Merry Christmas from Saturday Down South. Whether you reside in SEC country or elsewhere, we hope you enjoy time with your family and that you have a happy holidays.
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the land
Not an SEC team stirring, not even a band;
Practice and travel, planned out with care
In hopes that a bowl win soon would be theirs
The ‘Dores and the ‘Cats nestled snug in their beds,
While visions of ’16 danced in their heads;
Muschamp and Odom awaiting their test
Hoping their next stops will be their best
The other 10 programs have faced a long wait
No Christmas in Shreveport, so go celebrate!
Here is to hoping the games get here soon
So all the QBs don’t fly off like balloons
Once Santa Claus delivers his presents
Les Miles once again will grace all us peasants;
We think for Cam Cameron this is goodbye
But not before Leonard gives Texas Tech a black eye
It’s time to salute the Magnolia State
Dak and Laquon, boy they were great!
Hugh Freeze and Dan Mullen hope to avoid
More big bowl losses, they’d be annoyed
On Kenny! On Kyler! On Kyle Allen too!
To other programs, while Aggies fans boo;
Swagcopter and blue chips, those things don’t matter
Those five-stars come, but then they go scatter
Bielema in bowl games, far from robotic
First Longhorns, now Wildcats, it borders erotic!
B.A. and those Hogs should run the ball late
K-State be grateful it’s not loss number eight
Auburn in B’ham, and that’s quite OK
The Gus Bus is stalling, can’t drive far away
The defense in shambles, no quarterback
Malzhan’s “genius” label is under attack
The ‘Dawgs, Vols and Gators all hope to feast
On the B1G, no more “SEC lEast!”
Coach Smart and Coach Mac, those guys are green
Can UT hold a win streak into 2016?
In Tuscaloosa, Colts talk arose
But good Saint Nick Saban won’t go to the pros;
He’s staying put, he’s going nowhere
Add a few titles and he’s catching Bear
The Tide will rely on Henry and D
Some Big Ten revenge would fill them with glee;
Jake Coker to Ridley, then take a knee
No more excuses, like “complacency”
Jimbo and Jameis, they ended our streak
Then Urban Meyer made Bama look weak
Just when the nation begins to doubt
Year Two of the Playoff, S-E-C! Show your clout
The conference again can return to its peak
If only the Tide can start a new streak
So Sooners and Tigers, we hope you await
We don’t know who’s next, but we do know your fate
Is that Santa with reindeer, up on the roof?
His face a bit crinkled, his smile giving proof?
No, that’s not Kringle, waving goodbye
That’s the Head Ball Coach, one tear in his eye
