THE FIFTH
QUARTER
by John Marshall
Come on around all you Cavalier fans you
Who left a mere 12,000 seats vacant
When the nation's fourth best team came to town
"Well, there was a big weekend at Sweet Briar..."

You Monday morning quarterbacks,
You Saturday afternoon second-guessers.
You Saturday afternoon second-guessers.
You who have the entire play book memorized,
You who came back to school two weeks early
In August preparation.
You who came back to school two weeks early
In August preparation.
You who sleep your afternoons away
To keep in shape during practice
Obviously thinking and eating football all week
And staying in school at the same time.

And staying in school at the same time.
You who should be writing this column
"How could you ever predict THAT!
That had to be the worst—I've ever read!"
"How could you ever predict THAT!
That had to be the worst—I've ever read!"
You who can point out all the finer points—
"Never should have kicked then,
Give it to Quayle"—
To an admiring date and still manage half a fifth
If Steve Sebo or his henchmen don't catch you
Walking in with the stuff.

Walking in with the stuff.
After all, you've seen the pros on Sundays,
You know what to watch on instant replay
And why the Colts beat the Packers.
You know what to watch on instant replay
And why the Colts beat the Packers.
You even subscribe to Sports Illustrated,
You read Tex Maule,
You know the score.
You read Tex Maule,
You know the score.
You who've studied—not watched, studied—the game
and know
Coach George Blackburn must go.
You've seen that television show,
Talk of high camp.
How many men could make Chris Cramer
Look articulate in comparison
"Tell them where you went to high school.
And who was your coach. Tell the folks."
He just couldn't be a coach.
He's only won 42 college games
In a nine-year career
Of making a living of being a coach.

FIRE THE COACH AND SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.
Come on around all you Cavalier fans you
Get ready to make the kill.
Get ready to make the kill.
