Syracuse Football: Waxing poetic on WF and where Krispy Kreme began

Our football guru is previewing Syracuse football hosting Wake Forest, with a little history lesson.

It’s time for another Syracuse football preview as I do it in poetry form

I know these things are a bit different than what some consider the norm

This time we head to Winston-Salem as Syracuse faces the Demon Deacons

Which is also the first place someone turned the Krispy Kreme hot light on

I went to a game with mom once at Truist Field which is where Wake normally plays

Sat behind the Syracuse football bench and told Riley Dixon the Heisman was coming his way

If you’re looking for a Wake Forest player to watch, their quarterback will give you plenty

Sam Hartman is back after throwing for over two thousand yards in 2020

And don’t let Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson’s record fool you

You go into this game unprepared and his team will school you

Many predict this team could be headed to a bowl game this season

This will also be a great test to see if Syracuse football will also ease in

Can the defense contain Hartman and the rest of their offensive scheme

Or will the 3-3-5 defense of Tony White be just a pipe dream?

I have faith in the Orange and the defense will be just fine as long as it’s prepared

And the offensive line gives our quarterback time without looking like he’s scared

I don’t make predictions but I’m hopeful we can win this game

And hopefully, by this point in the season, all fans feel the same

This is a home game for Syracuse football on October 9th so I hope we’ll all be at the Dome

But if not, I’m sure it’ll be on at Tully’s or on TK99 if you’re stuck with the kids at home

I know many will tell me that I’m crazy if I think we can possibly be 6-0 after this

But crazy is my middle name (actually it’s Edward) and #WhyNotCuse is my abyss

I never count my team out so I’ll hold out hope that Charlotte still awaits

And an ACC Championship is still an obtainable goal and our fate

But after this game, we have 6 days until Clemson comes to town

With a possible ESPN or maybe ABC time slot looming around

So until next time when your poet laureate of Orange strikes once again

Enjoy some Tully’s tenders for me whether you prefer Buffalo or Asian.
