Limerick Friday #425: State Moves Fast To Land Its Man, Plus The Rock & Roll Angels Take Another


Even in coaching search events
Sometimes it all makes sense
Kevin Keatts was the ideal fit
Pack fans think he’s a hit
Don’t overthink it, just swing for the fence

Yes, the league was tough
But intimidating? A bunch of fluff
The ACC got bounced fast
Only the refs saved UNC’s ass
So save it with hard neighborhood stuff

So Eugene’s a traitor
Gregory’s a hater
Sasha went rogue solo
Rosita said “Oh no”
And Daryl showed up to save her?

They researched many others
But State got their druthers
They found one who wasn’t scared
As Wolfpack Nation prepared
To say, F you, Miller brothers

Played guitar like one should
No one rocked like he could
Revolutionized music, very
So rest in peace Chuck Berry,
Jamming with Johnny B. Goode

Limerick Friday #424: Top O’ The Mornin’, Plus Don’t F This Up, Wolfpack




Guinness we looked on with awe
Green was all that we saw
Thoughts headed Ireland’s way
On this St. Patrick’s Day
Blarney and erin go bragh!

Behind the ACC they did lag
Gottfried struck me as a ‘bag
Ending an awful year brought elation
Good riddance says Wolfpack Nation
Now a coaching search we must not gag

“Ole” defense he did prize
To recruits he told many lies
Coeds he chased
Took the money and raced
Can we hire some respectable guys?

NC State got caught with no pants
But after some coaching rants
Time to respect March
As they pursue Keatts and Arch
Here comes the magical Big Dance

In search of a less-brutal move
Can TWD re-find its groove?
A rom-com with Rick and Michonne?
Sight gags that make you groan?
What’s next, a zombie Boov?

Limerick Friday #423: Giovanni & Cranston Power Sneaky-Good “Sneaky Pete,” Plus TWD Trying To Find New Identity


He plays a con man cheat
Immersed in the role, complete
A cast full of underrated actors
Is one of the many factors
That makes me love “Sneaky Pete”

Needed a red zone threat
On Julius Thomas, they’ve placed that bet
Got him for a late pick
After Branden Albert hit the brick
For the Dolphins, an underrated get

In “Weird Science,” he stole every scene
Made “Aliens” worth every bean
On “Big Love,” he played a Mormon
In “Tombstone,” he wasn’t conformin’
Bill Paxton was talented, funny, and keen

America turning into a dump
Lies now peddled by the lump
USA bashing now in season
When W becomes a voice of reason
That’s all you need to know about Trump

A show that now lurches instead of glides
It’s quality rides with the tides
As obvious as a walker vegan
An inevitable battle with Negan
Did Eugene really switch sides?
