The Tigers NCAA appeal has apparently failed
And the University of Memphis is about to get nailed.

Derrick Rose is the problem and it's a beaut;
A few years ago he was the #1 recruit.

We knew he could play,a blue chip lock
But we didn't know he was dumb as a rock.

He failed the SAT twice in Chicago so they thought he could fake it
By going to Detroit and have someone else take it.

Someone passed the test but the NCAA knows
That person was not Derrick Rose.

I say Calipari engineered the whole rotten deal
And there are those of us who really feel;

He should be punished with serious jail time
But alas what he did is not a crime.

So Cal and Rose leave town with all the swag
And the Tigers are left holding the bag.

We are now known mainly for breaking a rule
And I guess we're the #1 outlaw school.

Now that it's over all I can say to you;
Is grin and bear it-that's the best we can do..

The University of Kentucky had the absolute gall
To hire the most dishonest coach of all.

Look up-crook-in the dictionary and it would be rare
If you didn't see John Calipari's picture there.

The NCAA knows him,that's for sure
And his reputation is less than simon pure.

His trips to the Final 4 have been a bumpy ride
On both occasions his teams have been disqualified.

Coach Cal accepted disgrace with a wry,slight smile
Hey, even Jesse James got caught once in a while.

So the Wildcats will keep doing business the same old way
The rules are in place for others to obey.

But there is still hope because his critics will brag
Cal can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.

Some folks in Memphis have become cautious and wary
They think the anti christ may be John Calipari.

If you google-anti christ-it will tell you why
Coach Cal just might be the right guy.

The a/c is devious if he wants something he'll take it
And if there is a rule in the way-hey-he'll just break it.

He can be ever so charming and it's my belief
He could sell General Custer as an Indian chief.

But there is one aspect I hesitate to approach
The anti christ is touted as a great bench coach.

So if you look at his record here's my call
He may not be the anti christ after all.

So I sat there in my den watching the game
When I realized that things were not the same.

Not the same,indeed,so help me man
I discovered that I'm a UT Volunteer fan.

If this is true I won't know how to act
I've never been here before and that's a fact.

But when they play Kentucky I want all to note
The Volunteers will always get my vote.

But that goes for Russia,China or even Iraq.
Any one playing Calipari-I'm gonna back.

When Coach Cal left for Kentucky he did us dirt
So it stands to reason whenever he gets hurt;

Some Tigers fans are pleased to see him frying
And those who don't are probably lying.

So being a Tennessee fan is really tough
But one game as a Vol is more than enough.

Maybe the Volunteers will get another chance
Hey-it'll be- Go Vols Go- if they meet in the Big Dance.
