And another.......author Unknown......
T’was the day after the game for the Crimson and Cream,
And I’m wondering now was it all just a dream.
The girls are nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Watford dance in their heads.
With Mom in her nightgown and Dad in his shorts,
It’s no surprise from the screaming that Mom woke up hoarse.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
The newspaper guy says the Courier-Journal is here.
I tore the bag open just to see it in print,
The huge picture of Watford gave me the first hint.
It’s all very real, a right jolly old team,
And the smile on my face has turned into a beam.
The Hoosiers are back in a very big way,
A gift that’s not brought with Santa or a sleigh.
It came from the heart, with blood, sweat and tears,
A comeback that has taken us so many years.
From Crean cleaning house to the recruitment of Cody,
And the return to the program of the beloved Calbert Cheaney.
He did things the right way, not just a quick fix,
Without any gimmicks, no cheating or tricks.
He got guys who knew what it meant to wear stripes,
Even if it meant there wouldn’t be any hype.
So enjoy this win Hoosiers, it’s much more than a game,
It has brought back the glory of the Indiana name.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a great night,
And GO IU FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
