How the Big Orange Tux Got to the Graduate

“Mom, do you still have the original Big Orange Tux at the house” – J.R.

“Yes, I do honey, I boxed it all up and it’s somewhere in the attic” – Mom.

And then like a scene from Goonies, I began to explore a fully stacked and crowded attic – full of cobwebs, and found the 25 year old box! The tux was perfectly preserved up there for a quarter of a century! 

As Paul Finebaum asked on the SEC Nation show when putting it on, “Has this tux ever been washed”…the answer is, “No!”
