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

A stadium half full or half empty?

An article in today's San Jose Mercury News described Stanford's trouble in filling its stadium despite a record football season. Our very own Gary Tyrrell is quoted.

Empty stadium
Guilt over not attending
Word, Gary Tyrrell
