Stanford Football vs. San Diego State University: Pre-Game Thoughts

Backup power? Check
Rashaad Penny with Seahawks?
We go one and oh.

Heisman campaign starts
Toby, Andrew, Christian, Bryce
What the frack, East Coast?
--Jeff

August 26, 2017: Stanford 62, Rice 7

McLovin was split up
Just like Solomon's baby
Shaw still bland as rice.
—Jeff

Why a game in Oz?
Koalas and kangaroos
TV revenue.
—Richey

Would it be mean to write a haiku about Josh Shaw?

"USC cornerback Josh Shaw admitted to school officials that he had fabricated a story about rescuing a nephew from drowning and lied about how he suffered ankle injuries, the school announced Wednesday." —Los Angeles Times

Yes, it is mean, but
What would Manti Te'o do?
College kids f up.
—Gary Tyrrell

Ordinarily
Running backs, not cornerbacks
Are ankle breakers.
—Jeff Suto

BCS-Bound Cardinal

Orange Bowl haikus
Easier than limericks
Harder to rhyme "orange."

ACC's Hokies
Versus the Fighting Harbaughs:
Stanford will smoke 'em.

Andrew Luck's swan song?
Please please please please please please, no.
Get your degree first.

NFL lock-out.
Stay in school, Jim and Andrew.
Twenty-twelve Rose Bowl
--Gary Tyrrell

Stanford Continuing Studies

The cognoscenti
have discovered the virtues
of five syllables.
--We Bow to No Man

Stanford 52, Sacramento State 17

The Stanford Band owes
Us a royalty today
Haiku halftime show.
--Fake Bill Walsh

And the Heisman goes to...not Toby.

Regional bias
What were voters thinking?
Neil Young was right.
--We Bow to No Man

How does a senior
Lose Heisman to a soph'more
Blame AD not press.
--Fake Bill Walsh

Big Game Week

No haiku on blog
Where are my contributors?
Afraid Cal will win?
--Cynthia Gentry

To tide you over until August.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.
--@brianshaler, via Twitter

Big Game, December 2, 2006: Stanford 17, Cal 26

No Big Game haiku?
Terrible season quashes
creativity.
--Cynthia Gentry

The Big Game Haiku
traditionally happy
Weenies suck less now.
--Zach Nelson

29-point spread
Per quarter, or for the game?
At least there's no rain.
--Gary Tyrrell

Does Ted Leland
dream of electric Buddies?
Tainted legacy.
--Jeff Suto

Going to the game?
Faculty Glade rendezvous
11 o'clock.
--Gary Tyrrell

Covering the spread
10 minutes to go in 4th
Moral victory?
--Jeff Suto

Game live in Philly
Was that a touchdown we scored?
Historic event.

Made son Ben watch game
This is where you'll go to school
Hey, Dad: One more beer?
--Richey Neuman

Cardinal sucked not
Weenies lose their Rose Bowl berth
All right now on Earth.
--Elizabeth Newell

Can we finally
field a decent team in my
lifetime? Maybe not.

Alas, off to work
KC winter sucks less with
Hopes of Stanford win.
--Nima Badiey
