~Andrew Bates, Class of 2027

The titans win in the AFC, off to the Super Bowl they go 
Fighting their way through injury, hail and snow 
Against the mighty rams, What do the titans have to show?

The ram’s defense was as hard as stone 
That crazy February day 
Until the third quarter 
When it began to sway. 

The score-16-23 
My team was sadly losing 
The game scraped up many elbows and knees 
But none of us titans were leaving. 

Even though I caught the throw, 
And had the end zone in in sight, 
Jones tackled like a hawk to a crow, 
And left us titans way down low.

So goes the tale of that Super Bowl in ‘99.
It was like a terrible crime.
The glory of winning was stolen from us
And the culprits away with no fine.
