    If we lose this Saturday then it will be the Hank Williams classic "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry".
    But that will quickly turn into the Carpenters classic "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down".
    But my go to for Coach Napier has to be "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow".

    "If you're going through hell, just keep going...you might get through b4 the devil even knows you're there...."




    A couple of TP songs:

    "I'm down, but it won't last lomg...."




    You need rhino skin

    Behold

    "...You need elephant balls,
    If you dont want to crawl
    On your hands
    Through this world..."

    "...you need eagles wings
    To get over things
    That make no sense
    In this world..."

    "...you need rhino skin
    If you're going to pretend
    You're not hurt
    By this world..."



    Note--not coincidentally, those 2 Petty songs come from Echo LP, which he wrote while in severe pain/ depression due to divorce and drugs ('99). Fyi/fwiw.

    Frank Sinatra's
    "The End is Near..." :)



    And now, the end is near {for Billy Napier at Univ of Florida} :emoji_cry:
    And so I face the final curtain
    My friends, I'll say it clear
    I'll state my case of which I'm certain :emoji_relieved:
    I've lived a life that's full
    I traveled each and every highway :emoji_walking:
    But more, much more than this
    I did it my way


    Regrets, I've had a few :emoji_disappointed: :emoji_raised_hands: {Miami}
    But then again, too few to mention
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption
    I planned each chartered course
    Each careful step along the byway
    But more, much more than this
    I did it my way


    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew :emoji_disappointed_relieved:
    But through it all, when there was doubt
    I ate it up and spit it out
    I faced it all and I stood tall
    And did it my way


    I've loved, laughed and cried
    I've had my fill, my share of losing
    And now, as tears subside
    I find it all so amusing
    To think I did all that
    And may I say, not in a shy way
    Oh no, no, not me
    I did it my way :emoji_sweat_smile:


    For what is a man, what has he got
    If not himself then he has not
    To say all the things he truly feels
    And not the words of one who kneels
    The record shows
    {12-16 (6-11)}, I took the blows
    But I did it my way :emoji_money_mouth: :emoji_hand_splayed::emoji_wave:
    {Bye, Bye Billy!}

    Road to Nowhere- Talking Heads
    Even the Losers (Get Lucky Sometimes)- Tom Petty.
    This song summarizes how I feel about Napier. How can someone as incompetent as him as a coach, swindle that kind of money. He must have had a great lawyer representing him.

    Perfect! He did it his way, which in the end, sealed his fate.

    Pretty much the entire Fallout soundtrack will cover it.
