Senior Day Haiku Comment Count

Brian

An annual tradition. Special bonus this year: holy pants there are no seniors. Usually I skip a bunch of anonymous walk-ons who never saw the field unless they have a silly name; this year this is it.

Michigan runningback Kevin Grady runs the ball  during the second half of the Wolverine's 2009 season opener 31-7 win, versus Western Michigan University at Michigan Stadium, Saturday, September 5th.<br />

It goes thump. Sometimes
it catches or drops a pass.
Mostly it goes thump.

Perry Dorrestein

Bad back, outed grades
but through it all a kickin'
Punisher tattoo

Steve Schilling

Been around forever
Witnessed the Horror up close
Football purple heart

John Ferrara

Thrown into the fire
just two weeks after switching
'08: the nutshell

Adam Patterson

One last swing hits sod
A shaft of daylight strikes down
Hello two deep

Renaldo Sagesse

Hurling hockey kids,
the largest man in Quebec came
and he was all right

Greg Banks

Took the Moosman crown
as player most likely to
impress your TA

Obi Ezeh

Why did you tattoo
"Stand around, think about plants"
across your torso?

mark-moundros-nwBONUS NOT MEAN HAIKU

Like Schilling, lived
through every last awful bit
and never complained

Jonas Mouton

The west wind in fall
brings everything, and then
takes everything

Mark Moundros

Walk-on captains are
intimidatingly bald
pretty much always

James Rogers

The last vagabond
a-wander from spot to spot:
Dread Pirate Rogers

COMMENCE THE SYLLABLE COUNTING.

I love this senior class.

And, I dont care how many folks want to poo poo their efforts or the quality of the wins the last two weeks, but I'm proud of them for sticking it out and couldnt be more thrilled that at future Michigan reunions they get to talk about at least ending their career in a bowl game and not be weighed down as the group who went three years with a losing record.

Go get 'em Saturday, boys, and God bless your cotton pickin' maize and blue hearts

I think WalterMitty meant to agree with you and that his criticism was pointed at Brian.  After all, I don't think "every single word that you have written on the subject" is very many words unless one assumes "you" to be Brian.

Also, "....Thank you Obi" sounds like it agrees with your suggestion to give Obi his due respect.

"Freep"

michael rosenberg

"too much practice" screams headline

oops, 15 minutes

"Defense"

coach rich rodriguez

installed his fancy offense

but forgot this thing

"GERG"

Your silvery mane

belies your playcalling skills

rock, scissors, touchdown

"Stadium Addition"

You used to be big

But now you are bigger and

so much more bricksy

"Denard"

Iso left, then right

Shoelaces flapping in wind

It's dilithium

"Dantonio"

Stop glaring at me

Little giants or no, you're

still a giant douche

"Bielema"

Can run up the score

Hawkeye tattoo still on leg

Please remove the stick
