Can you picture the editorial staff when they finalized the page layout for that? There's no way they didn't realize what they were saying.

Actually, that is virtually one of my hometown papers. No shit. Paper is out of Salem, OR, and is not a college paper.



And it is very damned funny.

The Trojans? depth and versatility on both sides of the ball were more than the Beavers could handle.
Os this a bad time to mention that one of the Trojan's top players is named Reggie Bush? anyways heres a few quotes I came up with to accompany for your reading pleasure.


===================

"beavers give it up three times in tough effort"

"Loose Balls cause problems for Beavers"

"the Trojans pounded it in for the score"

"Beaver wide recievers and tight ends were well covered by the Trojan safetys."

I take it the Trojans got into the Beaver's territory and then spilled out?

Trojan is a popular brand of condom. The Trojans (the warriors, not the condoms) are the Mascots of the University of Southern Califorina
Beaver is slang for vagina. The Beavers (the animals) are the Mascots of Oregon State University.

The Trojans football team defeated the Beavers football team.

aaah, now it makes sense. i knew about the beaver = vagina but i couldn´t fit the trojans in.

hmm... "trojan condoms" sounds way cooler than "billy boy condoms".

That's just so wrong. So very wrong.

What makes it better is that there's no other way to put it really. Unless you name the school/state name with the team name? But still. Fucks like us would still find it hilarious. =)

I should also note that my folks used to live in Arizona, where they attended many ASU games. One of their favorite cheers while playing OSU was "EAT A BEAVER! EAT A BEAVER!"

Wow. :shock: This is probably going to end up in Dave Barry's column.

:shock: OK, that's a bad headline. Those journalists knew darn well what they were writing, and they were laughing their asses off when it got through to be printed.

Of course, there used to actually be a Beaver College. Female-only school. My mother went there for a couple years.

And then my college's mascot is a snake, so there's a few jokes about that, too... :roll: .

That is just too funny... It just works so well that I have to wonder if it's a real headline.

Damn...
