Inspired by the Elon #2 thread, but posted here in Coventry to maintain a safe space down there.

Please be aware that I am a member of the "negative posts on in-game threads are OK" camp, and the following song reflects that viewpoint. If you believe you may possibly be offended, read no further.


To the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

My name is Pollyanna, I know nothing’s ever wrong.
All fans should be like me, that’s why I’m teaching you my song.
I never worry even if we’re down by 22.
Our effort’s always perfect, and our shot selection, too.

Oh, SuperFans should wait to post until the game is over,
When the Tribe has pulled it out, and we are all in clover.
If you post a bad thought you’ll feel stupid that you did,–
When we’ve run the table and we get an at-large bid.

In-game threads should be an exercise in hopeful wishin’,
Not a place for awful vibes like you guys have been dishin’.
If Tanner S. hits open threes, well that is just bad luck –
Not ‘cause our defense had holes through which you could drive a truck.

Oh, SuperFans should only speak of rainbows and of daisies.
We’re the Tribe, we shouldn’t act like Cameron-ish Crazies.
If you post that lately you have noticed some regression,
Then you’re guilty of inflicting a microaggression.

It’s not just you – Coach Wollum will be hearing soon from me.
I heard him say, “The team needs to up its intensity.”
And Colley dared to say that one of Prewitt’s shots was “tough” –
Why do they let them on the air to say this hateful stuff???

Oh, SuperFans should wait to post until the game is finished,
Then your chance of looking bad is really quite diminished.
During games sit silently and wait – good things may happen.
(This creates the kind of atmosphere I like at Kaplan).

The below needs to be added to your song:

"This team apparently has quit on this season. Or we are tanking on purpose to get into the 4/5 game and out of the Hofstra/Northeastern bracket. Hopefully it's the latter, because otherwise we suck again."

And this-

"We are totally dogging it on defense. Awful fundamentally."

And this-

"There's no quit in this team. Making a run at the 3 seed. Hard to say we suck at 19-9. Great defense at the end of the game. Sound fundamentally at the end of the game. Well, the boys proved me wrong, again. Maybe I'll just control myself and let things play out before I slander a good group of people representing my school".

Oops ... my bad! That was never posted.

I will love you forever Blow Gym rat

I'll see if I can find a way to make those sentiments rhyme and fit into the meter of the song!

Rhyme and meter .... bad memories .... you're a better man than me.

:-)

For those with the stomach for more:


Some people said the team played like they’ve given up all hope,
Or maybe were attempting some pre-tourney rope-a-dope.
It’s good we’re here to tweak their nose and tell them they are bad:
They act like JMU fans – and that is really sad!

Oh, SuperFans are proud to serve as self-appointed prefects:
Keeping order on the board, chastising others’ defects.
Maybe we can cure them of that negativ’ty reflex.
No one should confuse us with those Harrisonburg rejects!

Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle aye, um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle aye,
[Key change]
Um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle aye, um diddle, diddle diddle, um diddle aye …

[Slow tempo]

“We’re dogging it on defense and our fundamentals suck.”
“The guys look like they’re zombies and the coach is just a schmuck.”
“We need great play for 40 minutes; 10 is not enough."
But Tribe fans know, our guys will show that they've got the right stuff!

[A Tempo]

Oh, AllTribeFans are making plans for Baltimore successes,
Also plans for Inner Harbor drinking and excesses.
If you look you’ll find me there, and if you do I’m buyin’ –
This year we will cut the nets – not in our beers be cryin’!!!

Well done!

Humor cures all evils ... a smile is better than a frown.

Following my Baltimore tradition, I'll see you on Sunday and Monday!
