The ride filled with pride
March Madness
Turns to sadness
No longer living the dream
Through my favorite team
But I will say it out loud
Of them, I am still proud
They learned and they grew
It’s as if they knew
They’ve become a powerhouse in basketball
And it has been said, even the mighty must fall
First, they were Cinderella, holding a date with destiny
Then David – the Giant killer – looking for the enemy
Now – like Goliath – they carry with themselves, a target
So whenever they get beaten, teams just won’t forget
They will stand tall and proud, even in the face of defeat
As they are mighty warriors, some of the best you’ll ever meet
There’s Mo and Big Poppa and let’s not forget P-MAC
Then there’s Raivio and Pendu and Erroll on attack
We’ve got Big Josh and Nate, Jeremy and Colin
Mallon and L.G., when he’s in – he’s haulin’
There’s also Diallo and don’t forget Gentry
We’ve got everything in, from a Knight to a sentry
So, rise up and smile, give them a hand
Let the Zags know that behind them we stand
We’re here for the duration, not just for the ride
One big Zag Nation, filled with Zag pride
