Besides that, Tribe football has been my only source of gridiron joy this year.

This inspired me to look up the meaning of those lyrics.

You guys inspired me to finally looked up the meaning of the lyrics to "My Old School". There's an interview with Donald Fagan in Entertainment Weekly here. (You might want to skip to page 4.) http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,1174152,00.html
And here's a summary that I've put together from various sources... Fagan sings the song to his old high school girlfriend, Dorothy White, who gives Fagan (ahem, half of "69") or "35 sweet goodbyes" before she sends him off on a train nicknamed the "Wolverine" to Annandale-on-the-Hudson, NY where Fagan would attend Bard College, which is sometimes referred to as "The William & Mary of the North". Bard's dean of students, Mary Sugatt, (the girl who "could be so cruel") worked with the district attorney, G Gordon Liddy (Daddy G) and the local police to snitch-on and to drug-bust Fagan's dorm and arrest about 50 kids. The bust happens on a weekend that Dorothy is visiting and so Dorothy also gets arrested, as does Fagan who is "smoking with the boys upstairs".
Bard bails out the students including Fagan, but not Dorothy since she's not a student, so her daddy has to bail her of jail (full of "working girls"). Fagan offers to take his increasingly bohemian girlfriend, Dorothy, to Guadalajara to avoid prosecution but she doesn't want to go.
Fagan was angry at Bard for its complicity in the bust and so he didn't attend graduation (when the whistle blows) and Fagan swears that he'd never going back to his old schoool. He also thinks that Bard doesn't deserve to be called "The William & Mary of the North". (So "William & Mary won't do".) Oleanders can't grow in New York's climate and apparently refer to cannabis (perhaps growing under UV lights).
Fagan eventually did go back to Bard 16 years later, in 1985, to accept an honory doctorate.

Good luck to him. Maybe they'll hire him because in private

Maybe he'll tell Furman (what we suspect) that Dabo has been meddling in the play-calling and making Napier look like a bad OC.
I really do wish him the best of luck for his sake, not just because I'd like Clemson to hire a seasoned, top notch OC. He seems like a good guy.

eventually stops. Even 'Ol Sack stopped, and his ego is bigger than Dabo's.
