King Jake’s Final Stand

4 years, it will take
but a legend, he will make
Countless hits, he will rake
and records, he will break

Rebel hearts, they will ache
from the 14 L’s, they will take
Their tears, they aren’t fake
as they fill, Swayze Lake

The Dude, it will shake
the ground, it will quake
So don’t miss it, for God’s sake
It’s the Final Stand, of King Jake




Let’s 17in fill the stadium until it pops. Thunder and Lightning might have statues, but they didn’t finish the job, Jake has a chance to be the #1 Bulldog of all time, regardless of sport. I believe in poetic endings, this just feels right. We will not lose another game, it’s time to win it all, it’s Jake’s destiny, and let’s do everything along the way to help him fulfill it. No 17in excuses this weekend, be there! Idgaf if you don’t wanna stand the whole time, why the hell would you be sitting at a Super Regional in the first place? 9,000 Sunday night sounded like 20,000 with the way the new stadium design puts folks on top of the field, like right there, all the way around the whole thing. I can’t imagine what 15,000+ would sound like. Jake deserves this kind of send out.

Don’t 17in miss it, excuses are for losers.

Reminded me of the eulogy in the movie 'Mr. Deeds':

For goodness sake, let's have some cake.

Reading that I had a lyric from an older country song pop in my head.

Feed Jake, he's been a good dog.

Jake has earned a lifetime pass to the LFL where loungers will be fighting it out to feed him anytime he comes back to the Dude. He should never hafta buy another meal or drink in Starkville. And if he wants beer at a ballgame, someone BETTER get the man a beer!

I’m a fan and hate negativity of our players but that’s a bit much for me. Great players don’t need a poem and I’ll remember him because he’s bad ***. That seems a bit not bad ***. Downvote away but winners don’t need a poem or someone asking to support them. That’s what we do as fans of the Elite

I don't think anyone said he needed a poem, that's not why it was written. Nobody actually needs a key to a city but hundreds or thousands are given each year.

My thoughts are if Casey got a poem for striking out, Jake aughts get one for hitting.

It’s a 17in salute to greatness ya dick.

Historically poems and songs were written for the great, so that they would be remembered, especially Kings. I could’ve written a biography but that’s what Wikipedia is for.

Poems Are a Bit Not Bad ***

The poem, i did read
But the great have no need
No poems, that’s my creed
But no one agreed?

don’t ask and don’t plead
I won’t pass the weed
no stem, and no seed
It’s dank shite, indeed

A bit bad *** this is not
No, it’s not just the pot
I do support that #15 guy a lot
although his name I forgot

My memory is shot
what’s this poem’s plot?
This May was so hot
but my plants did not rot!



Aristotle had a way with words, he says “it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”... so, I hear you, and I have thought about it, but I’m going to have to respectfully say, you’re wrong. However, out of respect for your opinion, I have revised my poem to the above masterpiece. I hope you enjoy this version better.

My Poem to Eminence Bunt:

You may be a bit of a sage
Or at least a person of a certain age
But your poems would be all the rage
If you posted them on Gene's Page

That said, it was a nice tribute
To a player that's been beloved since his debut
But praises for the effort will be mostly mute
Coming from this place of ill repute

But I don't mean to be curt
I just want to make sure you are alert
To the fact that Jake may revert
To chasing too many pitches in the dirt

If he can avoid scratching that itch
And maybe even learn to take a pitch
We should make Omaha without a glitch
And we won't have to listen to LoveSomeCroom *****

I cogitate while I ruminate that you are tempting fate and making the karma irate.
