High school football pregame meals are a great time to bond with teammates. No matter what’s on your plate, you hope it will fuel you up for victory.

If you played high school football or any other sport, you know that sometimes those meals can be less than the best.

We ate at a South Georgia Western Sizzlin’ one time.

My ‘steak’ may have been beef or a piece of boiled boot. No one will ever know for sure.

When those dicey meals pop up and bite ya, you just have to bite back and focus on the high school football game at hand

But this story submitted to Coffeetown via the ‘Your Town’ portal was just too much to stomach.

It was nauseating for the poor fullback / linebacker who had to play on a stomach full of beans and franks.

And you know the high school coach wanted to puke, too.

Here’s the story:

We were getting ready to play our football season opener.

A team mom, out of the kindness of her heart and with the best intentions, fed us beanie weenies (beans and franks, to some) prior to said ballgame.

Midway through the second quarter, our FB/LB, who was one of our better players, could be seen delicately jogging up the locker room.

He informed someone he was about to crap himself.

We get to halftime, and still no sign of our FB/LB.

Our head coach, not realizing that [player] had not rejoined the team, starts to address him when someone points out, “He’s still in the bathroom, coach.”

Coach then gives our team a three-word phrase that we still laugh about some 15 years later:

“F#%&!@‘ beanie weenies.” Frankly, I haven’t bean the same since.
