KneeGate, A Collection of Poems
The ODB team was as appalled by Matthew Mayer’s very on purpose knee to Tanner Groves’ face as the rest of the nation was…sike.
To pay homage to the absurdity that was the ESPN+ crew and all of OU twitter’s reaction to an inadvertent knee to the face, the ODB team decided to tell the tale of KneeGate. The infamous story that will go down in NCAAM Basketball lore.
Below are a series of thoughtful and heartfelt poems, we hope you enjoy.
“Ye olde Matt Mayer Time”
Branden MacKinnon
There once was a man named Matt Mayer
He had springs in his legs, a high flyer
He jumped in the lane for a rebound
A caveman’s head his knee found
The state of Oklahoma was shook
The replay officials took another look
