Twas the night before Christmas, When all through Bronco Nation Not a creature was stirring but Drew, Nick and Kevan without trepidation; The stocking were hung By the blue with care, In hope Coach Pete Soon would be there. Bronco Nation were nestled All snug in their beds, While visions of the Muscle Hamster Danced in their heads; And Mama in her Orange And I in my Blue Had just settled down For a long winter’s snooze- When out on the turf There rose such a clatter, I "Venable" launched To see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like T. Young, Tore open the shutters And threw up the sash. The stadium lights on the breast Of the freshly installed blue, Gave a luster of midday To objects below; When, what to my wandering eyes Should appear, But a Blue and Orange Bus Full of Bronco cheer, Coach Pete was the driver So classy and smart The greatest of coaches, The greatest by far. More rapid then eagles His players they came, Blue collar and gifted, And he called them by name- Now, Martin! Now Avery! Now, Pettis and Paul On, Tevis! On, Titus! On, Efaw and Moore! To the top of stadium To the top of the Hall To the End Zone! To the End Zone! To the end Tone they Go! As style points count Let the wild trickeration fly. When met with an obstacle Overcome it they will, As I drew in my head And was turning around, To the award room Coach Pete Came with a bound. He was dressed all in blue From his head to his foot. From the start we knew we had nothing to fear Just look at his playbook, so fast and so quick. He gets great effort from his team, As we are a family they beam. A bundle of awards and trophies He had flung on his back, And the haters looked on with Jealousy as he opened his pack. His eyes how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! O’ he made haters red, With a lot of envy! His team was overrated The haters would say After all they had a weak schedule Sisters of the poor they would play. Bleymaier will say schedule us if you dare, Home and home will be fair. They laughed and they laughed As they said HELL! No way, Just look what happened to Virginia Tech And Oregon twice they daresay. We will lose to you and our National champion hopes, will flutter away. He gave no declaration, But went straight to work, Win after win made the trolls really lurk. Two fiesta bowl victories stacked at the top Twelve straight against Idaho, Make’s the success non-stop. The biggest box of all, He set aside from the others, Smiled and stated "don’t open until next fall." And laying his finger Aside of his nose, And giving a nod Up the chimney he rose. He jumped on the bus, To his team gave a whistle, And they all drove away Like the down of a thistle. But I saw as they drove The Dork Assassin lifted, His pistols double fisted, And stated "Merry Christmas to all, Do not despair, just wait to see Where we are, This time next year!" Merry Christmas, Bronco Nation.
