Hail Mary Haiku: Auburn Tigers edition

PrintTime for the Auburn Tigers 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.

Enemy haiku, two-for-one special!
Big game on the plains
Both teams smarting from tough loss
Tigers roar past Vols
Auburn, Tennessee;
Both can agree on two things:
Georgia, Bama suck
In all honesty, I’m scared to death of this game. Both teams are coming off of very tough losses, but ours is one that is tougher to get over. We’ll have a harder time getting past a close loss to LSU than y’all will with the big loss to the Gators. Your team will be angry as hell and ready to show their true ablities. I’m worried we’ll come out flat. I just hope we can move on and not keep thinking about last week, because UT has a talented team, and always seems to have one major upset a year. Hopefully you’re saving it for the third Saturday in October!
War Damn Eagle!

It should be an intense game.
Both teams are facing effective elimination from the SEC race if they lose. Personally, I’ve liked UT’s chances against Auburn better, but I plan on expounding on that more. Auburn should be a tough matchup, period.

One tick left, midfield
Touchdown would change the outcome

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