The Barstool Dixie Weekly Recap - Tennessee Edition

LSU – We are coming to your campus on Tuesday and will be looking for stuff to film all week. If you have any insight or ideas on any hick activities I can do in Louisiana let me know. I am literally down for anything. Im talking gator wrestling, bayou diving, moonshine making, anything. Also if you are in a fraternity and want to us to come host the Draft Kings “Frat King Of The South” contest at your frat on Sunday tell us why your frat deserves it the most via twitter or email at dixie@barstoolsports.com.

Lets start off this weeks recap with one of my favorite, most unintentionally hilarious videos of all time. Hornets player PJ Hairston and his crew dancing to “Thought It Was A Drought” by Future. Caleb had run into PJ in Chapel Hill and gave him a couple of shirts and asked for a picture for us to use on social media. Instead PJ (the one holding the dog) and his boys went the extra mile and took this strangely mesmerizing video on his back porch.

And for that we thank him.

The week started off hot when our generator broke late Saturday night in Dallas. Turns out running a generator for 72 hours straight isn’t actually good for the RV and it will eventually die on you. Since it was Labor Day we had to wait until Tuesday to get the RV fixed. Luckily Caleb had a cousin who lived en route to Tennessee in Oklahoma who let us crash at her place for a couple days. Calebs Cousin had a 3 legged dog named Pib who, not to disrespect anyone elses dog, is the best dog ever. Dude only has 3 legs and just wants to ball 24/7/365

After the truck got fixed on Wednesday we drove 10 hours into the night to Nashville

But didn’t get there until 2am and since the only RV place near us was all booked up, Bus Boy Ben made the executive decision to literally park the bus on the side of the highway and go to sleep. Which as it turns out, was not legal.

We went to a frat party on Thursday at Vanderbilt which was played by 2 DJ’s called “The Playboys” who I had never heard of before but they absolutely burned the roof off the joint. And then took our hungover selves to Knoxville on Friday for the Tennessee Oklahoma game

People always say how there is nothing like an SEC football game atmosphere and they are 100% right. As much as I love going to Gillette, tailgating and then seeing the Pats play, it doesn’t even compare atmosphere wise. The whole town shuts down and everyone just drinks and parties all day until the game starts. Smokes are everywhere

They have traditions like the Vol Walk

10 million people asked where they could BUY THIS SHIRT.

And people sing  “Rocky Top” which I heard no less than 1700 times before the game.

I’m pretty as a Tennessee fan you are legally obligated to scream “wooo!” everytime you hear the lyrics “good ol rocky top” no matter what the situation is. Even after the game, when the whole town was depressed, people were still sitting outside a bar singing it and im pretty sure its not because they wanted to but because they legally had to.

Speaking of the game. Oklahoma won partly because Baker Mayfield balled out (Buy A Shirt) and partly because I completely mushed Tennessee. When overtime started I was outside the stadium with the camera waiting to capture the Tennessee celebration, I saw an unattended gate and decided to walk in.

Needless to say, Oklahoma scored, got the ball back to start 2OT, scored again, and then forced Tennessee to go 3 and out to end the game. Mush city.

So that’s it from this week. The “On The Road” Podcast will be coming out later today with some more stories about Tennessee and life on the bus. If you have any questions you want answered on the podcast tweet us or send us an email at dixie@barstoolsports.com.
