As the legendary Jim Nance would say, it’s a tradition unlike any other.
No, not the Masters. Though we’ll get there soon enough.
I’m talking about our annual Valentine’s Day verse collection for SEC sports fans. Yes, love is floating in the air, like the smell of desperation around Knoxville or the odor of cheap cologne and corn dogs wafting through Baton Rouge. Can you feel the love?
As always, feel free to enchant us with your own poetic stylings in the comments.
Roses are red.
I love you my dear;
But also that was likely,
Billy Napier’s best year.
Roses are red.
You wait in a lobby;
For the fourth year running,
Heupel made Vols say “Dammit, Bobby!”
Daisies are yellow,
And Bama grads slow;
How embarrassing to end up,
In the Reliaquest Bowl.
Roses are red,
And even with a title ring
Ryan Day still looks like a guy
Who runs his dad’s used car lot.
(Sorry, still working on that one, but I think by next year it should be really snappy.)
Violets are purple,
Chocolate is sweet.
The best Tech team in two decades,
Still left Athens in defeat.
Tulips come in shades
Reds, yellows, even pinks
Soon former Sooner coach Venables,
Will be on the golf links.
Roses are red,
Our thread’s at an end;
Still amazed Hugh Freeze,
Isn’t sponsored by Nord VPN.
As always, we love each of you readers more than a Tech fan loves his calculus notes, and almost as much as a Clemson fan loves his favorite pair of overalls. Until later….
Go ‘Dawgs!!!!
