Syracuse football (Mandatory Credit: Mark Konezny-USA TODAY Sports)
Our football guru has another rhyme for us in his Syracuse football preview at NC State.
Hello Orange family and welcome to another Syracuse football preview poem
I thought about doing it Billy Joel style since his jersey hangs in the Dome
But the last two I did were done in a song lyrics style
And I figured that’s likely enough to last us a while
So I thought I’d go back and do this game in the original form
Especially since I think the NC State game could be a perfect storm
This could possibly be one of those games where the winner is bowl-bound
And the loser might need to pray others lose or they can actually win out
Wolfpack head coach Dave Doeren has been in Raleigh for 8 years now
He recently signed an extension and with a 55-46 record, you can see how
And the Wolfpack with have the home field at Carter-Finley Stadium
Which can seat 58 thousand and it’s not some quiet gymnasium
Their offense looks potent based on the all research that I’ve done
Senior Emeka Emezie is ready to catch the ball; Ricky Person was born to run
Can McKinley Williams and Stefon Thompson limit the Pack to minimalize their backs
And hopefully, Adrian Cole and Eric Coley are healthy to aid a secondary that’s stacked
Coach Dino Babers and his staff will be looking to make an impact this year
And I have no doubt this game is one that they’ll look to kick in high gear
If you want a quality bowl game, this is one you’ll need to finish off with a win
Or maybe if the Orange hasn’t lost yet, we have a shot at being CFP champion
It’s too early to determine the TV channel yet but you can listen on TuneIn or TK99
But tune in Saturday, November 20th, and hopefully watch our Syracuse football shine
I didn’t fit in a lot of local mentions since this game will be played on the road
Beak and Skiff should be winding down and for the game, Home Team Pub is a place to go
If it’s a noon game, after take your kids to visit the MOST, that place as the kids say slaps
If it’s later, try the breakfast at Rise N Shine Diner…I love their Big Daddy Pancake Wrap
Okay so that’s it for the Wolfpack poetry game preview with only one more left to write
We close out the season at home with Pittsburgh on what will be Senior Night!
