Time for the Northern Illinois 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.

Hike! Ooooh!

Sixty thousand “strong,”
in Neyland this Saturday,
because of “gas costs”

Vicious wind is loose,
Vols seem down for the Count! Thus,
We wait for the “Bruce!”

OK, where's my "genius grant"?
“Northern Illinois,”
Hey, that is five syllables!
Haiku writes itself.
