Our football guru is rocking out as he previews the Syracuse football homecoming game against Boston College.
On a nice autumn highway, it’s Syracuse football day before Halloween
Warm smell of apples, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw the Dome with Carrier’s name
My heart grew heavy and my Orange grew dim
I had to stop for the game
I heard Boston College was here
And I was thinking to myself
“This could be Heaven or this could be hell”
Then I walked onto campus and the Ernie Davis statue showed me the way
There were voices headed that direction
I thought I heard them say
Welcome to the Syracuse football season
Such a lovely place…So many Orange faces
Plenty of room for fans to join in
Any time of year especially the fall season
You can find us here
The Eagles expectations twisted, some say good some say bad
They got a lot of pretty good players some call ironclad
Phil Jurkovec will lead at quarterback, Jaiden Lars Woodbey transfers to secondary
Coach Jeff Hafley returns as head coach, Travis Levy will get a good chunk of carries
So I’ll call up the Captains
Please bring me some wins
Josh Black will say, “We have that spirit here. So why not us?”
And still The Rhino will show our running backs the way
Mikel Jones will stalk you in the middle of the field
Dakota Davis will say…
Welcome to the Syracuse football season
Such a lovely place…many an Orange face
Plenty of room for fans to enjoy it
Any time of the year especially the fall season
You’ll find us here
New scoreboard from the ceiling
Labatt Blue is on ice
And Otto’s Army said, “We are all passionate here of our own device”
And in the Club 44
They’ve gathered for the feast
Dome nachos in their hands
And they cheer to crush the Eagle beast
Last thing you’ll remember, will be
The final score
Hopefully everyone leaves happy
To Varsity to flip a banner like before
Relax says the Orange Chuck
We are programmed to win this season
You can check out any time you like
But I will never not believe.
Let’s Go Orange!
