The Night Before Christmas

[LadyinOrange]

Twas the night before Christmas
and on the VolNation
the posters were having a grand celebration....

 

[jakez4ut]

while dawgnation wondered what all the commotion was about?
Volunteer Hillbilly opened a bottle of Jack Daniels
and boasted "drinks all around!"...

 

[volmanjr]

"Our Season is done for,
but put your pity party away, one and all.
Let's get behind Pearl and his boys and cheer on the LadyVols!
And hope for Big Orange Glory in basketball!"

 

[orange+white=heaven]

...Then up from "the Endzone" there arose such a clatter
I sprung from my keyboard to see what was the matter...

Away to the window I flew like Foster,

Tore open the shutters and up came the 06 roster.

The Defense should be sweet, as we all know.

Coach Cut in place, the Offense will grow.

When, what to my wondering VOLNATION eyes should appear,


But a rusted out heep, and four tiny sheep,

With a sickly hearder, so eager to hex,

I knew in a moment it must be ol JMX....

 

[milohimself]

He was followed by a ho train, the usual scene
But still he looked gloom and indeed glum
Because he realized the girls in Tennnessee
Aren't quite up to snuff with the ones in Oregon

Up on the roof arose such a clatter
It was big Phil climing a ladder
He went down the chimney with the greatest of care
Hoping a big recruiting class soon would be there

Milo and 2345 hopped in their cars
and headed down to KTOWN to hit up some bars
They hit the strip and in the bar soon discovered
JMX was in the bar, drunk, with some bum's lover
They threw him in the car and headed out West
To show JMX the best of the rest
Since JMX was tired of Ktown meat
Milo hooked him up in Oregon with something sweet...

 

[milohimself]

But to his displeasure, his eyes did see
A bunch of 2 and 3 stars around the Christmas tree
"Where are the blue chippers I oh so adore?"
They replied "Get your act back together and there may just be more"

On Mustain, on Harvin, on McCoy, on Young!
To Neyland Stadium we would love you to come!
On Johnson, on Mays, on Tebow, on Smith!
Please help this program, it really needs more wins!

This was supposed to follow Lex's...

 

[Jmxvol]

you screwed it up, milo

 

[milohimself]

Rhyming takes time

 

[Jmxvol]

so....keep it going

 

[malinoisvol]

Its twenty twenty-four and there is much clatter
If we don't beat Vandy, it won't even matter

 

[malinoisvol]

The black and gold 'bout to be hung out
By the Storm Troopers of Tennessee,
As Danl says, " Never a doubt!"
