ayy im representin them purple cows this week and i gots something to say to all them other teams competing for second place this week…..let the thrashing begin
BILICANS: even though u paint yo face, it dont mean nothin,cause u still in third place. crazy how u suckas be hollin every game even though at the end your all left in shame, and whos to blame for your lack of game, maybe its the fact that yo masot is pretty darn lame. really, this is so elementary, we win and the bilicans cry and flee, probably runnin straight back to the nursery, but why, because they just lost to me. BURRRRRR
Uh o, im not done, i still got to tell the hilltoppers whos numba one, im gonna tell the story, so lets start son…. wow, u guys are in last place, not tryin to win, but tryin to save face. your mascot aint even living, which kinda explains why u aint winning. getting your but kicked has got to hurt, u aint the top of the mountain, u down in the dirt. heres a shovel so u can start diggin cause the purple cows are comin and your gonna wanna be hidden.
BANANA SLUGS: we got this game lock, we so utterly sick, we runnin this game like we got shocks in our kicks. why does your team even try, we got dat milky smooth swag that makes u wannna cry, we so far from the competition we cant even say goodbye, better get yo glasses for yo lil snail eyes, cause yo points is so little and ours are so high, i think its bout time for this rant to die……..
dont even try and top this or ill come back with more

The challenge is on.
Poem by an Observer of the March Madness Teams
There are four teams for March Madness,
Each represented by a mascot.
They’re waiting in the wings right now
To show us all what they’ve got.
They’ll come from the wings team by team
With mascots leading each in turn.
So let’s observe them as we see them
And predict what place they’ll earn.
First to walk out on the stage
Is a monstrous, hairy being.
Wait… what? Is what I just said right?
Is that really what I’m seeing?
Yes, it is, and not just that –
The fur’s as red as red can be.
The mascot (if you can call it that)
Is more of an eyesore to me.
If this represents the Hilltoppers,
Are they just as red and hairy?
From the looks of this team and mascot
I think fourth is where they’ll tarry.
Here comes the Billiken mascot;
Now what (if you can tell) is that?
It’s got a grin a mile wide;
Is it perhaps a Cheshire cat?
Perhaps it’s Spock from Star Trek!
Its ears are pointed, like an elf’s;
Ah, no, it can’t be – its round face
Looks more like Santa Claus himself’s.
What is a Billiken? Who knows?
In fact, its team is clueless too.
And for a clueless team like that
I’m sure third place will have to do.
Here comes the next – could that be Barney?
No! It’s really a purple cow!
Did it fall in a pot of dye?
Then how is it purple now?
I’ve also heard it likes to read.
Now, where did it get that knowledge?
Is it some sort of scholar cow?
Did it attend its college?
Are you confused? Well, so is its team.
The team may even be repulsed
By mystery on its mascot’s part.
Second place is all it’ll boast.
Wait! What’s this? The final team
Is coming quickly into view.
The mascot leading this new team,
Steps briskly to the stage on cue.
The team, Banana Slugs, is here
Following its leader forward.
The slug mascot walks confidently
And by it the team is spurred.
The slug’s identity is clear
The slug does not confuse.
First place is what the team must take;
For this team surely cannot lose.
P.S. Chuck Norris looked at the Banana Slugs the wrong way once. ONCE.

Everyone thought that we were down and out.
We were behind, losing much, but fighting hard,
we showed team spirit by eating bananas,
making the best cheer,
supporting our color.
ITS NOT OVER YET!!
we wont stop here.
we’ll beat you all again next week and the week after.
Psh, purple cows? since when r cows purple????
Billikens? psh. are we really going back to Alice in Wonderland?
hilltoppers?
banana slugs make sense…i think we ACTUALLY EXSIST!!!
so bring it on! u didnt think we’d win! well, think again. Cuase we came up from behind and we rnt stopping even once we are ahead.
BANANA SLUGS ARE NUMBER ONE!!!

This Goes Out To All My Hatah’s Out there:
I could be a real lame and put down yall teams
but ima raise mines up as we crush ya dreams
now listen up to to my rhymes as they flow like honey
and we do this non stop like the enegizah bunny
four teams competin to be the winnahs no joke
but when yall here this you be fixin to choke
ill try to make this quick so yall watch me do dis
if you lookin for a winner you best get wit St. Louis
we rockin dat blue cause will make ya sad
when we put dem points up yall bout to be mad
watch ya scores hit the ground as we take to the skies
we be fresher than ya fresh and truer than ya lies
risin strait to the top on the wings a Mike Wilmer
He a better teammate than Phelps is a Swimmer
Got my boy Mitch Kelly and my man Josh P
Takin us to first place stead of chillin at three
Over Theres my boy Goose and his rhythm is true
He took cancer to the ground now hes comin for you
Only thing I regret lookin out on my team
Is my girlfriends over there stead of livin da dream
now yall take a look around and ask yaself this
why you puttin us down and tryin to get us to miss
its cause you know your our teams hotter dan a fire on da sun
when we come up to yall ya best chalk it cause you done
I got my Brock Jones here and my Chris Hinkle there
These boys be straight jakced so yall best beware
While I wish we had Kurt and my man J-Maenner
We still flyin high like a big shiny banner
So yall make ya jokes and jus know its o-k
we gonna be da ones laughin when we winnin today
well Im fresh outta time but got plenty mo rhyme
and dont forget that our freshness is almost a crime
if you got somethig to say ill be chillin Ferilliken
jus remember one thing: yall cant touch the Billiken!
