One Sh!tty Moment - 2011

For all of you who, like me, had their brackets busted about 2 weeks ago, I give you the 2011 version of One Sh!tty Moment - interspersed within the lyrics of One Shining Moment. For the handful of you whose bracket are still intact, feel free to laugh at our pain.

ONE SH!TTY MOMENT

The ball is tipped
(The channels are flipped) 

and there you are

(It best not be far)
you're running for your life

(There’s gonna be strife)
you're a shooting star
(Wait. TruTV there you are)

And all the years
(As the Tourney nears) 

no one knows
(your bracket glows)
just how hard you worked
(but something awful lurked)
but now it shows...
(Yup, here come those woes)


IN ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(In One Sh!tty Moment)
IT'S ALL ON THE LINE

(Boeheim could only whine)
ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(One Sh!tty Moment)
THERE FROZEN IN TIME
 

(Morehead? Why this time?)

But time is short 

(ND blown off court)
and the road is long
(picking Duke was just wrong)

in the blinking of an eye
(Kiss Texas goodbye?!)
ah that moment's gone
(Your final four’s all but gone.”)

And when it's done
(Pitt had a game won)
win or lose
(yet they still lose)
you always did your best

(So you need all the rest)
cuz inside you knew...

(then down goes OSU)


THAT ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(One Sh!tty Moment)
YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
(Jimmer’s shots went wide)
ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(One Sh!tty Moment)
YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

(Bill Self wished he weren’t alive)

Feel the beat of your heart
(You went with your heart.)

feel the wind in your face
(Coach Cal shoved it in your face)

it's more than a contest

(Kemba was at his best)
it's more than a race...


(Butler made its case)

And when it's done
(Yes you’re all done)

win or lose

(You’re gonna lose)
you always did your best

(You’re nowhere near the best)
cuz inside you knew... 

(Cuz of friggin VCU)

THAT ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(That One Sh!tty Moment)
YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
(Just go on and cry)
ONE SHINING MOMENT,
(One Sh!tty Moment)
YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
(Maybe Women’s hoops you should try)


Take it easy,
Dave
