A WAC version of 'The Night Before Christmas'

Special thanks to Clement Clarke Moore for the inspiration...


Twas the night before Christmas when all through the WAC
not a team was a-playin' not even the furriest of gym rats
the coaches' stockings were hung by their chimneys with care
in the hopes that a WAC championship would soon be theirs


'On Jaycee Carroll' shouted Utah State's Stew Morrill
While Fresno's Steve Cleveland yodeled 'Go Kevin Bell'
'Now Marcelus Kemp' uttered Nevada's mentor Mark Fox
While Bob Nash grabbed and guessed what was in his gift box
George Pfeiffer collected as many gifts as he could carry
Greg Graham offered blessings for having forward Reggie Larry
Kerry Rupp's simple warning was 'just wait til next year'
"I'm not Reggie' Marvin Menzies stated without fear
George Nessman had already received his very own Adrian Oliver
'Please ESPN, please ESPN' begged Karl Benson the Commissioner


The jolly red fat man stopped at the house of each WAC coach
Drank the milk and ate the cookies offered by each host
Ol' St. Nick shouted as he drove his sleigh out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."
