Hail Mary Haiku: UCLA Bruins 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.

By the way
I love the idea of changing the blog’s tagline. There’s a whole heckuva lot of google juice in that space, though, so we’ll probably keep it keyword friendly.
Now if we could increase the value of “War Time! Let’s Take it Outside!” as high-value keywords, then we’d have something.
Hmm. How can we do that?

You could keep it like it is in the HTML, then change it with Javascript. That way Google sees the SEO-friendly version, and most of us see the more fun slogans. This is easy since the site uses Prototype (I’m a nerd, I notice these things):
<script type=“text/javascript”>
Event.observe(window,‘load’,function(){
$$(‘.tagline’).invoke(“update”, “War Time! Let’s Take it Outside!”);
});
</script>
