My Ode to the Vols 2010

[casetopia]

Can someone post this in the Football Forum. I just signed up so it wouldn't let me.

I wrote this today in honor of tomorrow.

Hope you guys like it.


'Twas the night before kickoff, when all through the dorm
Players were studying, their playbooks still warm;
Their jerseys were hung by their lockers with care,
sounds of shoulder pads popping would soon fill the air.

The players were restless as they laid in their beds,
With echoes of doubt filling their heads;
According to the media they had no shot,
But there was something these experts clearly forgot
You see these aren’t just players,
They’re Tennessee Vols and they fight their hardest with their backs to the walls.

The season’s all planned so why even play,
The champ will be Bama or Florida running away;
Well someone should remind Dooley and crew,
That they won’t win no matter what they do.

Sounds really familiar,
We’ve heard this before
But these boys are ready,
Yes ready for war.

They say they’re too young,
They say they lack skill,
But there’s just no stopping
That Volunteer Will.

You saw it in ’86 when they said the ‘Canes can't be stopped,
You saw it in ’98 when the Vols finished on top.

So here we go again another season of doom,
Well we’re not going to quit so give us some room
You’ll feel it on Saturday with every hit,
These Vols are tired of being told they should quit.

So allow us to hit you and then help you up,
But don’t be surprised when the crowd will erupt
On Saturdays in Knoxville there’s only one place to be,
The greatest words ever spoken:
“It’s Football Time in Tennessee”.


GO VOLS!!
