Haiku Voting: the Inmate is Running the Asylum

Ok, so Joel normally gets these things out for voting on Thursday.  However, travel plans seem to have interrupted his normal flow of operations, and here we are on a Friday afternoon with no haikus to vote for.  (By the way, how do you pluralize haiku?  Haikus?  Haiki?  Haikuku?  Eh.)  So I'll bravely step on the fearless one's toes and get this up for you now.

Here are the candidates:

blah blah chicken joke.

we hate the Ol’ Ball Coach, unless
he wants a job here.

Gamecock and Vol fans,

Gamecock and Vol fans,
share a common dilemma,
with coaches past primes.

Get ready Vol fans!

Get ready Vol fans!
The Gamecocks will give pro scouts
Crunch Berry highlights.

Please please please please please

Please please please please please

Is best in larger doses
After the first meal.

Sometimes, beef isn’t it.

Sometimes, beef isn’t it.
Chikin’, it’s what’s for dinner.
At least I hope so.

After ’Cocks game,

After ’Cocks game,
The admin moves much faster
And says Phil is gone.

Precipitated

Precipitated
By another hard fought loss,
with no bowl in sight,

Mathematical
Certainty: the buyout’s near.
It’s just a few mill:

Ole’ Brian Kelley
And Mark D’Antonio
Work cheaper than that.

Do not go for Boom,
Muschamp’s efforts are better
Suited for DC

What about Gruden?
We all know he runs loose ships.
And can he recruit?

 - Stuck in the Plains

Mr. Spurrier

Mr. Spurrier
I see you’ve fell on hard times
Us too. Call a truce?

There you have it.  Vote!  (Polls close at 7 PM EST Saturday - approximately when the game of the week begins!)

Blah blah blah

Is not even a haiku.
Let the coach just leave.

Once,Fat Phulmer stepped
Upon my pinky finger.
I can count to nine.

Since you're a Bama fan,

Let me explain that the rules of the Hail Mary Haiku contest specifically state that the haiku form does not have to be followed. It’s a guideline, but not mandatory.

Also, please refrain from the fat jokes; they have nothing to do with Fulmer as a coach and only serve to cheapen the discussion. (On occasion, comments have been taken down when they become too personal and ad hominem.) We love to have the whole spectrum of opinions that pertain to sports and welcome your input, though.

Best of luck with Arkansas State this weekend. May your team represent the SEC well.

And lastly, I wish your wife the best of luck. I’m not in the architecture field, but I understand that Auburn has a good school for it. Kudos to the two of you for not letting the name on the front of the school interfere with her career goals. That is commendable.

Let's be honest here...

Nice try, but we all know you can’t count to 9. (Small joke)

And, I must say, Hooper (or should I say Dear Leader?), I’m not sure how you uncovered all of the information about this guy’s personal life (perhaps you know him?), but I have to say that I’m impressed.

And a little scared :).

Crap!

I’m tied for first?! Now I wish I had voted for myself!

The scheduling of polls . . .

. . . isn’t working very well. I’ve already written the open game thread, and called it a three-way tie, although I see that rusty got another vote since then.

Go Vols!

My bad.

I set the poll to close at 7 PM (game time-ish) rather than something smart like noon.
