Twas the Night Before Christmas (Bucknuts version)

Short Title: Football(Washington)

'Twas the night before Washington, when all through this board,
Mililani wasn't posting, nor a guy name Tibor.
The flamers were humbled by some posts from Paul,
while banning ObjectiveCane was welcomed by all.

CKYBuckeye was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of Quad Script Ohio danced in his head,
And Susan in her 'kerchief, and DieHard in his cap,
Were about to click Shut Down before taking a nap.

When out on the Internet there arose such a clatter,
We halted our log off to see what was the matter.
Away to BuckNuts we flew like Chris Gamble,
Clicked on the last post, our rooms in a shamble.

I prayed as the window came up like a flash,
Swore softly as I read, for it made me gasp.
The red letters on the screen, with a background of gray,
Gave the luster of Game-Day to the menu that day.

When, what to my bleary eyes should appear,
"Suspension games announcement day is here."
With a little old writer, but strong as a tiger,
I knew in a moment is must be A. Geiger.

More rapid than reporters his coaches they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name;
"Now Tressel! now, Conley, now Daniels and Johnson!
On, Fickell! On, Spencer! on Tucker and Bollman!

To the top of the Big Ten! to the top of the poll!
Now stand aside! stand aside! stand aside all!"
As wild rumors before Hurricane fans fly,
When they meet with the truth, claim it's a lie;

So up on the screen, rumors were shot down,
Starting of course with the New York Times clown.
"This is not even relevant, Maurice did nothing wrong.
More stories like this crud, and he won't be there long."

"As I drew up my response to the NCAAs,
Headlines say 'Mo Suspended Six Saturdays'
"I told them on Friday, how this all would work!
Who wrote that headline is the world's biggest jerk!"

A bundle of press releases he had flung on his back,
And he looked like Will Smith after making a sack.
His eyes-how they twinkled! his head was not hairy!
His cheeks were like roses, 'cause he just drank some sherry!

"The car that was borrowed and robbed by a thief
is the incident you read about with utter disbelief.
Again this is not relevant. Maurice committed no crime.
He was the victim, of media slander and slime."

At this point, there was a link to a web page,
but the only response was my utter rage.
I clicked it, I typed it, I searched it, no luck,
I hit the Reply button to tell him it sucked.

But I saw his response, as he signed off that night,
"For the rest of the announcement, join our premium site."
