Limerick Friday LXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI: World Cup Fever Isn’t That Communicable, Plus John Calipari Is Giving Pete Carroll A Long, Slow Clap


As millions chant cheers in the dark
The difference in popularity is stark
World Cup fever has struck the UK
While yawns roll over the USA
Me? I’m just saying, “Go Denmark!”

Expansion has beset the NCAA
Money-grubbers are here to stay
For relevance, the Big 10 does grasp
Nebraska bolted to the Big 12’s gasp
Just declare it semi-pro and move on today

Nearly half a century without a champ
Now millions in Chicago can yell and stamp
They invaded the City of Brotherly Love
And said, “Up your ass, why don’t you shove”
Then in OT, the Blackhawks lit the lamp

They called him the “Westwood Wiz”
Back when it was a game, not a biz
He couldn’t quite top the Pack
But his heart, the game does lack
RIP … basketball will always be his

The Trojans have been cheating for years
Pete Carroll and his steroid-infested queers
Now that he’s gone to Seattle
On LA, the NCAA has waged battle
As Tim Floyd and Reggie Bush laugh over beers

Last time
