Where was Scrappy Yesterday?

[Mean Green 93-98]

I'm in awe . . .

[meanrob]

I hate poetry,

But that is spot on.

[TheTastyGreek]

I hate poetry,

But that is spot on.

Limericks are just my way to vent

And express my growing discontent

I think all can agree

That the best poetry

Evokes a well-endowed New England gent.

I hate poetry.

I like you.

Best I can do.

I don't mean to be a fly in the ointment

Because for you and me, this is enjoyment.

But for those who earn cheddar

For a half-assed endeavor

Was this justifying their employment?

It's a wonder how anyone stays

With this decade-long non-winning phase.

Since we lose at this sport

It's of particular import

Not to screw up the weenies and maize.

I'm not one demanding coaching change.

Because I think success may be in range

I hope for on-field ascendance,

But mere cookout attendance

Seems like something the staff could arrange.

With the way the last eight seasons ended,

This event could help fences get mended

Are we building excitement?

It's a damning indictment

When not even our MASCOT attended!

At this critical conference junction

It's a sign of our program's dysfunction

When we need to build passion

In an off the field fashion

But I missed this with zero compunction.

It's as fun as a smooch with your cousin

When the team never wins half a dozen.

And though WE still attend,

I can sure comprehend

Why the rest of the Metroplex doesn't.

I'd love to plus one this

[oldguystudent]

So much Ricky V hate

Over what we all ate

On a Saturday late

Without our own tailgate

You know, things could be worse,

Man, I HATE using verse!

But if you want real pain

head down south for your game

Talk about earning cheddar

for a half-assed endeavor,

Son, it's bad down there, man.

We could be Cowboys fans.

In all honesty, you really did not miss much this year. Best part was just chatting with fellow Mean Greener's and a few of the players in attendance. My wife and I enjoyed the Varsity-Alum soccer match that happened after the Kick-Off Cookout more. If you had to miss one over the last few years...well, this would have been the one. Enjoyable, but certainly did not match up to those of recent years's past.

And right after a 5 year contract extension.

Nothing like complacency.

Pulling your leg... Kinda... ;-)

A bit more work needed on the last third of this couplet. Otherwise--solid wordsmithing.

*sigh* - not much to add really to this. If the Athletic Director doesn't care enough to make this an exciting event, why should the fans show up? Proof is in the attendance, sorry.

[SilverEagle]

I guess the event where the alumni and students come together in anticipation of a new season is not reason enough for Scrappy(s) to show up. Maybe we should have told them that it was a national contest.

And if the cheerleaders are award winners, they certainly didn't demonstrate it very well at the event.

And then there was coach Mac taking only enough time to walk from the athletic center to the sidelines to give the very sparse crowd a pep talk and then walking back to the athletic center.

Nice talking to you coach.

Any chance we ever have a soccer game in Apogee ? I think that would be cool. I ask because I don't know what adjustments would have to be done , if any.

Highly doubtful as UNT has a very nice GRASS soccer field. College games are often played on field turf these days, so I would never say never...and it would only take installing some temporary goals and marking the field. Apogee would make a nice soccer field/pitch, but with the Mean Green Village field being as nice as it is there really seems to be no real need.
