Hail Mary Haiku: Tennessee Volunteers - Georgia Bulldogs edition

Time for the Tennessee-Georgia Hail Mary Haiku.

Here's the concept for those new to the game: You're behind by four 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. Bonus points for actually observing the traditional 5-7-5 format for haikus, but free form haikus are allowed. This is, after all, a desperation play.

I'll try to post the entries and open up the voting on Thursday morning. Voting will continue until Game Day, when I'll post the winner. The winner gets . . . a point in the RTT Guessing Game Challenge.

Enter yours by clicking on the "Comments" link below, and pass the invitation to enter along to others. Keep 'em clean, please.

Hike! Ooooh!

birdjam's post-haiku contest victory letdown

Let us all hope that
Vols maintain their winning ways
Unlike my haikus

Stephens wins the start,
hope offense picks them apart,
doesn’t smell like a….

Jim Bob Cooter is not alone

Watch that ford focus!

Foiled by tree stump.

This one was just really funny to me

I'll ask it again later...

Oh Magic 8-Ball,
Will Vols beat Dawgs Saturday?

Poetic Optimism

The Vols aren’t real hot
But Georgia’s number we got
Vols: please score a lot

Desperate, backs against the wall
The task ahead is none to small
Cutcliff is gone offense n’ all
The dawgs will have a joyous ball
A shame Munson won’t call
At games end, dawgs will stand tall

Goooooo DAWGS!!!!

An ode to UGA

U. G. A. L. Y.
UGA’s got no alibi!
Ugly! Sooooo Ugly!

Original

Make that up yourself did’cha? If I didn’t know better I’d think this was a rip off of the cheer made popular by the movie “Wildcats”, which came out in 1986 and starred Goldie Hawn, Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. But Vol fans have much more originality than that, Right?

by deanpat92 on Oct 6, 2008 3:21 PM EDT reply actions  

Oh.

You mean like following haiku format?

by David Hooper on Oct 6, 2008 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

Now, be nice...

Haiku is a graduate-level course at UGA.

Sorry deanpat. But i was 5 when this so called movie came out. My inspiration came from every cheerleader I ever met.

But if its originality you crave I got you covered.

If Alabama
Was any indication
we might have a chance!

Thank you! Come Again!

Where is David Greene?
Earning the league minimum,

Better

That’s better MP but seriuosly…. Do I even need to mention UCLA, UF or AU. Come on man?

What’s with the David Greene bashing? That’s all you got. Y’all have kicked our a$$e$ the last two years and the best you got is a joke about David Greene? If you’re still upset he broke Payton’s record as the winningest QB in D1 history then you got issues. Let it go.

Don’t you just love trash talking? This is what makes college football the best sport in the world.

by deanpat92 on Oct 6, 2008 7:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Slim pickins for Vols high points this year

So I default to bashing David Greene. He’s also:

  • Why I can’t shake this cold
  • Why my cell phone keeps dropping calls
  • Why my girlfriend’s car got a random crack in its windshield
  • Why the hall in my apartment building smells like burned fish and dog poop
  • Why the government had to bail out Wall Street

He is the root of all evil sir.

If there was a Nobel Prize for Hail Mary Haikus, I’d give Birdjam one for his NIU entry, and give you one for figuring out how to get haiku and pterodactyl in the same line. Bravo.

Someday we'll look back on this and plow into a parked car.
