Ode to Simon Reeves
Simon Reeves, you are the man
The 3 star recruit, you ran and ran
You came to UTEP when we were a one star team,
You couldn't catch, but you could run like a sunbeam
A stop gap for the plan,
all the HB's in the class gave us the pan,
I told you if you came to UTEP you'd be THE man,
and you ran and ran and ran
I couldn't redshirt you because I needed your speed
How little did I know you could lead,
Running inside, outside, and the option
You caused quite an NCAA conniption
Two Heisman's and an NC later,
The 3 star recruit who couldn't catch a 'tater
ran through defenses like the shaving cream commercials
who could have ever known you'd give defenses facials
Let's raise a glass to Simon Reeves,
now making millions in the NFL.
Although you fumbled many times to start the second half of games,
To UTEP, and this coach, yours is of the most hallowed names.
The 3 star recruit with the 4.22 speed,
hands of lead but blocking schemes you could read
The four year starter who never threatended to go pro on me
I love you, man.
(and Simon, thanks for getting me the Florida job!)
