Herbie on the Table
About 7 years ago, I cashed in some "MyCoke Rewards" points and procured a Herbstreit ESPN Gameday bobblehead.
He graced our tailgate table for a year or so, and then we started to lose. After games, we began to grumble to Herbie. Soon we noticed that we won when Herbie was accidentally left at home. So, we tried leaving him out during the game in the hopes that someone would claim him...no one did.
After the last home loss to Miami in 2014 (30-6), Herbie came home and, since it was late, I neglected to bring him inside-leaving him behind my rear van tire. The next morning, I went out to move the van and ran over Herbie, crushing him into a thousand pieces.
I collected the pieces and put them in a bag. Then I spent the entire year of 2015 reconstructing Herbie, carefully gluing his bits back together. It turns out, that I couldn't get them all to fit exactly.
I presented Zombie Herbie to the tailgate to start the 2016 season, and he seemed to lead us to a better, more positive place. Once again this year, Zombie Herbie spins his positive mojo on our table at the 50 yard line of the Drillfield directly across from Burruss. As long as he doesn't give up on us, we will allow him a place of honor at the center of our little table.
