Our real Fiesta Bowl preview is coming this afternoon (probably just after lunch). Until then, we’re going to serenade you with some haiku, which I’m pretty sure is Japanese for silly poem. Enjoy these, and if you’re feeling spry, add your own in the comments.
OU way too good
Blowout foregone conclusion
Sugar Bowl repeat?
Stewart at the helm
No reason to hold back now
Trick plays a’plenty
Devine, Steve Slaton
Schmitt, Reynaud, Sanders, Pat White
Too fast for OU
Starts at 8 tonight
Kickoff shortly afterward
And drunk by halftime
Filed under: fiesta bowl, oklahoma |
West BY GOD Virginia 
No Graves, Mack, or Rod
Some disappointment abounds
So lets kick some butt
Not drunk til halftime?
Beer is good for pre-game too
Mounties whip OU
We hate ex-Coach Rich
But love White, Slaton, and Schmitt
Sooners fall again
1982
Will repeat itself tonight
Score will be the same
Big East needs a win
UConn and USF choked
Let’s go, Mountaineers!
A Fiesta win
Will exorcise Pitt demons
Ruin Rich Rod’s day!
Sooner steals a coat
Store security calls cops
“Please don’t tase me, bro!”
Mountaineer Football
One day we’ll hire a new coach
Throw the effin ball
Jimbo, Terry, Doc
Next interviewee: Sneezy?
We don’t want a dwarf!
WVU is great
Herbstreit, Holtz, Mark May Suck it
Oklahoma Who?
Bowl trophy beckons
National Championship shot
Will keep ’til next year
—————————
Coach Stew’s light-hearted
His refreshing approach will
Help players stay loose
—————————
Desert Fiesta
Mountaineers are all business
Pat White gets it done
—————————
Haikus on-the-job
Productivity plummets
I’m gonna get fired
GlibGlub is winner
No haiku writers like him
Go work for paper
You’re too kind, Jon D.
I can’t explain what’s happened
Haikus keep coming
———————————
I have not written
This many haikus since I
Was in junior high
———————————
Tostitos trophy
Will look good displayed in our
Hall of Traditions
———————————
Just way too much salt
is my complaint with their brand
of tortilla chips
———————————
And, well, their salsa
Frankly tastes too ketchupy
But the bowl game’s cool
———————————
Governor Joe thinks
Saban should be the head coach
You keep dreaming, Joe
———————————
Pastilong in charge?
What’s up with the coaching search?
Program in crisis?
———————————
Things looking iffy
Garrison must right the ship
True fans keep the faith
———————————
Boosters in revolt
Kendrick donates one million
Ken, that’s a good start . . .
———————————
Rich in Ann Arbor
Pitt loss lives in infamy
Mounties persevere
———————————
Mountaineer mascot
Hold on to your coonskin cap
And load your rifle!
———————————
This sure has been fun
Charley West’s haikus, I mean
So, same time next year?
Prodigious haikus
GlibGlub posts, and posts, and posts
Commenter of year

Attack of the Post-Game Haikus (I promise, no more after these):
Game time approaches
Anxiety level spikes
Waiting’s the hardest
———-
Umm, Frankie Valli?
Odd choice to do the anthem
Oh, say, can’t you sing?
———-
Pat McAffee kicks
A 50-yarder sails wide
Inauspicious start
———-
Defense awakens
Wicks and the seniors
We’ll miss them next year
———-
Slaton pulls hammy
Noel Devine takes the field
Seamless transition

Where was Steve Slaton?
The question of this season
He deserved better

Pat White runs and throws
Jump-starts next year’s Heisman run
What a fine young man

McAffee kicks two
field goals and makes awesome punts
Redemption is sweet

Owen Schmitt rumbles
Running off into legend
A fitting swan song
———-
Bob Stoops goes for 2
Inexplicable onsides
kick seals Sooners’ fate

White to Gonzales
Seventy-nine yard TD
Do that more next year!

The Fiesta Bowl:
Come for the football and stay
For the penalties
———-
Devine takes it in
Our longest run in a bowl
Explosive offense!
———-
Fiesta shocker
Forty-eight to twenty-eight
‘Eers over Sooners
———-
OU and its fans
Are not too fond of Glendale
First Boise, now this
———-
Owen Schmitt sheds tears
TosTito Gonzales too
I’m getting verklempt

On the message boards
Classy OU Sooner fans
Tip hats to the ‘Eers

This team held the rope
Quite unlike Rich Rodriguez
Fiesta Bowl Champs

Loveable Coach Stew
Takes the reins of the program
I sure hope this works

On success and reach new heights
