Who's Ready?

Saturday mornings. Painted faces. Fried southern foods. Autumn leaves. Tailgating.  Fred Smoot jerseys. Vick Ballard jerseys. ANTHONY DIXON jerseys. Adult beverages and pictures with Bully. 50,000 fans. 50,000 cowbells. Another sell-out. The chance of an upset. #Hailstate. The student section. Fraternity shirts and Nike shorts. No, cancel that. True Maroon, kids. Prime-time television. Captivating television. Heart-breaking television. Broken television. "Don't Stop Believing."

Refocus, rejuvenate, rebound. The Dawg Pound Rock. Touchdown cannons. Military pushups. Cowbell mania. Maroon. White. The fight. To the end. The kicker stands upright. It's through the uprights.

Broken uprights.
