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.

"...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.

Big Game, November 20, 2004: Stanford 6, Cal 41

Nima is Weenie
Sits with Cal while Cindi joins
Gary for Brie, beer.
--Cynthia Gentry

Thirty-five, Sixteen.
Weenies thinking "Rose Bowl" 'til
Bruins beat Trojans.
--Gary Tyrrell

In 2002
Zach had a feeling again
In 2004.
--Zach Nelson

Blowout in progress
Should be drafting documents
Zach had a feeling.

--Jeff Suto

BCS Bowl-bound?
Stanford will turn up the heat
Weenies get roasted.
--Jeff Suto

Stanford scores. We cheer.
Alums behind us complain.
Too bad! We still drink.
--Cynthia Gentry

Daddy's little girl:
Kneeling in her own vomit
F-Stanford t-shirt.
--Gary Tyrrell

The Hall of Fame Bowl
Only four seconds to go
It's All Right Now--D'oh!
--Gary Tyrrell

(On the occasion of the 24th anniversary of "The Play")
Forward lateral
Knee was definitely down
Trombone player squashed.
--Jeff Suto

Four in the morning
Gary has insomnia
Haikus flow like snot.

Mmm, beer and donuts
Empirically shown to
Mask a hangover.

24-point 'dogs
Who cares that kal is ranked fourth
Let's ruin their year.
--Gary Tyrrell
