Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Hail Mary Haiku returns!

It's (finally!) time for the Rocky Top Talk Hail Mary Haiku, Cal Golden Bear edition!

Here's the concept: You're behind by a touchdown or more at midfield. Only one second remains on the clock, and you have to heave the ball into a mass of players in the end zone and hope that one of your guys comes down with it. Oh, and bonus points for actually observing the traditional 5-7-5 format for haikus. Free form haikus are allowed, though. This is, after all, a desperation play.

I'll post the entries and open up the voting through the poll box on the right sidebar on Thursday morning. Voting will continue through Saturday morning, when I'll post the winner. The winner gets . . . the esteem of his or her peers! Effluent praise!

Enter yours below by clicking on the "Comment" link and pass the invitation to enter along to others.

Hike! Ooooh!

Hail mary haiku
This is my last year,
If we lose to Cal today,
I'll father nine kids.

Bears, not so scary.
At the tender age of three,
Crockett killed him one.

Can I rhyme? Is that allowed?
Should be in a zoo.
Golden Bears will surely lose.
And they smell like poo.

Smokey loves to chew
on teddy bear limbs resulting in
stuffing on the floor.

Lifts his leg instead
