was outnumbered by Vanderbilt-Industrial folks last night... some drunk dude I didn't know started dogging my buddy because he was drinking Shiner Bock... which ended with me defending Shiner Bock... my reasons were because it was good and because I grew up 30 miles from there in Cuero... then that's when the attention turned to how Vanderbilt-Industrial whupped Cuero's ass in football... the same ole drunk guy doggin' Shiner Bock started it, he musta been in his late 30's/early 40's... "We moved up from 2A, whupped y'alls asses then whupped Sealy's asses"... I said "Hold on, Industrial has never beaten Cuero, and #2, beating Sealy 7-6 in bi-district is not whupping ass"...
"No we beat y'all, I know, I played football in Cuero..."
"Really?" I said, "Me too"
"Oh yah, what'd you play? softball"
"No, I said I played football"
"Yah well so did I"
I noticed somewhere before this that this man was about 5'5, so I said "I don't believe you did, they have a sign out there that says you have to be 'this tall' before they let you on the field"...
then his ole lady stepped in and calmed him down... then some cocky skinny wannab cowboy kid my age chimes in "Hell we beat y'all three years in a row we know what we're talkin' bout, you don't"...
now I'm cornered, and another drunk mumbles "Two years in a row"
I said "Oh yah? which years? in '98 we won 27-11, in '99 it was 42-0 at halftime, but y'all tied us in the second half 7-7... in '00 it was us 26-0 and in '01, our last year to play each other, our guys won 7-0"
they didn't like that too much so they denied it, so Cuero, sorry, but we lost to Industrial somewhere in there without knowing it...
so things settle, I'm actually being nice to the really drunk guy who "Says" he played football in Cuero... but he couldn't let things go...
"Ya know, you don't know jack, I won a championship in Cuero boy"
"cool man, what year?"
"82"
"Damn, you're the only one then"
"What's that mean boy?"
"Cuero didn't win one from 74 to 87 is what I mean, so your parents musta just gotten you the ring to make you feel good or something"
that got him really fired up, his old lady had to cut in and drag the dude away, thank God...
