Poem: Cue Rick Reiley

[FiveStarCulture]

The 2011 season seems to look bleak,
with a returning roster that is depleted - beyond weak.
Better hope we harness the magic of Michigan's fab five,
because the Mayor's city council is weary from the tears we have cried.

So on Calvin, on Demarcus
On Northern Illinois guy and on Wilkins....wait...
Anyways, if you play well you'll be on the Energy someday alongside Stinson.

So here is to getting to double digits in victory,
this isn't a bad mark
considering our recent history.

Show them the way Diante G,
Your the only player to graduate from ISU in the 21st Century.

Nice meter, mildly humorous, not a bad effort at all.

seriously, how about something that gets the old heart pumping?

Lend the eye a terrible aspect
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.
Set the teeth and stretch the notril wide
Show us here, the mettle of your pasture.

... you know, stuff like that.
