    Great Poem about LSU--24 Days Before Xmas!

    TWENTY FOUR DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
    attributed to [email protected] (see posts below)


    Twenty four days before Christmas, in a state in the south,
    Les Miles was pissed as he opened his mouth.
    “Miles to Michigan,” was reported as fact.
    To which Miles responded, “Herbie you don’t know jack!”

    The Tigers had suffered a gut wrenching loss,
    At the hands of McFadden and the rest of the hogs.
    And Bo in his sweatshirt, and Miles in his Hat.
    Were determined to prove they were better than that!

    When the Tennessee Vols ran out on the field,
    There were ruckus applause from the mentally ill.
    Still in the locker room, Les told his team,
    “This season ain’t over. We still have a dream.”

    The hurt throwing arm of QB Matt Flynn
    Meant Ryan was the man they put their faith in.
    Then the fans all heard, what Les said in the Dome.
    “I ain’t goin’ anywhere. I’m happy. I’m Home!”

    The fans were still thinking “This might be a trick.”
    ‘til someone pointed out “Hey, this guy ain’t Nick!”
    The Hat took the field for this championship game,
    And he brought all his Tigers, and called them by name;

    “Now, Hester! Now, Early! Now, Highsmith and Putt!
    Let’s let ‘er rip and shut these guys up!
    Take to the field Men! Give it your all!
    Then later we’ll watch numbers 1 & 2 fall.”

    The fans still weren’t sure as to what team would show,
    The Virginia Tech game seemed like so long ago.
    But there in the stands, the fans they did cheer,
    As Perrilloux played his game of the year.

    While out in Ar-Kansas, the hogs claimed the boot,
    The tigers were focused on far better loot.
    With the game knotted up, Ainge threw a quick out
    But Zenon was ready and took six to the house.

    He wore a LSU jacket, and a white turtle neck,
    The same as he wore when his team beat La Tech.
    With the hat on his head, and a childish grin,
    Les put his team in the title picture again.

    His smile-how it widened! as Pitt won its game!
    He cheered Oklahoma, when it did the same.
    The stars were aligning, it couldn’t be true.
    Turns out Miles WAS destined, to play O-S-U.

    With a month to prepare and a month to heal up,
    We’re all pretty sure which team will show up.
    He ain’t going to Michigan, and we’re sure of that.
    But Tressel and the Buckeyes should still Fear The Hat!

    On December first, he called L-S-U home.
    Then set up the Tigers, to play again in the Dome.
    It soon will be legend, how Les started that day,
    “Can’t talk now. . . . I’m busy. . . . [Y’all] have a GREAT day!”

    I didn't mean to imply I'd written this. It was e-mailed to me and there was no attribution. I just loved it and thought others would, too. I am happy that you know where it came from.
