Ladies and gentlemen, what was Gus Malzahn thinking?

a) Who’s the Smart guy now, kiddo? S-M-RT!

b) I’m gonna stay up until midnight and I don’t care who knows it!

c) It’s like Meatloaf said, "Three out of twelve ain’t bad!!!"

d) Party like the Freedom of Information Act request got lost, y’all!

e) They can never take this away from us boys! You know, unless any of you turn over your bank records or wears a wire.

As always, feel free to include your best guess in the comments. And...

Go ‘Dawgs!!!
