Use similies and analogies to get your point across and to add humor and insight to your essay. Check out the example below:
Blaming the coach for UAB’s football woes is like blaming swizzle sticks for alcoholism. There are deeper issues that must be addressed.
UAB’s football program will only succeed when they make a major commitment to it. UAB has a successful basketball program because they built Barstow Arena and committed to becoming one of the top programs in the country.
Can you build a Hybrid Prius in a Model T factory? Can you go bear hunting with a slingshot? Can you swim the English Channel with rocks in your pocket? Would you enter a go-kart at Talladega? Would you send a man to war with a squirt gun?
Most football facilities are so advanced, NASA could have designed them.. UAB’s were designed by the Amish. A prison rec yard is better than UAB’s football facilities. They don’t play in a stadium. They play in a mausoleum. Legion Field is so old it was designed by Moses. You wonder where they kept the lions. Playing in Legion Field is like making the players wear leather helmets and practice the Flying Wedge. The last time Legion Field was truly updated they had chariots in the parking lot.
UAB’s football facilities are so outdated, they use telegrams to recruit players. What is UAB’s pitch to a new recruit? We might build a new stadium or we might not – come guess with us.
My point? To succeed at anything in life, you have to make a commitment to it. Hiring a new coach to turn around the UAB football program will be like pulling a water skier with a canoe. UAB wil not succeed until it has i the proper facilities for a first rate program. Until then they ae just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titantic.
