On the Eve of Stanford vs. U$C

Prop bet in Vegas
D'oh-arnold coughs up football
Loses game, Heisman.

41 point dog
Ten years ago madness strikes
Wish I'd be the line.

Struggles with Broncos
SC defense still tired
Scarlett Love prevails.
—Jeff

(In response to Gary T's submission of Elemental Haiku to this blog)
Hilarious, Gar
But no Stanford or 'SC
Try again, slacker.
—Cynthia

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

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

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

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

Thoughts on the upcoming Stanford vs. UCLA game.

Jim Mora Junior
Bringing UCLA back
Wants playoffs like Dad.
—We Bow to No Man

"UCLA." A
Lot of letters for a school.
Waste of haiku space.

We need to beat them:
UCLA. See? Whole line.
Again: Need to win.
—Richey

October 12, 2013: Stanford 21, Utah 27

Coach Shaw's forgotten
More football than I will know.
I would have run it.
--Gary T.

Two yards to first down.
You had plenty of time. Twice.
Incomplete passes? Absurd.
--Fake Bill Walsh
