Twas the Night of the Magic Jack Bowl



Twas the night of the South Florida bowl game and all through St. Pete, the fans were all gathering for Memphis to beat.



With Richard, Joann, and Dad all nestled in their spot, admiring the super alumni seats that they bought.



When what should my wandering eyes appear, but green Santas descending from the third tier.



Their eyes how they sparkled, their speech so unclear. I knew then at once that it must be the beer. Their bells how they jingled, their stomachs oh so squishy. They'd ridden their sleighs up from Port St. Lucie.



As the scoreboard flashed 14 - 41, we knew that the Bulls had certainly won.



And so at nine we drove out of sight. Merry Christmas to all...it's going to be a long night!
