Just a recommendation for this blog: You may want to pull up “Remember the Name- Instrumental” while reading this article. Believe me, it increases the effect. If it ends, repeat it.
Can anyone out there believe it’s November already? I can’t. I can’t even.
I won’t even beat around the bush. I wanted to make this blog as a tribute to all the Beaver Football Seniors that have provided so many memories for me the last 4 years. When they take the field for one last time, I wanted each of them to know something from me. As all of them are much bigger than me, can probably run faster than me, and may have trouble comprehending some of the extended vocabulary I use, I appreciate your understanding in why I wouldn’t approach these guys with these thoughts directly.
Dude, G, you’re probably going to rip on them just like you do with everyone else man.
Not rip, motivate. Encourage. Drive. Excite. Galvanize. And inspire. These are my goals. So…… I wrote a poem. (Crowd laughs). No guys, seriously, I wrote a poem for the football players. Here it goes.
Yo, yo, yo let me take a minute to show some love,
From two-hand touch to one more home game,
In come the Dutch, all red and white,
Will the Beavers take the game? I think they just might.
Spencer Ball’s momma ain’t got no socks,
I was there when she took them off,
She threw them at the creeper,
No one gets me more jacked for gameday than Alex Leeper.
Central don’t know what is coming with
Mike Adams in the middle,
Austin Gibbs and John Beck fighting to the end,
While #4 scouts from the sideline, Ryan Anderson.
Cole’s other half Greg Davis on the far side,
Bout to run a crisp route, shake and bake,
As long as Joe Krieger ain’t coming over the middle,
Makin’ a play like my boy, Drew Tate.
Schwartz may wear long sleeves for the first time in his career,
Until he realizes Cave doesn’t have any on,
But wait, Cave’s a tight end and wears #8?
As SlippyBeaver would say, “Pretty ill, don’t you think?”
Gotta respect any football player who wears #5 and looks as good as Gunner,
If he stays off Yik Yak on the sideline,
While Barrett gets my prediction of 3 catches and 25 carries
And could still put down a case of …… apple juice.
Last year, we thought Bobby Brown was leaving us,
Then he pulled a Grant Gibbs and was cleared for one last season,
Unlike Grant, Bob doesn’t chew,
And on Saturday, he’ll lead BV to another big time “W”.
(Drops Mic)
(Exits stage)
This is the beginning and end of my poetry career.
Meet the Beavs next week! Thanks for reading!
