The count is down to twelve. Twelve days between us and the return of college football. It's an exciting milestone, because it is entirely possible someday, someone will write a song called 'The Twelve Days of Football' to help us with the final countdown. Alas, it will not be me, because I do not like that Christmas carol one bit. The only version I will tolerate is this one, the Musicological Journey Through the Twelve Days of Christmas:

Days are left before we suit up to clobber Temple.
Now, some of you may not recognize this man. One Ricky Watters, later of the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles, he played for the Irish from 1987 to 1990.

And get excited for football. Only twelve days away.
