I always talk about how a band will last as long as the audience sees themselves in the band and the band sees themselves in the audience...

Well it's kinda that way in football too. They can sense your fear, and for what? Injuries? Part of football.

Those players have to run out of the tunnel on Saturday and see themselves in the crowd.

It's kinda like in my song, No Surrender:

Well we made a promise
We swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night
with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night
with a vow to defend
No retreat no surrender
 
Excuse me? What did you just say to me?

If you're going to insult me, at least get the album name right: Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ.
 
Bossman. Sorry to hear about your cousin dying that forced you to
cancel the show in KC. We were almost there! But after seeing you in Des
Moines we decided to forego in honor of the Hawks. I believe in the Promised
Land. And I've got a Reason to Believe the Hawks will get there. Your Iowa chant at the DM show was awe
inspiring. Thanks for following the Hawks. See you in Milwaukee. Our 10th show!
 
[FONT=&quot]I wrote up a little tribute to Kyle Orton a few years back, so thought I'd stick up for the Boss here.

With all apologies to the real Boss...


November Road (set to Thunder Road)

The final whistle slams[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Stross’s arms wave[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Like a vision McNutt slants through the green[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]With no time left to play[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dolph and Gary singing for the TD[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Eight and 0 for the first time only[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]They just made you lose at home again[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You can’t face bowl season at home again[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Hawks will run zone read outside[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Spartans you knew just what we were here for[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You were scared and thinking [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Hawks weren’t good enough to score anymore[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawks showed a little faith, there was magic in the night[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Our Offense ain’t a beauty, but hey it’s all right[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Good enough for one TD[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]You can roll-up your corners[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And load-up the box[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Run crosses with receivers[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Rekick field goals that were blocked[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Waste your summer training in vain[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For a wrinkle that might beat the Hawks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Well we’re no 5-stars[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]That’s understood[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We win by two points[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Whether the competition is bad or good[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]With a chance to win the Big 10[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hey, we can do it again[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If we open the playbook [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And let Stanzi attack them through the air[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Rose Bowl Berth’s wide open[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And this defense can take us anywhere[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We’ve got 4 more games left to win[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To make believers out of E-S-P-N[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Climb in back[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Hawkeye Express is heading down the tracks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Oh, oh, Get Ready for the Boom![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We’ll polish off Northwestern, make Kinnick East of the Shoe[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Oh, oh, Rose Bowl game, oh BCS[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The Bachelor’s lying out there letting his mouth run[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hey, I know he’s dumb, but we’ll change his mind with November’s run[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Oh Dr Lou, sit tight, get it right[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]November Road[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]We’ll we’ve got this QB[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And he’s playing without his backs[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]He’s undefeated on the road[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And continues to lead 4th quarter attacks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]From Happy Valley to East Lansing[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Through Pasadena to pick up The Ring[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I know you’re hungry[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For awards and for tokens[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But this year of the Hawkeye[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]All the records ‘ll be broken[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]There were tears in the eyes[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Of all the fans we’ve put away[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]They haunt the crusty old coach[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In questions framed in his burned-out post-game exchange[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hawks fans screaming their names at night in the street[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Their Rose Bowl hopes lie in rags at our feet[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And as November slowly plays on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You see Hawkeye victories piling on[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When you look at your chances they’re gone[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It’s a conference full of losers[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And we’re off to Pasadena to win[/FONT]
