TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS... WHEN ALL THROUGH FLORIDA STATE...
JIMBO FISHER WAS STIRRING... THERE WAS A LOT ON HIS PLATE...
YOU SEE THE NOLES HAVE A LEGACY... A DYNASTY TO KEEP...
SO HE SNUCK TO DOAK CAMPBELL... WITHOUT MAKING A PEEP...
THE PLAYERS WERE NESTLED... ALL SNUG IN THEIR BEDS...
WHILE VISIONS OF TROPHIES AND TOUCHDOWNS... DANCED IN THEIR HEADS...
SO JIMBO GOT TO PLANNING... FOR THE TRIP TO A-T-L...
NOT SETTLING DOWN FOR THE HEAD COACH... HE HAD PLANS OF RINGING HOUSTON'S BELL...
BUT THEN OUT ON THE TURF... THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER...
HE RAN OUT OF HIS OFFICE... TO SEE WHAT WAS THE MATTER...
AWAY TO THE WINDOW... HE RACED LIKE DALVIN COOK...
A GARNET AND GOLD BLUR... TO TAKE A QUICK LOOK...
THE MOON RISING UP... IN THE HEAT OF THE FLORIDA NIGHT...
AND WHAT HE SAW... GAVE HIM A FRIGHT...
IT WAS THE HOUSTON COUGAR FOOTBALL TEAM... MAKING A STOP IN TALLY...
TO TALK A LITTLE SMACK... AND HAVE A BIT OF A RALLY...
COACH FISHER JUST CHUCKED... AT THE COUGARS BELOW...
HE KNEW IN A MOMENT... TO CATCH COOK THEY WERE TOO SLOW...
COACH FISHER KNEW WHAT HE HAD TO DO...
HE CALLED ON COACH HAM... AND THE SEMINOLE PRESENCE GREW...
NOW COFER... NOW BRANDON... NOW BEASLEY... AND BACON...
ON BELL... ON BOOKERT... THEY'RE THERE FOR THE TAKIN!
TO THE CORNER OF THE COURT... TO THE TIP OF THE WING...
WE NEED SEMINOLE NATION... TO DO THE DARN THING!
WITH A-C-C PLAY COMING UP... THE BOYS TOOK A BREAK FROM THEIR STUDIES...
AND SMILED AND LAUGHED... AND SAID WE HOPE HOUSTON'S FEELING LUCKY...
SO AROUND TO DOAK CAMPBELL THEY RUSHED...
AND TOOK A BREAK TO TALK ABOUT THEIR UPCOMING MATCH-UP WITH FLORIDA AWAY FROM THE TUCK...
AND THEN IN A TWINKLING... COACH FISHER HEARD THE SQUEAKING OF SNEAKS...
THE BASKETBALL BOYS... WERE NOT TRYING TO BE MEEK...
AS HE DREW IN HIS HEAD... AND WAS TURNING AROUND...
HOUSTON REGRETTED IMMEDIATELY... THAT THEY'D COME TO TALLY TOWN...
IN THEIR RED AND THEIR WHITE... THEY SCRAMBLED BELOW...
AND JIMBO JUST LAUGHED... AS THEY ALL STUBBED THEIR TOES...
COACH HAM AND HIS TEAM... AND THE FOOTBALL COACH LOOKED ON...
THE SEMINOLE NATION... WAS JUST WAY TOO STRONG...
STRONG LIKE THEIR DEFENSE... ON THE FIELD EVERY DAY...
MAKING POOR OFFENSES FROM OTHER TEAMS PAY...
WHY COUGARS... DIDN'T YOU KNOW... THE NOLES ARE THE BEST?
JUST 24 POINTS PER GAME... THAT'S ALL TEAMS CAN SCORE... WHEN PUT UP TO THE TEST...
SO THE COUGARS RAN OFF... AND JIMBO TURNED TO COACH HAM...
WITHOUT SAYING A WORD... THEY JUST STUCK OUT THEIR HANDS...
FROM ONE NOLE TO ANOTHER... THE JOB HERE WAS DONE...
AND JIMBO PACKED UP HIS THINGS... ATLANTA WAS GOING TO BE FUN...
SO HE HEADED BACK HOME... STIRRING NO MORE...
AND SMILED AS HE LOCKED UP THE DOOR...
SEMINOLE NATION STANDS PROUD... OF THE SEASON THEY'VE HAD...
AND A PEACH BOWL WIN... WOULD SURELY MAKE THEM GLAD...
AS AS THIS TALE COMES TO A CLOSE... AND AS THE NOLES HEAD TO ATLANTA ON THEIR FLIGHT...
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL... AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT...
