Since you a person who appreciates literature ,I’m dedicating the
following to you.
The Ballad of UConn Sports
In a far away corner
of a land called Connecticut residents built a place for their child to educate .
For years tucked away Isolated , caught in a sleepy dream it’s most famous achievements were partying and ice cream
That changed when a man from RI with hope and foresight thought our school would fit into his plans just right
We struggled at first our best product excuses but Dom was let go to stop the abuses .Things started to change for the better when our AD got Jim to sign his letter ,he proceeded in taking us farther and farther in the sport played in a big hall with five athletes,two baskets and a round ball
The powers took notice and though it would. be nice if only this success like lightning would strike twice
Off we went on a this new venture, some thought a fools quest , we spent millions on a goal to compete outdoors with the best
Before we could even get our team started some members of our new family up and departed.
We stomped our feet and cried foul and to a judge we protested
It came to naught as the jury rested
Despite all our protest fuming and talking the family it seems
was just a dead man walking
It soon fell apart the fans they did smart alone and abandoned by all but two foe who just like us had nowhere to go.
To compound the disaster our AD the b****** , hired a local whose skills had eroded and thus begin
our journey downward without hope of returning .For the good old days our fans were a yearning .
When all hope appeared lost and the sport running up cost
We abandoned our home to go it alone .
Things. didn’t improve and only a few fans to contribute there was very little hope and no money to distribute .
Out of nowhere our AD had a whim, let’s go out into the coaching market and hire another Jim
Only time will tell if he will be the anointed man , who like Moses of old will lead us to the promised land .
