ode to hawk hoops(American Pie) Reply
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a long long time ago, I can still remember how Lute made me smile
and I knew if Mr. Davis had his chance
we'd still make the yearly dance
and maybe Hawk fans would be happy for awhile
but Febuary has made me shiver
with every backdoor the Wildcats deliver
a missed layup by us on the doorstep
Cully just took his third step
And I cant remember if Bobby Hansen cried
when he sat forlornly courtside
something touched Jess Settles deep inside
the day Hawkeye hoops died
so bye bye Hawk hoops pride
drove Deon Thomas' Chevy to Carver Hawkeye
but its empty inside
good olle Mac Macausland drinking Templeton Rye
singing Alford wins, hoops in Iowa City have died
did Ronnie Lester write the book of love
do you have faith in Hawks now above
if Sharm Schuermann tells you so
does Lick know a simple pick and roll
did a zone press save George Ravellings soul?
and can you tell Lick not to play so SLOWWWWWWWWWW?
well I know that Bartas in love with him
cause no ones in our empty gym
the crowd could fit in Acies shoes
man, I hate these Hawkeye blues
now for ten years, the other teams shooters have been all alone
and losses grow fat on Licks coaching tombstone
but thats not how it used to be
when Lester played and Bruce Sky King
and we had a chance at a conference ring
and while that jester Bowlsby was looking down
Steve Alford stole Dr Toms crown
and Carver Hawkeye was ajourned
no NCAA trip has returned
I met a coed who sang the blues
I asked her for some Hawkeye hoops news
she just turned and walked away
I went down to Gameday Rons Hawk store
where Id bought Kevin Boyles jersey once before
but Ron said Millard dont play anymore
and the three men I admire most
Woolridge, Horner and Kinnicks ghost
they saw Harrison head out to the coast
the day Hawkeye hoops died
