Our football guru rocks out in previewing Syracuse football hosting Pittsburgh in the 2021 regular-season finale.
A Syracuse football fanatic, he grew up in a Central New York town
Had to graduate from a high school in PA named Plum
But he grew up still loving the Cuse and grew up right
Despite those Pitt Panthers fans on those Orange/Panthers game nights
Well the ACC schedule closes out on November 27
Pitt versus SU might blow away the boys be more than they’ve seen
Both teams vying for postseason success hopefully groovin
Maybe Charlotte, maybe Indiana or maybe a bowl game to keep movin’ on
Last dance of regular-season action
One time to kill the pain with distraction
I feel winter creepin’ in and it’s almost time to shovel again
Well I don’t know what you’ve been told
But my positive expectations never grew old
I’m tired of the hate. I’m tired of all the doubt
I’m ready for the wins, I’m ready to end this drought
Oh my my…oh heck yes…hoping our Orange are headed to postseason success
Buy me a Dew, sing the alumni song
It’s Senior Night so let’s #BeatPitt and cheer the seniors along
Last chance for Josh Black
And all those seniors who came back
End of the season is sinkin in, and we’re all proud of them
Sadly no more Eli singing on Marshall Street
Playing guitar and makes us dance to the beat
But can still head to Varsity after the Orange win
Not the same without Eli but still a fun football tradition
Oh my my…oh my friend
We will miss you when the season starts again
You brought us joy and were a shining light
Thank you for hitting those chords on those Syracuse nights
Last chance to win a game
Win it for Eli and ease our pain
I feel bowl games creepin in and I’m ready for the thrill again
Rest In Peace, Elijah “Eli” Harris. May God guide you to find the joy in your afterlife that you brought us on game day in this life. Your passing at only 62 was unnecessary and you deserved better…we as a community deserved more time with you especially on our game-day walks to the Dome.
We lost you too soon, but you’ll always be a part of Orange Nation and our game-day traditions. It won’t be the same this year without you and your music.
