Syracuse Football: Waxing poetic as we do the Hokie Pokey in Blacksburg

Our football guru is dancing to his own beat in previewing Syracuse football at Virginia Tech.

It’s week eight so you put your Syracuse football in, you take your Orange football out

You play the Virginia Tech Hokies and you turn your program around

That’s what it’s all about

You put the Orange offense in, you put the Orange defense out

You pass the ball to Harris or handoff to Tucker and they turn it into a touchdown

That’s what it’s all about

You put the Orange defense in, you pull the Orange offense out

You pressure Hokies quarterback Burmeister, you pressure in the air and on the ground

And that’s what it’s all about

You blitz with McKinley Williams in, you blitz with Rob Hanna out

You shut down their offense and escape Blacksburg with a win

And that’s what it’s all about

You put October 23rd in your calendar, you order Pavone’s Pizza for take out

You turn on TK99 or go to a local bar or maybe turn your own TV on

That’s what it’s all about

You lose you turn the hot seat on, you lose you put the hot seat out

You win enough games and a bowl game and maybe Charlotte are still on

And that’s what it’s all about

You put the Hokies struggles in, you take the Orange struggles out

You put a win in the column and turn your “mediocre” program around

And that’s #WhatAboutCuse is all about

You put in the hard work and you take the criticism out

You’ve got 4 more games left to prove to critics and some fans wrong

And that’s what it’s all about

You’ve read 8 poems now, you’ve got 4 more left before I run out

I thank you for reading this and supporting me along the way

And that’s what it’s all about

Let’s Go Orange
