Mixology 103: The New 7 and 7

This isn't your grandfather's after work drink anymore, kiddies! While reminiscing on post-game Skybar trips circa 2006, I recalled being quite the lover of 7 and 7s. For those who don't know, the drink consists of whiskey, usually Seagrams 7, and 7-up... hence the ever-so-clever name.

Continuing with our season-long idea for how to make those Saturday afternoons(or ESPN MAC Tuesday Nights) in Bull-land warmer, tastier, and sloshier, let's play a little game with the updated 7 and 7... DB style:

-When UB scores a TD, take a shot of Seagrams 7(we won't settle for not making the XP).
-If you're the Designated Driver for the day, in honor of good ol' #7, Davonte Shannon up there,
you can take a shot of 7-Up.
-If your man duffel hasn't been lost in the terminal and Shannon scores, pour yourself a nice mix of 7 and 7:

• 2 oz. Seagrams 7 whiskey
  
• 5 oz. 7-up

My 2010 Buffalo Pregame Mixtape: The C-15

Say what you want about the South, but they know their rap, and they know their football.  Therefore every pregame mixtape should have a heavy dose of dirty south.  The third song is an important anthem, Archie Eversole's "We Ready"

 

See in the south people are slower, simpler, and this song spares no words explifying this:

subject: We
state of mind: Ready

Thats all we need to know.  Proving that sometimes the most profound statements are concise.

Song 3: 'We Ready" by Archie Eversole

 

Qualifications: Only know the words to the Chorus, Dirty South, use of y'all.

"We Ready, We Ready, We Ready, For Y'alll...."

My 2010 Buffalo Pregame Mixtape: The C-15

Hours before kickoff, the warmups begin, and the music turns on.  The average tailgater is too busy drinking to ever get to the game early, however the music is there.  In today's PC world, the music tends to skew family friendly which really doesn't sit well with me.  I can't get hype on "Dance" by Lee Ann Womack, or Even "Pro's in Area Codes" by Ludacris... Womack is for a Southern Belle's sweet 16 not a football game.  And I have HOES, in Area Codes, censorship is for pussies.

However there are times, when family friendliness, pop culture and awesomeness intersect and create a timeless pregame song, this is one of those moments:

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

UB Mixology 102: The G - Smell

One of the first UB players of the 2000's to make the leap to the NFL, Gemara Williams overcame his lack of NFL size with unlimited and unbridled energy and enthusiasm for the game.  Likewise the second drink of UB is non alcoholic, but makes up for it by providing pure energy and hydration, proving you don't have to be drunk to crazily support your Bulls.  Like the Jamey Richard and the James Starks (coming soon), it is a tailgate classic as you only need your can of monster and a bottle of Gatorade; if your lucky you can just bring the Gatorade and get your friends who are rocking the Jamey Richard to top you off with some monster.  Finally, the electrolytes will prepare you to beat the crowds and sprint to the car to beat stadium traffic, as you will most often be the designated driver.

UB Mixology 101: The Jamey Richard

The original drink of UB football captures the essences of one of UB's most successful Offensive linemen of all time.  It is a tailgate classic as you only need your can of monster, and if your lucky you can travel from tailgate to tailgate in search for someone who will top you off with a little Jameson.  Plus the inconspicuous can hides the sweet forbidden alcohol nectar inside for when your tailgating at a crappy boring religious college, (Baylor I'm looking at you).
