cmb23 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 As the 2006 season is ready to begin, I thought I'd take a minute to pen a poetic summary of the upcoming year... ---------------------- ODE TO '06 In '06 the Huskers will be back indeed, The backfield is filled with power and speed. Marlon is lightning, he needs no Luck, Glenn is pure thunder, and strong as F--K. The receivers are fast - have hands of glue, Many a defender will lose their shoe. Swift, Nunn and Hardy will be hard to stop, But look out for Herrian, he'll be back on top. At Quarterback a true leader will take the snap, A quick play-action and he'll set the trap. Taylor is ready to lead the attack, Opposing coaches scramble to try and stop Zac. The Blackshirts are filled with true heart and grit, You can pass, you can run...they don't give a S--T. Bowman wasn't quite ready to be 'one and done', So he's back one more year to fuel the fun. Husker nation will have their eye on McKeon, The opposition, well, their pants they'll be peein'. Carriker will wreak havoc coming from the outside, Into the turf he'll pound a quarterback's pride. The Husker brain-trust is scheming away, Billy C. and Norvell calling each offensive play. Defensively the coaches are unwilling to break, Led by Coach Coz and the big man John Blake. Huskers take the North and defeat all their foes, No challenge from Jayhawks, Cyclones or Buffaloes. A Big 12 Championship will be just within grasp.... Until Mack Brown and the Longhorns kick our Big Red Ass!!! GO BIG RED!!! Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 That was awesome ...except for the UT part at the end Quote Link to comment
TheKiD Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 that's great! my own gripe is that McKeon (mc-Q-N) and peein' don't rhyme so much Quote Link to comment
huskeraddict Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Revise the ending and you have a winner Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I know it is "Mc-Q-en", but for creative purposes it works. Plus for half of last season everybody thought it was Mc-Key-on anyway! Hey...it's a good pump up piece...with a bit of 'reality' thrown in to keep some of the over-optimistic (yes, we all know they exist) in check. Believe me, I hope the ending is wrong too!!!

cmb23 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm not the only one that listens to The Zone huh? That was my submission that they read on the air. (The C in cmb23 is Chad). Then I submitted some really lame mottos they could buzz, since my poem wouldn't qualify. Quote Link to comment

husker rob Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Very good ODE but lets all hope that the ending is wrong Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Like I said kids....it's just reality in my opinion. I was born and raised a Husker, so I live and die with them on every Saturday....but I also know when to put down the rose-colored glasses. Quote Link to comment
