Preseason haiku
As the season nears, anticipation and excitement grow to the point that some steam must be released. While some choose to release this by posting and re-posting anything even tangentially relevant to the program and others pile on the facepalm "How can you be dumb enough to clutter the board with that!" comments, I think that perhaps an outpouring of creativity and thoughtful expression will help.
Change permeates camp.
Coaches, systems, and scoreboards.
Tradition restored?
Who will step forward?
What metrics give us most hope?
All weight change is good!
We will sacrifice
The flash of sixteen through Ds
For his post-game smile.

With the coming Fall
Promises of a return
Traditions restored
/pauses for fingersnapping....
August 15th, 2011 at 11:54 AM ^

Ohio is crashing down
Order is restored

Nineteen Days away
Brings black cleats to the green turf
Fans pack the big house

Up from the darkness,
A new era unfolded.
This is Michigan.
"Michigan football"
Is seven syllables long.
Perfect for haikus.
August 15th, 2011 at 2:49 PM ^
"Michigan football"
Is five syllables, silly.
still good for haikus.

Hoke is tremendous
Golden, Michigan feces
Defense, defense, Please
August 15th, 2011 at 12:19 PM ^
the air is cooling,
now, hope burns like a lantern
for Michigan, come
come, fall, come winter
come now, oh second new day,
the smell of roses
the smell of roses
clenched between teeth, lips, vic'try
that old smell, roses
August 15th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
Mattison's defense
Hoke will restore the glory

A new old era
<br>Many old questions remain
<br>Matt wile, welcome friend
August 15th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
Talk of football games
Will return to mgoblog
No need for haikus
August 15th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
You are quite correct:
Talk of actual games wins.
But, in the meantime . . .

Coney dogs for lunch

To celebrate the hopeful return of sticky hands and smart decisions on the punt return team:
The punt goes up high.
An arm extends to fair catch.
Drew Dileo rocks.
August 15th, 2011 at 1:56 PM ^
We once were split up
Now hoke's brought us back, to the
Team, the team, the team
August 15th, 2011 at 2:02 PM ^
This is Michigan,
Desmond, Woodson, now Denard.
Leaders and the best.
Coach Fred Jackson says
"This haiku reminds me of
Shakespeare, but with skill."
Meanwhile, the Buckeyes
defecate into coolers.
HALOL and GO BLUE!

Ominous black clouds

Might win seven games.
ND is not one of them.
Michigan not back.

Almost like the last two years
But now under lights

Hoke loves to say this:
"The team, the team, the team" for
paint covers "hard edge."
August 15th, 2011 at 3:18 PM ^
scents of burning wood
cold crisp morns once again
season's upon us
yost's big stadium
brandon's big marketing plan
hoke's big everything
on robinson's legs
and wiles' foot rest our dear
hope for salvation
now last year's record
and GERG's defensive beaver
fade in the rear view
August 15th, 2011 at 3:34 PM ^
August 15th, 2011 at 5:39 PM ^
Martin and T-Wolf

August 15th, 2011 at 5:46 PM ^
Sir Brady Hoke Points

Too many wide right

Oh, ticket office

Western Michigan
Denard slashes through Broncos
Must avoid Zajac
Irish Under Lights
Inebriation rampant
Post-pregame all day
Eastern Michigan
Washtenaw County prizefight
Wake me afterward
San Diego State
Tremendous victory o'er
Brady Hoke's last stop
Little Brown Jug match
Even the oh-eight team could
Still beat the Gophers
Northwestern QB
Should be for our defense a
Persa of interest
Little Brother game
Time to make Dantonio
A tragic hero
Purdue's Danny Hope
Beaten again feels So Low;
Whimpers like a babe
Children of the Corn
Need to experience a
Gut-wrenching loss now
Illinois was an
Important rival of ours
Back when Red Grange played
Huskers in Big Ten:
Kicked fluke doesn't make a champ!
Family's civil war...
VoldeTressel gone
Our long national nightmare
Ends: BEAT OHIO!
August 15th, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
Snowy november
A biting chill in the air
Victory is ours.
Forever altered
Undeterred we ride to war
The future is bright.
August 15th, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
Waiting for the fall
Excited about the change
Michigan is back
August 15th, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^

hard edge week is every week
fall features manball
August 15th, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^

What the fuck was that about??
Time for 4-3-4.
