Hail Mary Haiku: Vanderbilt Commodores

by Joel Hollingsworth on Nov 16, 2009 6:43 AM EST in Tennessee Volunteer Football

It's time for this week's Hail Mary Haiku, Vanderbilt Commodores 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!

Back-to-back wins perhaps?

Awfully strong. Good job.

Strong?

But we don’t want to go Music City Bowling.

Isn't that close to best-case scenario at this point?

At any rate, I mainly put it because it’s where Vandy played last year. And it also fit the syllable format.

I think the Chik-Fil-A is our best option at the moment.

But Vander didn't build that one.

By the way

In case I haven’t made it abundantly clear…I went to Vandy :P

by VolnVA on Nov 18, 2009 10:55 PM EST up reply actions

Vandy sucks big time
two weeks, beware, Randall Cobb
Must end this damn streak

First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
