X Haiku - revenge edition

[Jorgensen]

Beat down the Muskies
So badly that their program
Ceases to exist

 

[Dove]

This game, X rated.
Huskies will maul and pillage.
And there will be blood.

 

[Malamute]

Clingan runs the point
Diarra frustrates Nunge
Coach makes adjustments

 

[XLCenterFan]

Cant wait for tonight.
Storrs is the scene of the crime.
Musketeers get smacked.

 

[Umami Zen]

Vegas backin' Dan
Great time to be Gampel fan
Redemption-We can.

 

[HuskyHawk]

A long day livin'
in Cinci, eat spaghetti
with chili on top

And we're bad Huskies
Don't even miss shots, bad dogs
Just breakin' your hearts

Stop Free, Freemantle
Husky shots will be fallin'
Stop Free, Freemantle

 

[Kolumbo]

Those pesky muskies
Will be hooked, arrested by
Deputy Huskies

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Sunday was a start.
Just whetting my appetite.
On Wednesdays, we feast.

 

[huskyjawz]

Yes X marks the spot
Storrs Gampel Pa-vil-i-on
Where Huskies score big

Had to use dashes
So there is no questioning
Syllables by Hans

 

[Doginaus]

I'm not gonna lie,
the bleeding has got to stop.
This game is a must!

Each loss has been close...
for three quarters of the game,
then the wheels fall off.

Stay focused, stay sharp!
Need forty minutes to win.
Whatever it takes!

Huskies can win this,
there is no doubt about it.
Start hard...finish strong!

 

[UconnFanDC]

Uconn the X-Terminator
No stopping these Dawgs
Mission Not Impossible

This my first time doing this. Hope I did well

 

[Son of Robert]

Gotta stop Jack Nunge!
rebounding a big deal here
THIS! is a big game

 

[bendm]

xavier marks the spot
where UConn turns it around
here we come Big East

 

[huskyjawz]

Uconn the X-Terminator
No stopping these Dawgs
Mission Not Impossible

This my first time doing this. Hope I did well

I like the message
But it's poor execution
Sprungfeld please explain

 

[Tyler2Rings]

X ain't gon' give it
To our UConn ruff ryders
Put em in the dirt!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yes X marks the spot
Storrs Gampel Pa-vil-i-on
Where Huskies score big

Had to use dashes
So there is no questioning
Syllables by Hans

Appreciated
Avoids ambiguity
Stresses team concept

Mileage can vary
I pronounce it "puh-vill-yun"
Neither's incorrect

xavier marks the spot
where UConn turns it around
here we come Big East

This one's trickier
"ex-ay-vee-er," "zay-vee-er,"
Or bendm's "zay-vyer"

None are incorrect
But each might be confusing
For haiku counter

Now, begins teaching
Haiku 'po-ems' have 3 lines
With syllable counts

The first line counts 5
The second line counts 7
The third line counts 5

Game Day Haiku thread
'Should' contain only haiku
No other writing

Questions, corrections
comments, or explanations
All in haiku form

There's a learning curve
Often we make counting goofs
That we can't correct

There's a small window
Allowed to edit our posts
It is what it is

Creative posters
Now acknowledge their errors
And do 'make-up' posts

'Apology' posts
Of course are done in haiku
Stoking the mojo

Which brings us to this
A first-time haiku poster
A new team member

Uconn the X-Terminator
No stopping these Dawgs
Mission Not Impossible

This my first time doing this. Hope I did well

Close, but no cigar
Three lines: Five, seven, and five
Start low and go slow

No full sentences
One hundred percent haiku
it's a discipline

Like shooting free throws
It is muscle memory
Practiced ritual

Next, I will attempt
To refashion your post in
Five, seven, five form

"No stopping these Dawgs
UConn X-terminator
Mission Possible"

Count the syllables
"Check your work," like teacher said.
Then post your haiku

So give it shot
You are hereby invited
To post in haiku

Keep it quite simple
One haiku and nothing else
Five, seven, then five

We each play our part
The coaches, players, and fans
Working together

I wish you the best
In admirable efforts
"UconnFanDC"

 

[storrsroars]

If UConn beats X
Tonight, will anyone give
Dan Hurley props for it?

 

[Doginaus]

The haiku's are fire!
Everyone's on the same page!
Keep up the good work!

 

[TheChamps990411]

We need this win bad
Because this team really stinks
Now lets right the ship

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Make layups, drain threes
Defend with vigor, block out
And rebound the ball

This is the perfect
Time to make a bold statement
And vanquish the X

 

[Son of Robert]

X men a'comin
ain't no superheroes here
Huskies, own the night

 

[DonnellBev]

Huskies will win tonight
If the refs stop calling these
Soft fouls on our boys

 

[Huskybass]

Time for home cookin'
Nunge soup for you
Huskies feast tonight

 

[JakeTheDog]

So give it shot
You are hereby invited
To post in haiku

Nicklaus missed gimmes
Heck, even Shaq missed some dunks
Kinda like line one

Revenge of the DOG
Rated X not for the weak
Expect bites and marks
