‘Twas The Night Before Christmas – Auburn vs. Alabama Version

Christmas came early for LSU fans when Auburn defeated Alabama last week. My friend Cecile who is a huge LSU fan sent this to me and I just had to share it! It's actually called 'The Night After Auburn' and was written by Brandon Reeves.

Twas the night after Auburn and all through the land, not a “ Roll Tide “ was uttered by a Crimson Tide Fan.

They used to be boisterous, they used to be loud, they used to be boastful, and cocky and proud.

But they lost all their swagger, they lost all their swing. For one little second had changed everything

The score it was even, the clock had run dry, when Nicholas Saban then started to cry. He demanded a second be put on the clock. The worst that could happen? A miss or a block.

But fate, it is fickle, and greed has a price, and what happened next just wasn’t too nice. The previous kicks, wide left and wide right, so he put in a Rookie, twas not very bright.

The kick was a boomer of 56 yards, but the extra yard needed was not in the cards.

And back in the endzone a lone Tiger stood, he caught that ole football, he caught it real good.

He started to run, he heard the cheers grow. The Crimson Tide offense? Too fat and too slow.

One hundred and nine, he ran for a score, if needed he could have run one hundred more!

The crowd it erupted while storming the field, the Crimson Tide's season was settled and sealed.

A cry of “ War Eagle“ soon echoed the plain.

Nick Saban's expression it gave hope to many except Gators and Ducks.

And in Tuscaloosa you could hear a pin drop, and in Tallahassee a tomahawk chop!
