“That’s what she said.” Count: 29
We’ve made it to Texas but we still have quite a drive ahead of us. Drew and Oz are in the back seat watching The Office on Drew’s computer and all we can hear from the front are random chuckles and gawfs, especially from the hyena that is Drew Brooks. I could really use a beer. (And in the business, my friends, we call that a segway)
Being a freshly turned 21-year old with no prior experience with drinking alcohol (enter halo, angels singing) it has been an educational past few months when it comes to training the palette. And nothing seems more important that choosing the proper game day beer.
Here The Tiger Ride’s choices:
Oz: Bud Light
“It’s my [St. Louis] blood, my dad would kick my ass if I drank anything else.”
Andy: Cold and Free
“Everything is delicious when I don’t pay for it. Except Milwaukee’s Best. I’d rather have a Tab then.”
Danny: Miller Lite
“Because nobody else in Missouri wants to drink it so I never have to worry about it getting stolen. You can put down a case of Miller Lite at a tailgate and people will run away from it. If it were a case of Natty it would be jacked in thirty seconds.”
Drew: Keystone Ice
“Aka ‘the black death’; its gets you [expletive deleted] up the fastest. What else do you want from me?”
Dark vs. light, thickness, import vs. domestic; for college students price is the only deciding factor. $11.99 for a 30-pack tastes much better than $8.99 for a sixer of a bottled beer.
My brain is starting to get fried, so there may not be anymore posts until we reach San Antonio. When we finally get there we will begin with our analysis of the big game and our take on college football. At least thats the plan, but who can say for sure? There are plenty of gas pumps to rip out of the ground from here to there.

This is your mother. Had I not seen you in the crowd on the ESPN Gameday Show moments ago, I would still not know if The Tiger Ride arrived in SanAntonio safely. Go Tigers! Love, Mom
