It’s NCAA Tournament time! On the men’s side (you heard it here first):
Badgers, Bearcats
Blazers and Blue Demons
Blue Devils and Broncos
It must be the season
Broncos, Buccaneers
Bulldogs and Cardinals
Catamounts, Commodores
Their fans lovin’ it all
Cougars, Cowboys
Crimson Tide and Crusaders
Demon Deacons and Eagles
Hope it ain’t “see ya laters”
Falcons, Illini
The Flames and the Friars
Forty-Niners and Gamecocks
All sayin’ “we’re triers”
Gators and Knights
Hawks and Hornets too
Huskies and Jaspers
Shoutin’ “we’re just not through”
Jayhawks and Longhorns
Miners, Mountain Hawks
Musketeers and Orangemen
Yellin’ “you bet we rock”
Panthers and Pirates
Racers and Cajuns
The Rams and the Rattlers
No, they ain’t done playin’
Red Raiders, Roadrunners
Salukis and Spartans
Spiders and Tar Heels
Not yet the Doc Maartens
Terrapins, Tigers
The Utes and Wildcats
Wolfpack, Yellow Jackets
Say “We’ll throw in our hats”
For this is the time
When the Madness begins
When 65 goes to 1
And somebody wins!
Bad doggerel solely the responsibility of the author. No real poets were harmed during the writing of this material.
Go you Huskies!
Ah, but which ones? That nickname is claimed by two teams!
And I see Cardinals, but no Cardinal!
I know, I know. There are a ton of multiple nicknames in there. Two each Wildcats, Bulldogs, Eagles, Flames (2 Flames??), Hawks, Huskies, Panthers, Wildcats and Wolfpack, and three Tigers!
Doggerel or not, I’m impressed.
I see the madness reaches far and wide… I’ve work for a Blue Devil and a Wake Forest alum, plus we’ve got folks from BYU, Michigan State and, of course, yours truly from UT. I personally am expecting the ‘Horns to bow out early, so I’ll be excited and surprised if they make it further down.
Steve – I grew up in Connectictut. Care to guess which college I went to? 🙂
This is probably the kiss of death…but….GO ORANGE!
