King Alfred

In days of old King Alfred lived,
   King Alfred styled the Great.
So brave in war, so strong in peace,
   So wise in school and state.

Then sing of Alfred's Glory,
   Of Alfred's greatness sing.
Let Alfred's name and Alfred's fame,
   Adown the ages ring.

King Alfred was the people's friend,
   He led in learning's ways,
And making people wise and good,
   Our Alfred lives today.

A THOUSAND tongues swell Alfred's praise,
   A thousand hearts respond.
While young and old their tribute bring,
   Of mem'ries true and fond.

UNFURL the banner to the breeze,
   And lift the standard high--
Enshrined in loyal, loving hearts,
   Our Alfred can not die.

(It was for King Alfred "our" Alfred was named.)

Sung to the tune of the theme from the Andy Griffith Show.  Try it, it works, with a couple of necessary variations

[HScoach]

Still missing a lot of picks.

Pep was intrigued by the front page survey results:

Which road team has the best shot to win in the quarterfinals?

UW-Whitewater (4127) - 54%
Mary Hardin-Baylor (1771) - 23%
Bethel (1020) - 13%
Alfred (666) - 8%

6924 total votes


Does anyone else find the results rather interesting? Could say Alfred has a snowball's chance in Hell of pulling off a win, right?

On Saxon Warriors!

Don't worry.  I will vote for Alfred so that the total bumps to 667.  Mount should then be safe and you will no longer have a snowball's chance in hell.  Everything will be right with the world once again.

It's too late. That survey is history now. That 666 is firmly forever embedded in the Front Page Survey Results thread. The snowball's chance in hell is still a possibility. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

On Saxon Warriors!

I'm guessing the bulk of the D3 staff will be at the Battle of Minnesota, anybody coming to Alliance? And if so, why?

Actually, I'll be at UWW-North Central and Gordon Mann will be at UMHB-Wesley.

It also works with the song from Gilligan's Isle

So, all Alfred is bringing is a sword and a shield?

What?  Mount gets ignored?  Aren't you wanting to witness Mount failing to make the Semi-Finals for the first time since 1994?

GO BETHEL!!!

thanks for the grins and out and out chortles (you KNOW I had to try singing it!) Now I'm doomed to hearing AU Gilligan's fight song all night as I cram to finish my district strategy__ so I can enjoy Saturdays game with full reckless abandon!

Welcome King Al...and go Raiders!

[raiderguy]

KS thinks this is the AU fight song.

Actually just replace Harvard with Alfred in the following:
Fight Fiercely, Harvard

Alfred

+K  For the great Alfred find.

I'm partial to Alfred Nobel.  As our cheerleaders are fond of saying, "Our team is dyn-a-mite!"

As for the Alliance food scene, I'm pushing for the Wing Warehouse after the monkey stomp (actually, I don't think Alfred will win by that much), but pregame is there still a brunch?  If so, where is it located?

Thanks and I'm looking forward to seeing what a national contender looks like first hand.

The brunch is in the Campus Center just North of the stadium.  Start time is usually 10:30.  Safe travels.

Can anyone tell me if this game is on tape delay tv?  If so, what time and channel?

Thanks!

Thanks!

SportsTime Ohio normally does the games, but I don't see this one listed on their website.  Maybe Coach Kehres doesn't want the game out there so future opponents can see it without trading films...
