The Kent State football team plays Akron this weekend.

The Wagon Wheel trophy is the Flashes to defend.

The rivalry has been around for many years,

and each season one team goes home in tears.

The teams have produced many a great guy

Like Joshua Cribbs or some guy named Frye.

So here is a ballad to explain the Wagon Wheel

for you to enjoy the passion they feel. Check out the rest of the poem on the video above.
