It was a cold rainy March day in 2006
We were awaiting the results of the NCAA picks
Winter was ending, but some trees were still frozen
But warmth radiated the campus as we found we were chosen
Here we are in the big dance, the lights, the glitter
We were virtually erect as Billy packer grew bitter
The next morning at 6 AM I see, a young man at the gym
With basketball in hand, waiting to get in
He was dressed in green with a wrap on his shin
Oh my god is that.. yes it’s Tony Skinn!
“Congrats Tony!” I shouted with tears
“No matter what happens, we’re just happy to be here!”
“I’m not” he replied with a snort
Taken aback I pondered his unexpected retort
He continued “My plans for this tourney don’t stop at admission”
He said as his eyes burned like a man on a mission
With a wink he said “Your gonna be happy Chank, get used to winning”
“The sky’s not the limit, it’s just the beginning”
Back then I just took it as a young man’s bravado
Little did I know this was his daily motto
Those who have doubted him have been exposed as hacks
Those who have bothered him, got punched in the sack
Those who gave him a chance are now making stacks
Those that hire him, will never look back
From English, to Paulsen, to even Paul Hewitt
From TOC, Merten and the rest of the clowns that blew it
Now we have come 360, I almost feel weightless
And think back to the time in 2006 when I saw a young man destined for greatness
