Syracuse Football: Waxing poetic in previewing Orange at Ohio
By Chuck Fiello
Our Syracuse football fan of all fans is having some fun in previewing the Orange game at Ohio.
I’d like to share with you a Syracuse football idea different from what some consider the norm
It’s a preview of each football game this season in poetry form
I hope you like it and don’t find it too corny or find them a bore
Because according to the schedule after, I’ve still got about eleven more
Now Syracuse football opens at Ohio University on September 4th and I’m getting teary
To start the season as part of what they call a home and home series
I know some fans are skeptical after last season, many excited
I truly believe this season the negative aspects will be righted
Playing a MAC team on a Saturday not a Tuesday or a Monday
Did you know one person who attended Ohio was Polk High’s leading rusher Al Bundy?
Ohio has a new head coach this season…his name is Tim Albin
Which means it’s hard to predict but hopefully ‘Cuse can win
Ohio also has a quality running back named De’Montre Tuggle
Which means our rush defense might have quite a struggle
These teams last played each other back in 1921
Syracuse is 2-0 but the Roaring Twenties are done
Tommy DeVito will be out to prove he deserves to start
And Taj Harris could possibly be the all-time leader in yards
I fully expect Coach Dino Babers and staff to be ready for this game
And come in prepared ready to begin 2021 with a bang
The game will be televised at 7 pm on the CBS Sports Network
Or if you can’t watch, stream it on TK99 locally at home or at work
It’s the Orange verse the Bobcats and a battle for pride
And I’m settled in and excited to go along for the ride
This concludes my “Opponent Preview Poem” for week one
See you next time when I’ll preview Rutgers…should be fun.
