Twas the Night of Homecoming (Part Two: The Game)

Halftime ended and the game continued to pursue

The mean green continued to be through and through

They fought a hard fight and stuck it out till the end

But unfortunately came up short and did not win

The crowd drew silent and still

In everyone’s eyes the tears did fill

We put our eagle claws in the air

And sung our alma mater with love and care

But despite the painful loss that came

Homecoming is not about a game

Homecoming is about meeting friends both old and new

That have come back to see UNT and you

For the friends you make in college you never forget

The past experiences you shall never omit

And though everyone moves away

You always come back for homecoming day

And so as I sit at this bonfire a year later

Growing wiser and ever greater

Realizing how time has come to past

Knowing college is never going to last

And like my friends of old and new

There will be a time when I must also bid UNT an adieu

The End

Fight the Good Fight

Ya Boy Archie Wright!

Twas the Night of Homecoming (Part 1)

So gather round young an ol’ its that time of year

To come back to your alma mater and give a good cheer

Now listen to this great tale that I will tell

It all starts on Friday night with the sound of a bell

 

The sound rings out starting on Frat Row

Like sirens so everyone in the dorms would know

That the great bonfire was about to begin

And it was time to give our team hopes that they'd soon win…

 

Twas the night of homecoming and all through Fout’s Field

Not a fan could stay calm because of the thrill.

The fans were alive with no type of fear

In hopes that their Mean Green would soon be here.

 

The band played the fight song with such cheerful devotion

In hopes that it would ignite the fans emotion

And just when I thought that it could not come sooner

I heard the scariest sound that came from “The Boomer”

 

The Mean Green had run out onto field.

Running as if nothing would cause them to yield

The players gathered together on the sideline

While the refs tossed the coin looking for a sign

 

As the ref blew the whistle, the fans rose to their feet

And put up the eagle claw for the other team we would defeat

No sooner than the start of the football team’s run

The ball was kicked off and the game had begun

 

To be continued… (Part Two: The Game)

 

Fight the Good Fight

Ya Boy Archie Wright!
