Hail Mary Haiku: Auburn Tigers edition

It's time for this week's Hail Mary Haiku, Auburn Tigers 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!

Auburn's haiku

Chizik and Kiffin
Two uninspiring hires
Which ends up better?

Tigers in Knoxville
An old rivalry renewed
Five straight over Vols

Just like last year, I’m giving you guys the two-for-one special; one pro-Auburn, one neutral. I’m looking forward to discussion this game with y’all as the week goes on!

An ode to the Bryce Brown wheel route

He takes off around the edge

Trooper's empty homecoming

In hand the towel,
Waving wildly. Game ends with
Towel dragging ground.

Auburn Verse

Sing Rocky Top in Neyland
No way, says Auburn, but instead
Rips shirt off like Kiffin

Auburn arrives like Fall
Echoes stir, Neyland, Shug, Majors
Who are these new guys

Tennessee taking
Turns tromping Trooper Taylor’s
Terrible Tigers

Ain't it good to be alive and be in Tennessee!
