Vote for the winner of the Tennessee-Wyoming Hail Mary Haiku

We have some timing issues here, what with The Announcement coming after some of this week's entries, but here are this week's contestants nevertheless.

Please help me out here,
I’m trying to remember,
what we’re playing for.

Homecoming is here.
Public intoxication
always kills the pain.

Oh, my, what to do
Cheer for Tennessee, or the
Wyoming Cowboys

re: timing issues

That’s what I get for always trying to be first submitting mine. I couldn’t even vote for it this week.

Don't worry too much about it.

It’s not like you wrote one that applies to only yourself, like I did.

Of course, I wrote it knowing that it wouldn’t (and shouldn’t) win. But I couldn’t pass it up.

That's okay

Ohio State approves your haiku. (Although in their case they’re talking about their athletes.)

In that case,

The title should be “Contract Renegotiations”

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
