Preseason haiku

Submitted by OHbornUMfan on

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.

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

Tim and Tom depart
At least '12 is almost full
Crap, all those previews

MANBALL approaches
Hope for no fullback shuffle
And Denard set lose

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!

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

Sir Brady Hoke Points

at just about everything

we will all be touched

 

Too many wide right

oh no another field goal

please save us Matt Wile

 

Oh, ticket office

where are our student tickets

I want to know seat.

 

Haikus are cool

and make MGoBlog better

than all other sites

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!
