WildcatDad shared this the spring of 2005. Enjoy.

The dry spell is nearly here,
SPRING football is finally here
The guys are in the Weight Room
Sweating in the 'Cool Gear'

Free weights rest in' on the floor
Barbells in the rack
Muscles getting definition
Fearless Friday full of Smack.

Who will be the Leader,
Who's bringing up the Rear
Die hard fans posts their favorites
Man ,football season is almost here.

Prison won the title in 2004
They're talking of a repeat
HA, CHARLESTON and JC have other plans
Rison ......Will be beat.

But Championships are just given
To those who think they are good.
It's earned by guys who give full measure
Of sweat and tears and blood.

So put your pads and helmet on
The Armor for your fight
And fight for all the Glory
Underneath the Friday Night Lights.

Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it (especially knowing who won the state championship that year!)

No I got it. I was trying to make a joke that obviously fell flat

Its all good 12th man. Great words and spirit from Wildcat Dad though (and Lions84 for bringing them back). That's actually the first time Ive seen that.
