine, and I'm sure all the Vol players wish they could be California girls, as some surfer dudes used to sing about.

Not all of them were surfer dudes.

I was at the Oakland game last year and our announcer said Rochester, MN. :-/

My brother had just graduated from there a few days before. I also have a cousin who's an Oakland U grad.

Okay, my post was completely pointless but I do feel badly for Oakland U since they get no respect.

I think I just got some cool ideas for new unis for some team. At least one or two of them were pretty orangey.

Holly is excited about playing in Paris & Rome next year. They'll charter a flight to Syracuse, NY and take a bus from there.

And mostly we are funniest when we are really trying not to be.

Easier than that!

Well, yeah, of course. Rome, NY is about 45 minutes from Syracuse and tiny Paris about an hour.

You're talking about a part of the state where every place has a Greek or Roman name (Paris was a town in the Roman Empire) because of a Classics studies obsessed land surveyor who mapped out the area in the 1700s.

 

[Alydar]

Could the OP post a link to the interview? 2:27 isn't much help without it.

 

[Adesmar123]

As long as we are doing Iris Dement and John Prine....In Spite of Ourselves....

What's also interesting the interviewer didn't question her geographic faux pas.

 

[DobbsRover2]

If you ever watched the old Jay-Walking Leno routine where he asks a mainly youngish crowd simple geographical questions like "Which country is north of the United States?" and hear the incredible answers, nothing would surprise you about the ignorance of the average UTenn WCBB coach or an interviewer. Now of course it is possible that there's some faking is going on here in order to get some publicity, but I really think it is plain dumb ignorance.

Please don't confuse the poor woman.... there is also a Paris and Rome in Texas. She'll have that big orange plane flying all over this country.
