Football is here! It is that time of year that I love best: Football season. It is a time of the year when the weather cools down, dreams are alive, campuses are buzzing, and we can gather together to cheer or jeer the boys of fall. I love it. Honestly, if you try to put the TV on something OTHER than football, I might throw something at you. Football season makes me so happy, that I woke up this morning singing... literally. For me, it really is the most wonderful time of the year. It's 97 first-team All-Americans. It's a college football record, 57 bowl appearances. It's 32 bowl victories. It's 22 Southeastern Conference championships. It's 13 National Championships. At some places, they play football. At Alabama, we live it. So here is the song* that has been rolling through my head all day. It's the most wonderful time of the year With the kids throwing footballs And everyone telling you "Be of good cheer" It's the most wonderful time of the year It's the hap-happiest season of all With those Roll Tide greetings and tailgate meetings When friends come to call It's the hap- happiest season of all There'll be parties for hosting Wieners for toasting And experts all in the know There'll be great football stories And tales of the glories of Seasons long, long ago It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much tailgating And hearts will be glowing When the boys of fall are near It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be parties for hosting Wieners for toasting And experts all in the know There'll be great football stories And tales of the glories of Seasons long, long ago It's the most wonderful time of the year There'll be much celebrating And fans will be cheering When our teams win the game of the year It's the most wonderful time It's the most wonderful time It's the most wonderful time of the year... For college football is finally here! Roll Tide! (*The original song was from an Auburn Sports Blog: Track Em Tigers. I merely changed the Auburn nonsense to more appropriate & universal lyrics.)
