That's Why They Play the Game
If wins were determined by brackets
Or rankings or ratings or bands
They would not need to play the game,
And there wouldn't be people called fans.
There wouldn't be games called "upsets"
And only the top-ranked would win.
But that's the reason they play the game:
To determine who's "out" and who's "in".
Some people may curse and grumble
If their school loses the game
Believing that if they are losers
The referees are to blame.
And others are shell-shocked and weary
If their team gets whipped in the storm,
And they conjure conspiracy theories
To explain why they didn't perform.
But regardless of the brackets or
The team's rating or fame,
Some winner's lose, and losers win,
And that's why they play the game.
