Christmas caroling: it’s a WAR!!!

Well, okay, that title is not actually true at all. But a few minutes ago, inspiration struck on Twitter, as I tried to find a way to merge my “the SEC: it’s a WAR!!!” meme with the hashtag craze of the moment, #RejectedReindeerNames (a rather stupid craze, although I thought my “Wolf Blitzen” entry was fairly good). Anyway, after trying and failing to come up with a good SEC-related rejected reindeer name, I suddenly broke into song instead. Brandon Minich quickly joined in, and by the time we were done, we’d come up with this collaborative effort:

You know Big 12 and Big East and Big Ten and Pac-10
A-C-C, WAC, MAC and Sun Belt and Mountain
But do you recall…
The most warlike conference of all?

SEC the puffed up conference / Had a very big ego
And if you ever heard them / You’d be sure to say “no mo”
All of the other conferences / Used to laugh and call them names
They wouldn’t let poor Auburn / Play ‘SC in the title game

Then with fuzzy math one eve / The BCS came to say
Florida with your sun so bright / Play Ohio State tonight!
Four titles later, the love-fest / Lavished on the SEC:
“You’re such a warlike conference / You’ll go down in history!”

It’s not my best work, admittedly, but I like it. But alas, I’m afraid Kyle Kensing has Brandon & me both beat with his one-line suggestion: “Then one foggy Christmas Eve / Cecil came to say / If you pay my son just right / He’ll win you a title tonight!” LOL!
