Fair weather fans decry the weather too fair
to sit in the Dome, to waste time there.
To not hear the chants of "Let's Go Orange!"
in favor or repairing a squeaky door hinge.
Or, of leaves to rake or grass to mow
instead of screaming "War Damn Otto!"
Belief without evidence we are asked to accept,
despite many years of football inept.
Of history, of glory, of "Old 44"
they say we won't see those days anymore.
But...what of hope? Of something new?
We feel a tide rising, will they feel it, too?
A game played faster, faster than ever;
from meathead football our ties we will sever.
Expectations ill-met, mediocrity at best,
never more settled for, all put to rest.
Occasionally great, but not steadily good;
Can we be? Yes. We would, we could, we should.
Of the Fall of '18, I think we will see
that this was the start of our revelry.
No more lamenting crowd size, I'll wager,
no more fearing a loss to a mid-major.
A return to prominence, a bright sun after the storm.
Maybe, if we're lucky, a true and proper uniform.
So onward and upward, on victories we'll binge,
as we hear the Dome roar: "Let's Go Orange!"
