Well, unfortunately, my beloved Arkansas Razorbacks had their asses handed
to them by those Major Marvys-in-training down at Ole Miss this past
weekend. I grew up with that phrase being used pretty regularly in
reference to sporting events, so I kind of skipped over it as something of
a commonplace, but I'm wondering if it's as universal a phrase as I might
have imagined it to be.
