University of Michigan begins most epic Twitter Thread
It's slow so thought I would share.
This is the time of year when many people do their best to put their differences aside and just let the holiday spirit consume them. That’s exactly what happened when the University of Michigan tweeted out a photo of the “Big House” covered in snow with the message, “‘Twas the night before Christmas…”
But what happened next was absolutely amazing.

Very well done by all the schools that joined in.
Happy holidays everybody!
Go Blue!
December 26th, 2017 at 10:07 AM ^
What's awesome is that it was done by schools all across the country, large and small, across all divisions. Not just the big programs.
Top marks, all.
December 26th, 2017 at 12:15 PM ^
That's what I like about it, you've got programs like PSU following along from Illinois State and South Carolina replying to Austin Peay.

"the prancing and pawing of each little hoof"
Because of course they did.

Was enjoying twitter thread until Pedo State joined in. Zero self-awareness by that school - of all the lines to write - "the prancing and pawing of each little hoof"
December 26th, 2017 at 12:20 PM ^
Why?
I mean seriously, I see the comic irony but it isn't like the line refers to child molestation and that connection is a massive stretch.
I'm all for calling for harsher punishments and am as disgusted as anyone about the lack of introspection at PSU, however I am little tired of the "OMG I SAW A LITTLE KID IN THE STANDS AT BEAVER STADIUM, HE'S PROBABLY BEING MOLESTED" hysterics.
December 26th, 2017 at 12:37 PM ^
December 26th, 2017 at 12:16 PM ^
Bah humbug to anyone that made that connection. Come on folk, not everything PSU is evil - that was a cool Twitter thread!
December 26th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
December 26th, 2017 at 1:29 PM ^
If they had done the one about the kids being snuggled in bed, maybe
but the line is about fucking deer, man. You're taking issue with it because it has the word "little" in it.
December 26th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
I'm not saying BAN PSU from everything forever...just saying they have zero self-awareness. If I'm the only one that caught this at first glance, perhaps I am to be called out for being overly sensitive / looking for a reason to crap on PSU.
But I think others might have found it at least a bit cringe-worthy as well. Lots of lines to choose from - choose something about the snow or St. Nick, not one that could sound like a little child trying to get away.
December 26th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
I laughed way harder than I should have once I saw that little detail. You're a sick man, Hatter.
December 26th, 2017 at 8:07 AM ^
Leaders and Best! Hail.
December 26th, 2017 at 8:23 AM ^
Very awesome indeed.
I admit, I laughed possibly harder than I should have at UCF's edit of "new fallen snow" to "freshly cut grass".
Well done by all.

Extra cerdit to Indiana to come up with the idea to complete the poem.
December 26th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
The fact that Delaware ends it means it started and ended with the best helmet in football.
December 26th, 2017 at 8:51 AM ^
normally when I click a link that says that i'm very dissapointed.
This was great, thanks!

December 26th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Only if you went to Scottsdale CC.
December 26th, 2017 at 9:04 AM ^
That made my day. Nothing better than collegiate athletics. Go Blue from Steubenville Ohio. Roll red roll. Steubenville big red that is. Fuck pretty much every other team that is red

December 26th, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
December 26th, 2017 at 9:09 AM ^
That was great. Question though: do you think that was planned ahead of time or spontaneous?
December 26th, 2017 at 9:33 AM ^
the moment
December 26th, 2017 at 10:13 AM ^
Based on the random hodge podge of schools and some of the quickly forced puns, it looks spontaneous.
Which is awesome.
December 26th, 2017 at 12:26 PM ^
I don't think it could have been totally organic, or else there would have been a mad dash of athletic depatments trying to get the next line of the poem and that doesn't appear to have been the case. Very few combo breakers.

My thought is the list of replies is too varried across divisions, conferences, size of schools, rivals, etc. to be coordinated. This just appears to be someting which went viral among athletic departments

That was great - what a wonderful idea for the Christmas season. Go Blue!

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
Mississippi State missed a real opportunity on that one.
December 26th, 2017 at 12:08 PM ^
Given the gif that was posted for that line, I was hoping it was edited to "when out on the court..."
December 26th, 2017 at 10:06 AM ^
December 26th, 2017 at 10:12 AM ^
+1 Insightful.

You've witnessed something that could not have happned 25 years ago . . .
That's cool.
