Pre-Big-Game Haiku

Tired, so tired
Take the taste out of my mouth
By roasting weenies.

Ordinarily
Running backs, not cornerbacks
Are ankle breakers.

Which Kevin Hogan
Do we see on Saturday?
Salvage the season.

We're leaving Las Vegas
On Sunday 12/21
Victory in hand.

Farm will rise again
Team's reach should exceed grasp or
What's the Rose Bowl for?
—Jeff Suto

Irrelevant Game
Two losers, pitched in battle
Back to normalcy.
—Richey Neuman

Big Game Week Haiku

Expectations kill
A disappointing season?
With just two losses?
—We Bow to No Man

One hundred sixteenth:
More than a century of
Stanford dominance.
—Gary Tyrrell

Take care of weenies
Hope for series of upsets
Alamo not bad.
—We Bow to No Man

Traditional foes,
One puts sport ahead of class,
The other's bowl bound.

Give 'em the Axe! Where?
(Many choices...one is clear)
Right in the neck! There!
—Scott DeBarger

"U.C. Berkeley"
Five syllables? Four? Not sure.
The Weenies still suck.
—Richey Neuman

April 19, 2005: Stanford in the NCAA Tournament

(And now for a brief break for Stanford Basketball, which in March 2005 earned its 11th straight trip to the NCAA Tournament, only to fall in the first round.)

Choose Cal or Stanford?
No allegiances remain
Done both now finished.
--Nima Badiey

Slit your wrist, Nima.
What color are you bleeding?
(Just a metaphor.)
--Gary Tyrrell

All this Weenie talk
Making Cindi so cranky
Pregnancy hormones.
--Cynthia Gentry

NCAA Champs
Where is Stanford where is Cal?
Wooden's legacy.
--Nima Badiey

Thank you for asking.
Stanford has one 89.
Cal's got 23.
--Gary Tyrrell
