A Little Football Poetry

Obviously doing some stealing from " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas," my brother wrote this one day last week. All Gator fans just hope it is true. We will know tomorrow, won't we?


'Twas the night before the SEC Championship game
And all through Nick Saban's house
Everyone was worried
Including the mouse


Nick was up late watching game film
Of Florida's wide open attack
Wondering if Urban Meyer
Might cut him some slack


Watching Percy Harvin run the ball
He thought, "How can we stop him?
My defense couldn't catch him
Even if he was hoppin'."


"Then there's Rainey and Demps
A very scary combination
They hit the hole and they're gone
Without any hesitation"


And he thought about Tebow,
"Will he throw it or run?
The chances of stopping him
Are between slim and none."


He turned off the game film
And said to himself with a frown,
"I guess after tomorrow
I'll be Sugar Bowl bound."


Don't get me wrong, of course, I hope the Gators win and then play for the National Championship against whichever Big 12 team goes. But 'Bama has a lot to be proud of. They are undefeated so far. They are #1 in all the polls. And they whooped Auburn.

And I wish them all the luck in the world, beating Utah in the Sugar Bowl!

Go Gators!

I stay out of college football. However, college basketball is a religion.

Ewwwwww, no basketball. The constant thump, thump, thump of the ball gives me a headache. When Florida won the back to back titles, I think I watch 90 seconds of the first championship game and 3 minutes of the second.

There is much to be said for an actual playoff, though.
