Vote For The Winner Of The Tennessee-Oregon Hail Mary Haiku

Before we get to the voting, let me say that this week's version of the Hail Mary Haiku has to be the best we've ever had. Thanks in bunches to the multitudes of Ducks fans who participated with good-natured trash talking and the Vol fans who gave it right back in the same spirit.

The thread is 113 comments of golden goodness, but I think my favorite part is when thetennesseethumper pulled out this beauty:

ducks swim on river
pass ’neath the Henley St. Bridge
out comes bunch o trolls

 Perhaps, but they were exceedingly well-intentioned and good-humored trolls, even if they threatened to hijack the haiku and turn it into a limerick contest, at which point bobothevol responded:

There once was a fan in Eugene
Who was new to the poetry Scene
Imagine the Scandal
When he heard from this Vandal
That Limricks are more suited for Teens.

Don't mess with bobo, Ducks fans. He's from the future.

So we had great fun all around. Unfortunately for you Oregon fans, you're not eligible to win. So there.

The Vol entries with multiple rec's are re-published below the jump. Voting stays open until Saturday morning at 6:00.

At Neyland Landing,
Chip tries to ford the river
But his oxen drown

hope it’s like Duck Hunt
shootin’ ’em with the quickness
let Smokey go fetch

It walks like a duck,
Quacks like a duck, but looks like
Green Lantern threw up.

Duck is a delight
When seasoned, roasted just right
Hungry for a win

Those daffy ducks are coming

I’ll miss you, I will. I had to go with the Oregon Trail one, mostly because of this recent creation.

Always well-intentioned!

That was a great idea and I had a lot of fun! Perhaps I’ll be back to write some Haiku’s another week when they won’t be able UT losing. Tennessee is my favorite SEC team after all…. <——-would that comment make me eligible to win?!

Haha just playin’ Vols. Best of luck. I went with the Oxen one. Had to appreciate the Oregon Trail reference.

Ugh.

about UT losing*

I only have typos on this blog. Never on any other on the internet. Perhaps the Neyland power is stronger than we Duck fans thought…

Roads?

Where bobo is from, he doesn’t need roads…

You can take the boy out of Tennessee, but you can't take make him stop wearing Orange.
