A Thanksgiving Wish for Curry College

Poem by: Mr. Hogan (A Poetic Artist at His Best)

The Curry College Colonels - will travel from Milton Mass,

About, 400 miles or so - they'll need a lot of gas...

For their destination is Rochester - and much to their dismay,

They'll head back home on Saturday - and that's where they will stay...

For the Saint John Fisher Cardinals - are not quite finished yet,

This is only Round 2 you know - and there's certainly more to get...

The Empire 8 League Champions - will represent their league,

Their school, their city, their families - with that pride and intensity...

We already know the Curry D-Line is really quite small - but quick,

They had my B'Ville boy Boltus - surrounded at the hip...

So knowing their strength up front - becomes that important piece,

That means the Fisher O-Line will be tested - which can put us all at ease...

That Offensive Line can go up against - the mightiest of all,

For they'll continue to wear them down - whenever we have the ball...

A little trap here, or a quick-opener there - will have them on their knees,

Then Kramer will go airborne - in that gentle autumn breeze...

Our D-Line ain't too shabby either - our defense is on a roll,

You gotta love our Linebackers - and that secondary controls...

So Coach Faggiano, keep 'em playing - like that fine old wine,

Just please don't move Becton to Safety - Leave him on the Line...

So all you folks get psyched - dress warm and be ready to cheer,

Because the Cardinals will be ready - they'll show us they have no fear...

And when the game is over, and maybe just by chance,

We rejoice our beloved football team... "This is the Big Dance"...

Happy Thanksgiving from your Cardinal blogger to the Cardinal Fisher family....a family second to none!
