Gather 'round children, and let me tell the classic tale of the Bulldogs late night travels to M.M. Roberts Stadium.
'Twas the night game at Southern
and all through my house
not a member of my family stirring
especially my spouse
the shotguns were stored
by the front door with care
in hopes that my daughter's boyfriend
would not sneak in there
the young children were nestled
all snug in their beds
while visions of Shumperts
danced in their heads
my buddy Tyler with his sixpack
and I in my cap
had just settled in for the early game recaps
when on my tv there arose such a clatter
I turned up the volume to see what was the matter
away to ESPN I flew like a flash
just in time to see a long 'Bama TD dash
with the Tide up big and set to rollin'
I killed a few moments watching some movie with Josh Brolin
for the game that I wanted so desperately to appear
was still an hour from kickoff; MSU football: not yet near
Some late Pac-12 action helped the time to pass quick,
And finally, oh finally, it was time for first kick.
