Baylor Football: The Rebuilding's Just Begun (La La Land Parody)

     Another season of Baylor football is in the books. While it certainly wasn't the season I was hoping for record-wise, this season was always about so much more than that. I am excited about Coach Matt Rhule and what is to come. With that in mind, here's a song parody about Baylor football to the the tune of "Another Day of Sun" from La La Land. But first, 2 quick things to note:

  1.  In no way is this parody meant to take away from the seriousness and consequences of the events that transpired at Baylor.
  2. I know I made a Facebook post of this a while back. However, consider this a new and improved, full version of the song. Enjoy!

Temple recalls that day 
He left them at the Philly Airport 
East of Chesapeake Bay 
They lost a great coach 
And they all knew that this was true
Still, he did what what he had to do
Move to B-U 

Fall Saturday nights 
Fans got out of their seats
Right as they turned out all the lights 
Baylor football needed a new face of the program 
They called a coach on the East Coast
To lead them from a jam 

Some fans didn't know his name
Nonetheless, here he came 
Experts said that he's insane 
They'll have to see

'Cause maybe out in Wacotown 
He'll win one day, the spotlight's on
They'll see his face and think of how they used to doubt him 

He's Matt Rhule
He wants to make things right
While chasing the recruits that shine

And if they pick U-T
He'll get back to the grind
The final clocks winds down
And the rebuilding's just begun

I hear E-S-P-N
That comments from talking heads
That just never fade away
The mistakes and problems 
Made by leaders from before
They say Baylor should play ball no more
So it's time to make changes

And even when recruits say no
Or when the wins are running low
A new leaf and a clean program
Are what's needed 

And one day as Baylor rebuilds
A small town 'croot will come along
That'll be the thing to make him choose
And he'll sign 

Behind Matt Rhule 
He's trying to make things right 
While chasing the recruits that shine

And if they pick U-T
He'll get back to the grind
The final clocks winds down
And the rebuilding's just begun

And if they pick U-T 
He'll get back to the grind 

The rebuilding's just begun (x10)

Life Lessons Learned From 2021

Image
One of my favorite types of blog posts to do is a "Life Lessons" post at the end of the calendar year, a tradition that started in 2017 and continued in 2018 & 2019 . Ironically though, I never did do one for 2020, a year that had no shortage of life lessons learned. However, 2020 was a different year across the board (to say the least), so that is par for the course. With that in mind, I did want to bring back that tradition with Life Lessons Learned from 2021. Without further ado, here they are... Enjoy the ride: okay, so I may be ripping off a previous blog post that I wrote earlier in the year, so bear with me on this one. In the past, I've heard that mantra that it's not about the destination, but the journey. While that can be easy to write off as a cliché, I've started to understand the significance of that. This past January, as the Green Bay Packers postseason, I remember a beat writer for the Packers tweeting that no matter what the outcome of the

Lessons From Jonah

    18 years ago, VeggieTales made the jump from direct-to-home videos to the big screen, releasing Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. G iven that Jonah's story ends on a unique, not-so-uplifting note, it was interesting that  VeggieTales chose to make this Bible story into a full-length movie. That said, the movie  does end on a positive note with a musical number about Jonah's story and the lessons we can learn from it. Recently, I read through the Book of Jonah (both with friends at church and on my own) and I wanted to share my takeaways from reading through Jonah. Here we go: God Uses Us in Spite of Ourselves       Last year, I heard a sermon where the overall message was that God will use us in spite of ourselves and our actions. While the sermon itself focused on Samson and his life, Jonah is another good example of God using someone in spite of one's actions. When Jonah was instructed by the Lord to go to Ninevah, he went the exact opposite direction and set sail for Tarsh

26 Reflections

Image
      This past Friday, I celebrated my 26th birthday. While I wish some of the circumstances surrounding it had been different (you know, being in a pandemic), it was a nice day filled with typical Will-things such as walking, good food, good friends, and of course cake. When I turned 25 last year, I wrote a blog post with quarter century reflections. In honor of turning 26 this year, I thought I'd do a blog post with...26 reflections (this time in number form, as opposed to paragraph form). I'm all about being consistent with blog posts. Well, here we go! Speaking of consistency, that truly has been a lesson I've been learning; consistency is key. In all that we do, being consistent is one of the best attributes we can have. It provides a sense of stability to ourselves and for others. You can depend and rely on consistent, faithful people. We all need people like that in our lives, especially right now. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says that "For everything there is a season, a
