Hail Mary Haiku: South Carolina Gamecocks

by Joel Hollingsworth on Oct 26, 2009 6:30 AM EDT in Tennessee Volunteer Football

It's time for this week's Hail Mary Haiku, South Carolina edition.

Here's the concept for those new to the thing: 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.

On Thursday, we'll ask everyone to take a look at all of the entries and whittle them down with recs, and then we'll post the top ten or so on Friday and open it up for voting. Voting will continue until 6:00 a.m. on Saturday. We'll post the winner in the game day open thread. What do you get for winning? The esteem of your peers! It's totally worth it.

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

Hike! Ooooh!
