"Twas the Night Before the Orange Bowl....."

"The Night Before the Orange Bowl"
Twas the night ‘fore the Orange Bowl and all through South Beach Not a Buckeye was stirrin, as a win seemed in-reach. The gamecocks were back home roosting in their nests Because their bowl game had been non-BCS. And The Chad with his offense and Brent with his D Had just finished planning how to ensure victory. When out on the beach there arose such a commotion It was as if ol Spurriers visor had been thrown in the ocean. When what to my wondering eyes did show But the Clemson team bus with equipment in tow. And a sweat-shirted head coach, so young and so witty I knew right away it must be Dabo Swinney. More rapid than Spiller his players they came And he yelled and hollered and called them by name: “Now Watkins, now Jarrett, now Shuey, now Hot-Rod! On Beasley, on Bryant, on Humphries and Tajh! To Sun Life Stadium, we embark on our mission: To bring home a win, under any condition!” So onto the field, his soldiers they stormed As Urban looked on he became forlorn. And then with a bang the game did begin Although all along, it was clear who would win. Up and down the field, the Tigers marched at will Led by Tajh Boyd, whose play did indeed thrill: His passes¬--- how they flew! His scrambles, uncanny! His throws were on-point, even deep-balls to Sammy! Poor Braxton looked dejected on the opposing sideline After being sacked by Vic Beasley, time after time. And Hyde had no hope to run through any holes For all were plugged by the D-line’s merciless souls. Urban spoke not a word, but looked on in dismay While Clemson proved victorious at the end of the day. As the Buckeyes looked teary and started to weep, Dabo hoisted the trophy and yelled, “WE TOO DEEP!”

coots were jealous of the Tigers and running their mouth. The coots settle down and looked in the pocket only to find they were sucking hind teat again.
That don't rhyme and I don't give a chit.

and that is the problem at times. Being able to adjust "in-game" to the flow, and who's performing well. This is where the coaches are weak.

Brillant. Think you could rewrite "The Christmas Carol" starring Spurrier as Ebenezer Scrooge? Just think.You could have Connor Shaw playing the ghost of Christmas present,or Clowney as Tiny Tim. And how about Lou Holtz as Mr Cratchett.
By the way Merry Christmas.
