December 1, 2007: 110th Big Game. Stanford 20, Cal 13.

"We are by the car
in the eucalyptus grove.
We are wearing red."
--Gary Tyrrell, quoting Zach

Zach's Blackberry "died"
Passive-aggressive shunning
Who will he fire?
--Cynthia Gentry & Gary Tyrrell

We lead at the half
Stanford declares victory
of the moral kind.

Our lead stays intact
Axe returns to Stanford home.
My Cal friends are sad.
--Stanford Football Haiku reader Cliff Speed

At Peet's, Cal fan
gets joe, 10 packets Equal.
Her team thus loses.
--Cynthia Gentry

Big Game conflicts with Nap Time

Late game start does not
Bode well for child's nap schedule
Toddler does not drink.
--Cami

Warm-up to The 110th Big Game

I'm in Las Vegas
running 13.1 miles
Watching on Versus.
--Jeff Suto

Three-and-out Punt Fest
A longer half-marathon
Than Jeff will endure?
--Gary Tyrrell

B'Game win possible?
Both teams are in a tailspin
Who will crash softest?

First Big Game for son
Beginning great tradition
Gar's ale for breakfast.
--Richey Neuman

Green is not the color of envy. November 24, 2007: Stanford 14, Notre Dame 21

yet another loss
no fighting irish found here
ugly green color.
--Nima

Those dirty Irish
Steal our coach and then dump him
Because he's not Weis.
--Jeff Suto

"...and then, in my fifth Super Bowl..."














L to R: John Elway (Stanford '83), Craig Hummer (VERSUS TV), Kevin Moen (California '83) and Gary Tyrrell (Stanford '83) reunite for the first time in 25 years to discuss "The Play" for a one-hour TV special to air November 24 at 6 p.m. ET. (Note that Elway and Tyrrell were the only ones to receive the memo about wardrobe.) Photo courtesy of Don Feria, Getty Images Entertainment.

Going to Peach Bowl!
Weenie's knee down, no whistle?
Who's Gary Tyrrell?
--John Elway

Too bad Moen got in
Trombone trombones tromboner
Gary made the hit.

November 17, 2007: Cal Bears lose to Washington, 37-23


Stall On, You Bears

Golden Bears stumbling
Oh, to have a running game
Then we'd be favored.

Five-oh to six-five
FireCoachJeffTedford.com
Bring back Tom Holmoe?

OSU meltdown
Goodbye to number one rank
Seems so long ago.

Harbaugh v. Tedford
"Harrrrrbaugh" sounds like a pirate
"Tedford" sounds preppy.

Lloyd Carr retirement
Go Blue opportunity?
So long, tree people.

Two and Nine Weis men
Three and seven Cardinal
Harbaugh seems more fit.
--Gary Tyrrell

Gary haiku flows
Big Game excitement peaking
This could be the year.
--Fake Bill Walsh

Copycats.

(Editor's note: After Stanford's amazing upset over USC, Trojan fans responded with their own haiku blog. It was a nice try.)

Yuk! 'SC haikus!
5 (x) 7 (+) 5? Nearly
41-point line.
--Richey Neuman

Tavita so close
Horned toads deliver heartbreak
At least I drank beer.
--Cynthia W. Gentry

October 13, 2007: Oregon State Beavers 31, Cal Bears 28

Cal number one? No.
Riley applied, rejected.
He didn't get in.

Thursday, October 11, 2007

Reunion Weekend: October 13, 2007 vs. TCU.

Ready for the Horned Frogs
We will lick them like cane toads
Bad, naughty cane toads.

Nothing compared to Stanford's
Don't stop believing.

Stanford U S C
David and Goliath too
Pressure bursts Trojans.
--Anonymous

John David Booty:
Many gamblers are upset
Bet farm on 'SC.

Broke middle finger
That's okay; the Trojan fans
Likely gave you theirs.
--Gary Tyrrell

Sun up in Sydney
Glowing bright as Stanford win
Still night for 'SC.

Aussies not impressed
Watching rugby and cricket
Much ale still flowed.
--Richey Neuman

"We bow to no man,
No program here at Stanford."
Coach Harbaugh Haiku.

--Jeff Suto

Great game, Mark Bradford
Heart so heavy, hands so soft
This one's for you, Pops.
--Gary Tyrrell

Four sacks on the day
Trojans don't protect Booty
Those worthless scumbags.

--Jeff Suto
