Hail Mary Haiku: Arkansas State Indians edition

Round four of the Rocky Top Talk Hail Mary Haiku.

Here's the concept for those new to the game: You're behind by a touchdown or more 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. Oh, and bonus points for actually observing the traditional 5-7-5 format for haikus. Free form haikus are allowed, though. This is, after all, a desperation play.

I'll try to post the entries and open up the voting through the poll box on the right sidebar on Thursday morning. Voting will continue through Saturday morning, when I'll post the winner. The winner gets . . . the esteem of his or her peers and the derision of his or her opponents!

Enter yours below by clicking on the "Comment" link, and pass the invitation to enter along to others.

Hike! Ooooh!

Speaking of "The Big D"...
...I heard that Coach Pearl and his wife filed yesterday.  What's up with that?

"The Big D"
dunno...but from 'Wide Receiver U' to 'Divorce U' My, how far we've fallen!

BTW from Michael Silence, via Instapundit:

"First Pat Summitt, now Bruce Pearl. If success in UT athletics means marital problems, Phil Fulmer has nothing to worry about."

Divorce is the secret of champions
First Pat and now Bruce,
Leave your wife for a doughnut,
That's how to win again.

As Hooper mentioned, none of the RTT uniform design entries went with the black shirts and orange pants, like we saw against that team coached by Spurrier this past weekend.

So I gave it a very quick stab.  One thing I couldn't figure out in the short amount of time I took to do this was how to get the "T" on the helmet when designing your own helmet.  Others had done it in the contest...I couldn't figure it out.
