Cards better have my upset!
Ag fans should know us well enough
Cards better have my upset!
Please don’t call us on our bluff

Who y’all think y’all frontin’ on?

Scheu construction and it’s all on me, Ags you just bought it all
Kamikaze if you think that you gon’ knock us off the top
Sumlin gonna need some help, needs to give Lembo a call
Don’t act like you forgot, Milas calls the shots, shots, shots

Pay us what you owe us, don’t act like you forgot

Cheer cheer for old Ball State
Wake up the students it’s time for pregame
Send a Carter’s dog my way
Scotty’s for dinner would make my day
What though the odds be great or be small
We may not get the win but we’ll have a ball
While our loyal fans are marching
Onward to relevancy

While he sings his comeback song.

Your final post for this work week is the special edition OTPcast recorded live when Mark Sandy was introduced as the new Ball State Athletic Director last week. In true OTP fashion, there were some major technical difficulties that made publishing this things a real pain in the derrier. So witty song lyrics rebranded to be about Ball State have been replaced with this and an explanation as to why this OMG BREAKING! OTPcast isn’t quite so OMG BREAKING! tonight. But it’s still awesome all the same.

In this episode, Jason and Alan are back with a special ADcast to welcome Mark Sandy and toot the Pylon’s horn for breaking the story. The guys break down the press conference and thoughts on Sandy along with some priorities they hope he addresses. Finally, the guys introduce the new OTPHotline, where you the listener can call in and voice your thoughts on Cardinal athletics. It’s an OTPcast that’s not to be missed!

BSU and me, we go way back
For better or for worse
I can’t believe this season’s gone
And the proof’s in the way it hurts
For months on end I’ve had my doubts
Denying every tear
I can’t believe it’s over now
Cause I know that I still need games here
You say I’m crazy
‘Cause you think I have too much fun
But when you download the podcast
I know I’m not the only one

Jason and Alan are back to recap the Black Friday victory over Bowling Green and talk about how that win shifts perspective on the 2014 season.

All that and more in this week’s OTPcast!

Like a good boy should
Chirps for me
Chirps for you
Let’s get to chirpin’

Love to chirp chirp
