Lexington: Waterloo or Hastings


This Saturday, The Big Orange visits The Big Blue
Young men scrapping on the turf of an Old Kentucky Home
For the victor, no Beer Barrel Trophy or even one of chrome
Border champions simply recorded in lieu
A heavy award for UT, me, or UK, you.

A gridiron rivalry since 1893 with the Vols’ winning streak @ five
Yet this season, the Cats have two SEC wins and Butch’s troops’ have none
In ‘50, Rocky Top beat the Bear, before he went to lead the Crimson 
Just last week, the Bear’s progeny pounded our team no matter how hard they did strive
So now, all roads and questions lead to Lexington, draped in Autumn pageantry and pride
Can our team keep its streak alive, start another anew, and will our battered coach survive?
