On Christmas Eve I called upon some Mid-American Conference fans to help create a MAC Christmas carol. After an hour of awful rhymes we came up with this gem, enjoy:
'Twas the night before Christmas & all through the country, not a MAC game was played, not even hockey. (Finish the poem).

@HustleBelt until Jordan Lynch gathered the troops, and still no one was blocking

@HustleBelt Hustlebelt sat back all smug having used "hockey", turns out in the end all he was was real cocky!

@BigDaddyWol @HustleBelt and all Miami wanted was a win in their stocking
— Anthony Melchiori (@AMelch14) December 24, 2013
@AMelch14 @HustleBelt but Miami was sad because no one was watching
— Luke Wollet (@BigDaddyWol) December 24, 2013
@HustleBelt With the Huskies in SoCal, the Cards in Mobile, the Falcons in MoTown ready to take the field.

@BigDaddyWol @HustleBelt but don't forget western, their boat is still rocking

@AMelch14 @HustleBelt while we all listened to Coach English at Eastern, it was shocking
— Luke Wollet (@BigDaddyWol) December 24, 2013
Sort of like when BG stunned NIU in the motor city, it was a surprise, and for the Huskies it wasn't too pretty.

But all was OK as Lynch made it to NYC, where he came in third ahead of that guy from BC.

Then Buffalo got stomped, beaten blue like the field, and Ohio got rocked, by some Pirates without beards.
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
@HustleBelt Don't forget Akron. They were home watching the action!

While their basketball team was in Hawaii, spreading the #MACtion.

@BigDaddyWol @AMelch14 @HustleBelt Clawson left, Lembo stayed. We all wish Dri Archer had more Flash games to be played.

Though football season is closing there's no need for tears. Toledo, Kent St, Ohio & Akron are rolling as conference basketball play nears.
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
@HustleBelt They're not Alabama and they're not Tennessee, but someone tell Ball U how tough Arky St can be.
— HeHaithMe (@HeHaithMe) December 24, 2013
@HustleBelt Ohio just folded and Buffalo got clowned, MAC fans can't have these beatings going down.
— HeHaithMe (@HeHaithMe) December 24, 2013
But as the sun went down and Christmas morning drew near, all across the MAC lands fans gathered to stand up and cheer.
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
They sang songs of Heisman Trophy finishes & No. 1 Draft picks, as they wished each other Merry Christmas to the sounds of Craig Mack's hits
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
UMass sat on its porch feeling all alone, but the MAC invited its step-child in to its home, claiming the Minutemen as one of its own.
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
And together the 13 schools celebrated well into the night. With @JGuyMAC shouting "Merry Christmas all, and to all a good night!"
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) December 24, 2013
Merry Christmas everyone.
