Taking a cue from the 2007 National Champs, The Trough has decided to live on the edge, too...and live blog the 13th annual Tiger Gridiron Club Bayou Bash Football Recruiting Party, hosted at the River Center. Now, The Trough is assuming that everything will be working smoothly, and we'll try to get updates to you as soon as they possibly occur, provided the interwebs are cooperating nicely. We are definitely winging it, so we're in apologizing in advance for any difficulties, especially with our sobriety. More to come... 3:59 am I am in the loading dock. Urban Meyer is here; he was definitely here first and he was actually taking a leak when I got here. Can't tell if he's crying - it's too dark. He breathes weird, but man, does he smell great. 6:45 am I am dressed as Han Solo. I sure hope I get to meet a Princess Leia today. Can't wait to hear George Lucas speak; I heard last year he dropped a bunch of "f-bombs" when talking about Star Trek. 8:03 Men's room - very clean, very polish-y. I believe this will serve as home base. Urinal cakes have more melon flavor than I anticipated; finish is very piquant with a warm citrus feel. I would describe the flavor as "chappy." All toilets flushing fine. Phew. 8:20 Women's room - a reeking, vomitous disaster. Jeez, ladies. Seriously. 8:27 While putting on my unitard, a member of the janitorial staff asked, "What is THAT?" I said, "It's a unitard." He said, "Is that like 'a single tard'?" Jeans it is. UPDATE So, uh, everything was going swimmingly until someone decided to pull the plug on the WiFi at the River Center. Thanks a lot, River Center IT department. You've now earned the eternal scorn of the THE TROUGH. Well, the Bash was very Bashy, there was definitely an energy there - a communal spirit. We were always under the impression that dressing up in brightly colored garb and getting excited with a lot of men about videos of sweaty younger men was not for us. Color us mistaken. This will not be the last TROUGHBlog, and next time we'll bring our own satellite truck. In your face, River Center.
