Surrender Cobras

Cobras only emerge when a loss is unexpected. I don't think anyone saw this one coming. Certainly not this guy:   Or him, either..... When this guy dropped his cobra... They popped up all around him.

Sometimes, when your team has just beat the #1 team in the nation on their own court, especially in the last 1/10th of the last second.... you have to watch for the cobras. Trulick got the pic.  Count 'em. Cobras.  Glorious cobras EVERYWHERE. Congratulations to Steven F. Austin. Today, I'm a Lumberjack.  And I'm OK.

It is no longer enough to simply choose matching outfits when going to the Awbern-Georgia game.  Accessorize!  Matching Cobras! Cobra adeptly captured by Jeff Trulick.  Cobramaster Trulick added a couple more.

Interception for a TOUCHDOWN! It was glorious.  Full-on, both hand on head, fully hooded cobra. I was dancing around the room, screaming laughter, kissing the dog, spilling my beer on the floor.  And trying to find a camera so that I could capture the inevitable moment when th...

Once in a great while, the players on the winning team can't believe it, either.  And the cobra strikes then, too. Following a rare successful hook-and-ladder play used by the Miami Dolphins to defeat the New England Patriots.... Sorry.  I just love those words.  Let me repeat. "used by the Miami Dolphins to defeat the New England Patriots" Two cobras. The bench erupted, as time expired and the Dolphins won.
