The winner of the inaugural Rocky Top Talk Hail Mary Haiku is Tennessee blogger Corn from a Jar. I generally would not re-post a comment about coach Fulmer's personal appearance, and, yes, Corn bucked the traditional 5-7-5 convention for a free form haiku, but his heave into the end zone as time wound down came the closest to a successful Hail Mary, and its predictive value simply must be recognized:
Fat Phil feasts
Bear...it's what's for dinner
hot seat cools
Bear...it's what's for dinner

Brilliant. Corn doesn't really win anything but the satisfaction of knowing he was indeed the best of our many failures.
Stay tuned for next week's Hail Mary Haiku.
