Sports Illustrated Curse Will Strike UNT

And Puff the Magic Dragon could be their fight song.

You're on to something. I can see the plaque as you're entering the stadium:

Fouts Field in a Land Called Honalee

Puff dies.

No he doesn't. Jackie Baker dies.

Wrong. Read the lyrics.

First, it's Jackie Paper, not Baker. Jackie Paper is no longer a little boy and no longer believes in Puff. Puff goes into his cave and 'dies'.

...(final lyrics)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more (adolescence)
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. (death)

Oh,

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Jackie Paper and other words in the lyrics lead to the belief that this song was actually about smoking pot.

If a dragon goes into his cave he dies? No wonder they are not around anymore.

Never did I think this day would come to the ponyfans.com football message board.

Never did I think this day would come to the ponyfans.com football message board.

I never thought I'd see SMU football go winless one season but it happened.

Just keep everyone out of the caves.
