Hail Mary Haiku: farewell to Fulmer edition

by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 24, 2008 6:30 AM EST in Tennessee Volunteer Football

Time for the season's final Hail Mary Haiku. Use this one as either a Kentucky theme, a season finale, an ode to the seniors, or a farewell to Fulmer. Don't say anything you might regret.

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.

Hike! Ooooh!

Bought single ticket,
To support our Coach once more,
Hope haters stay home.

Who has the right as
Master of the house to have
(The) final word at home?

Cats, enjoy your win…
Just you wait for basketball
Vols will get you then!

Ain't it good to be alive and be in Tennessee!

Some remember Phil
For the past couple of years
And forget the good.

Me? I barely know
Of Manning, the Golden Age
of UT football.

I will always see
“And pandemonium reigns”
When I think of thee.

It seemed destiny
When “he stumbled and fumbled”,
We held the crystal.

Seek Phil’s legacy
In the eyes of his players
Game Ball goes to Phil.

Euthanasia

Season’s euthanised
Should have used Kevorkian
months ago. Good riddance.

(Sorry for the doom-n-gloom…this entry is spoken purely of the disappointment of the 2008 record. I, in no way what so ever, wish ill-will on any player, CPF, or anybody involved in the UT football program.)
