What a game on one of football’s biggest stages

Thanks Coach Stew, it was one for the ages

After the pain and disdain caused by Pitt

Sent the whole State in despair and an awful fit

Then to the Mountaineers’ terrible surprise

Coach Fraud was just a wolverine in disguise

For money and fame, he stuck in the knife

When he committed to Michigan for life

On airways and blogs, the hatred did spew

Fortunately for us, we had Coach Stew

Quietly, he circled the wagons and rallied the team

While the State was caught in it’s unrelenting scream

Then in a blink of an eye, that nightmare was no more

As Owen broke free and rambled for a wonderful score

For that led to a night, that was never so great

Who’d a thunk it, WVU 48 Oklahoma 28

It didn’t take long for Kendrick to rain on our parade

As nothing but negativity and venom he made

This diamondback, this naysayer is really a bum

He’s nothing more than traitorous alum

He doesn’t understand, it’s the painter people know

A Rembrandt, a Monet, a Van Gogh,

The architects, I don’t think so

Ken, like Rod, your comments are lame

Welcome to the Mountaineer Hall of Shame

We’ll always remember the images of that Fiesta Bowl night

Oh they were a beautiful sight, led by the heroics of Pat White

All that yardage, we ran and passed to amass

From the reverse, I-formation, and FORGOTTEN downfield pass

Who’ll forget Stewart grabbing White’s helmet in joy

Or the Gatorade bath that he got to enjoy

Running or receiving it sure was glorious

To see the spectacular play by the speedster named Darius

Then just when it seemed we’d had our share of fun

Wasn’t it Devine to see Noel Run

Tito’s TD and point to the sky and on the phone with tears in his eye

Then there was Owen’s interview which made us all cry

While the offense was super, it was that defense of steel

Which was formed by a Coach named Casteel

Our big-D was so fast and so bold

All the Sooners could do was hang on and hold

The intensity of Dingle, that great quarterback sacker

Was matched by the play of Williams the linebacker

Their onside kick was so unbelievably weak

And was quickly covered by Ridwan Malik

The pundits, our defense they were quick to malign

No match supposedly for that huge Sooner O-line

But, they forgot to account for a guy named Kelein

Who would not allow those Sooners to unwind

The secondary was aggressive and so quick

Thanks to Andrews, Lewis, Mundy and Wicks

No we bask in the glory of that wonderful win

While others are still caught up in Rod’s terrible sin

On him and his ilk, we’ll put no bounty

We still have the heroes from Wetzel County

They define the words commitment and loyal

While Rod and his cronies disgraced us so royal

Have no fear, with Stew and Jeff at the helm

We are in for a long and wonderful realm

While the Fiesta Bowl wine was so wonderful to sip

Don’t be surprised to taste a national championship

Across the State and to every loyal Eer

“Happy Stew Year” and “ain’t it great to be a Mountaineer!
