Hail Mary Haiku: Florida Gators 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.
We'll post the entries (or just the best ones, if there are too many) and open the thing up for voting on Thursday morning. Voting will continue until Game Day, when we'll post the winner. What do you get for winning? The esteem of your peers! It's totally worth it. Ask birdjam and CornFromAJar.

Hike! Ooooh!

28 point spread,

cost gamblers some cash.

Much like the Gator
Tebow cannot do a thing
When he’s on his back

Lane’s likely sanguine
Which could mean he is hopeful
Or also bloody.

lifelong rewards
if crompton pulls off
the unthinkable upset…
lifetime of free beers.

I trust Kiffin but
Crompton’s who we feared he was.
Gentlemen, we’re ****ed.

I like the fill-in-the-blank haiku
Indeed, we are ducked this Saturday.

Sadly True
Cromp, Cromp, he’s our man
He can do it if nobody…
Gives him a football.
Way too mean.. I'll be nice.
Crompton, Crompton, Goooooo
John… this is your final shot
Win and all’s forgot.

Premature Echompulation
All I ask for is
containment of premature
echompulation!
(It’s a certain kiss of death!)

waiting
we shall field a team
and we’ll play out the schedule
new QB in ’10
...and we shall eat only the red skittles...

Haiku
Ball soaring through Autumn air
Tipped, slowly following Newton’s law of gravity
Into my outstrectched loving hands.
By: Marsalous Teague
Here’s hoping!
