College Football Poetry
There was something poetic about this weekend's football results. It moved me to capture the moment.
College Football Haiku
Last week; bitter loss
Spartans revel; couches flinch
Hubris dons Green, White
Purdue Pete rose up
“Spoilermakers” crushed Spartan
Dreams, Wolverines smile

Ironed Khaki Pants
And Also
Taco Pants; Go Blue!

Taco Pants. Haven’t heard that one in quite some time.

A basketball Haiku...
Eli Brooks Returns
For Fifth Season
Is Twenty Seven
November 9th, 2021 at 9:44 AM ^
Ah, the old 5-4-5 haiku. Very nice.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:08 AM ^
Lol, I didn't want to say anything, but that was perfect, Magnus!
November 9th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
I love how everyone immediately counts syllables with haikus instead of paying attention to the substance. We were taught poorly.

Ojabo strip sack
Recovered in the end zone
Refs fuck us again
November 9th, 2021 at 9:41 AM ^
Cold November night
The game was mostly boring
We won, we move on
November 9th, 2021 at 9:43 AM ^
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Mel Tucker took an L
and that spells LSU
November 9th, 2021 at 9:55 AM ^
LSU would become my 2nd favorite team if they poached both Saban & Tucker (however he turns out) from MSU.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:44 AM ^
Am I the only one that want Tucker to stick around so that he can suffer multiple defeats at the hands of Harbaugh and retire an utterly defeated man? I hate the fact that he could walk away with a 2-0 record in the rivalry.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:44 AM ^
IDK why but an MSU team, with a close win at Spartan Stadium over a Michigan team that played two QBs, followed by getting blitzed in West Lafayette, then finishing 10-2 but not winning the conference and having their coach go to LSU sounds kinda familiar
November 9th, 2021 at 9:46 AM ^
Just curious, Mr. OP, do you have MeanJoe07's permission to post poetry here? MeanJoe07 is our MGoPoetLaureate.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:25 AM ^
an amazing show of recognizing your arch enemy.
are you getting soft on us?
November 9th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
MGoRules are MGoRules. I'm the designated oppressor of marsupials here. Nobody else is allowed to throw shade at the vermin.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:30 AM ^
I was not aware
of MeanJoe7's lofty air
Gladly I defer
November 9th, 2021 at 11:12 AM ^
Thanks. Stay in your lane, buddy.
November 9th, 2021 at 12:06 PM ^
Mean Joe writing poetry?
How intoxicated on balsamic refreshments does he need to be in order to string words together semi-coherently ?
November 9th, 2021 at 2:57 PM ^
It's kind of weird poetry buried in his posting history.
November 9th, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
Sparty Super Bowl
Flukish, ref aided win
Tucker plays tough guy
Next week, no ref help
Sparty regress to the mean
Road loss, no more luck
U-M, O-S-U
For the Big Ten East Title
World as it should be
Regional Program
M-S-U irrelevant
Mel Tucker Leaving
Tucker house money
Gambles for LSU job
Sparty the bridesmaid
November 9th, 2021 at 10:09 AM ^
Damn, boi! You vying for that poet laureate spot? :)
November 9th, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
Ryan Day; douchebag
A rodent, plagued by
Fetal alcohol syndrome
November 9th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
Not sure why you wanna post this now. We have another heartbreaking loss coming this weekend so we're gonna be in the same boat as sparty late Saturday afternoon. Inability to score TDs in the red zone and the B1G making sure the refs screw us as many times as possible is a recipe for disaster for this weekend
November 9th, 2021 at 10:33 AM ^
Fear of the unknown
May paralyze some; yet cause
Others to believe
November 9th, 2021 at 10:47 AM ^
It's not the fear of the unknown....it's the knowledge of past performances
November 9th, 2021 at 11:13 AM ^
To seek the last word
Is often futile, seldom
is it successful
November 9th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
Back atcha
November 9th, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
Michigan got screwed
the Referees got it wrong
michigan state sucks
November 9th, 2021 at 10:13 AM ^
There once was a coach named Tucker
an arrogant, smug, mother-fucker
after one lucky call
he thought he'd win it all
But Purdue proved he was just a wannabe sucker.
November 9th, 2021 at 10:22 AM ^
There once was an edge named Aiden
who higher and higher PFF kept gradin'
He is simply the best
miles above the rest
with no sign his star is fadin'
November 9th, 2021 at 10:43 AM ^
With Ojabo, he of the Scots,
Aiden and David took shots
at lineman they smashed
and QBs they thrashed
PFF likes them a lot.
November 9th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
A-I-D-A-N
Spell his name properly please
On Heisman’s Trophy
November 9th, 2021 at 11:46 PM ^
Apologies misspelling displeased
Cuz Aidan’s 2 As no Es
He’s taking names
while spellcheck still maims
You sure Rudddddddddock has 9 Ds?
November 9th, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
Choppy win full of
injuries pre-OSU.
Ugh, Indiana
November 9th, 2021 at 10:45 AM ^
Put down the bottle
Attempted cleverness fail
Time to go to sleep
November 9th, 2021 at 12:11 PM ^
Dare I start dreaming
OSU is beatable
Not again Lucy

November Maize & Blue Villanelle
Spilling blood, maize and blue, each Saturday left ... a fight
Previous years, experience tells the woes of November, humility
Hope still springs, the team will prevail on any given night
Yesterday's pain with zebra's aid, led to more disaster plight
Greater value, team or player, Walker prevailed with great ability
Spilled our blood, to the green and white, late October ... lost fight
Redemption song, snooze of a tune, Haskins..TEs...might
Concerns a bruise, status of depth, due to Hoosier physicality?
Hope still springs, after the team prevailed on an early November night
Past indications, the road ahead vital...will Harbaugh take it light?
or, will he, "white out" dissatisfaction, and set the course for respectability
Blood to spill, please be white and blue, destiny awaits ... let's fight
For if we do, the trap (though, made set), can lead us to greater height
no reason to turtle, or give pass to the wind...imagine the possibility
If hope still springs, conference title hopes on the last November night
And you my brethren, stay true...stay positive...stay hype
These days are rare, opportunity awaits, no reason for toxicity
Let's spill the blood, scarlet and gray, and finally win The Game ... we fight
And hope will spring, across the land, joyous screams throughout the night
November 9th, 2021 at 3:51 PM ^
Wow, awesome job!
November 9th, 2021 at 8:13 PM ^
Thanks
November 9th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
Hail to the Victors, valiant. Hail to the conquering heroes. Hail, hail, to Michigan...
November 9th, 2021 at 4:07 PM ^
I once knew a coach from East Lansing
Who’s finger was sized for the East-Ring
Though hardly soft was this Sparty
Revealed at a sofa burning party
A tiny pecker after a Purdue de-pantsing!

Haikus don't have semicolons

Two cent, forty-six

Maize, blue, and Marine.
