My dad is a Mississippi State alum from just before WWII- probably class of 1940, just in time for his ROTC to get him into the middle of it all. Anyway after the war the US Army put him through a masters degree program up at the house of the Wolverine so we always followed their football program. And living in SoCal we were fortunate enough to get to go to a number of Rose Bowl games. Michigan didn’t win, but just getting to see a Rose Bowl live is something special.
“She’s got the shortest skirt on the campus.”
And that’s supposed to be a bad thing to say? The whiners need to hang around with my morning coffee pals once, their heads would explode.
It was a Skort, looks like a skirt but wear it like shorts. Acceptable women’s golf attire.
Is that a 19 hole joke?
I’m speaking specifically about the overtime/tie breaker. Full disclosure: I didn’t tune in until then.
My theory is that the skirt is for tennis and has shorts underneath.
He’s wrong. Dustin Johnson’s wife claimed that title at last year’s US Open. I remember because my husband mentioned her short skirt over & over & over again. He liked it :-)
