The Dabo

Early on the thirteenth day of the third month of the year of our football, The Dabo awoke to teach young men how to catch. But Terry had different plans for him, and the word came down from the athletic department that The Dabo must takeover the team and make believers of the faithful. The Dabo spoke out, saying "We will throw the ball down field, and our large men will stand with three points to the ground, for we must be tough." And so the faithful were pleased, shouting "All In!" The Dabo then said unto the students, "Wear orange, and be solid. For we will also wear orange and be solid." And so they did.

"Dress ye well in your
finest linens and jewelery."

And so went the week as The Dabo prepared the team for its battle with the golden jackets. When the day had come, The Dabo rose early and said unto the team "Dress ye well in your finest linens and jewelery, for today we will travel to the holy land beside the lake to do battle with the golden jackets." And the team did as he asked. They left the green city and rode toward valley by the lake. But when they arrived they encountered an impassable sea of Orange. But The Dabo said, "We shall approach the Orange sea at Full Speed, and it will part." And so it was. The Dabo led the team through the parted sea to the west end of the valley where they rested for the arduous journey ahead.

"Parting of the Orange Sea

As the time to face the golden jackets grew close, The Dabo rose and stood with the team and told unto them "I may not last many more weeks, but believe in me and I will choose you every time" And they ended the prayer, "Allin". With that, The Dabo gathered the team and led them around the valley to atop the highest hill, where he stood and kissed the sacred stone. With pride in his eyes, he pointed in the air to channel the spirit of the Danny and ran down the mighty hill into the valley amidst cheers of "Yabo Dabo Doo" and "Wohoo" from the the orange faithful, apparently seeking to strike fear in the hearts of the golden jackets.

The team followed The Dabo and gave an impressive effort. But the front wave of the golden jackets proved too tough for them, and his team held just short of victory. The day was done and the final score was etched in stone atop the mighty hill.

With the battle done, The Dabo met with a small band of scribes and he told unto them, "Worry not, because it was awesome." The confused scribes questioned The Dabo about the loss, to which he replied "There are no losers in here." After saying this he raised a cup of orange koolaid saying, "This koolaid is the new covenant of All In, whenever you drink it, you too will see that 3-4 is really 0-1 and not care about what the score-board says." And the scribes drank from the koolaid and were pleased. They then went forth spreading the koolaid for all to drink, and the faithful said "Allin."
