A little bit of Trojans on my mind, a little bit of Bulldogs on the side...

Wish I'd been able to make the game, should be at all the remaining games. Can't wait to watch how the rest of the season unfolds.

Shouldn't that be Mamba #6 instead?

It depends on if you're wanting to reference the Dámaso Pérez Prado / Lou Bega song or if you're wanting to confuse the heck out of everyone reading your posts.

Mamba- fast-moving, terrestrial, venomous snakes of the genus Dendroaspis

Mambo- a Latin dance of Cuba. Mambo #5 is a song originally done in 1949 by a Cuban and remade for my generation in 1999 by Lou Bega.

The 5 is for the number of touchdowns he scored.

I was thinking his jersey # not tds & I get the Lou Bega ref just thought differently on the #5
