4th and sixteen, A Poem

1

Jan 2, 2013, 2:15 PM

4th and sixteen, 4th and sixteen.

A down normally played by the Clemson punt team.

But, no not this time, no not on this night,

For the Tigers were down by two and time was quite tight.

So a perfect play Chad Morris did call,

And Nuk went to his knees and caught a perfectly thrown ball.

"First down! First down!" the fans screamed and shouted,

"I told you so!" we said to the ones who had doubted.

Tajh and Nuk had given their best,

And a few plays later, Catman did the rest.

So the Tigers claimed victory on a stage that was grand,

Being the only ballgame being aired in the land.

So if life has you facing many 4th and Sixteens,

Just remember it ain't over til the Fat Lady sings.

Just like long odds Clemson faced on that night,

You can overcome anything with a little moxie and might!

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Mar 16, 2013, 6:08 PM

haven't really tried much, but it seems you can't thumbs up a singular poster more than once in a single thread.
p.s. happy birthday.

4th and sixteen, 4th and sixteen.

A down normally played by the Clemson punt team.

But, no not this time, no not on this night,

For the Tigers were down by two and time was quite tight.

So a perfect play Brandon Ford did call,

And Nuk went to his knees and caught a perfectly thrown ball.

"First down! First down!" the fans screamed and shouted,

"I told you so!" we said to the ones who had doubted.

Tajh and Nuk had given their best,

And a few plays later, Catman did the rest.

So the Tigers claimed victory on a stage that was grand,

Being the only ballgame being aired in the land.

So if life has you facing many 4th and Sixteens,
