Xavier Game Day Haiku Thread

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Big East Opener
Focus on the little things
They add and compound

Count your syllables
Avoid ambiguity
Nothing but haiku

We are cheerleaders
Encouraging excellence
Modeling success

 

[6in25]

Hans woke up early
Hans wants perfect haiku thread
Too big of an ask?

I do not think so
I mean, it's the holidays
Give Hans this one gift

You'll get a gift, too
Mojo helps the boys secure
Win at the XL

 

[Waquoit]

Xavier Job 1:
We will not lose by more than
40 points again

 

[storrsroars]

The haiku thread is
The only place where I will
Abide compelled speech.

That said, I really
Want to mess this up and ruin
Hans' perfection dreams.

But I can't do it.
However, I will ask for
A judge's ruling:

Is it Zay-vee-er
Or Zayv-yer? Did Waquoit ruin
The thread already?

No Freemantle means
This Musketeers squad is just
A Mickey Mouse club.

 

[controlfade]

Big East opener
UCONN will not lose this one
better by the day

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Chili makes me dump.
Spaghetti is even worse...
An XL-sized one.

That said, I really
Want to mess this up and ruin
Hans' perfection dreams.

But I can't do it.

A Mickey Mouse club.

Mission accomplished
Unsure if intentional
Nice job either way

 

[Son of Robert]

Going to the game
sit in my 'forever' seats
BIG EAST opener

Take it easy Hans
it's just poetry my man
everyone's haiku

 

[Samoo]

First conference game
The domination begins
Just do it tonight

 

[TheShot1990]

Foot stays on gas, yes?
Unranked foes still chase the prize
Relentless pursuit

 

[storrsroars]

Mission accomplished
Unsure if intentional
Nice job either way

Ha! Unintended.
U I is a dipthong here
Thus one syllable

It's a strange word, no?
Most say, "You rooned it," but then
Say "Roo-in-nay-shun"

That's my defense and
I'm sticking to it. But good
To add the debate!

To add the debate!

I don't know how they
Speak in Pittsburgh so maybe
A solid defense

However, my friend -
Who goes by the name "Google" -
Says "ruin" is two

Our shared love for Cam
Makes me overlook this, plus
That's a job for Hans

 

[Scottobot]

With mojo reclaimed
UCONN begins the big east
With Xavier feast

 

[TroyHall98]

Defense locks them down,
Depth on display, fresh legs fly,
Xavier’s fight stalls.

 

[bendm]

Nowell's time is now
missing piece of the puzzle
need him to three-peat

 

[RedStickHusky]

Haiku hiatus
And we are back from the dead
should I start again?

 

[huskyjawz]

Sad no Freemantle
But beware of the Hunter
Three dollar beer night!

 

[Husky Alien]

Tonight is a blurr
A white out is to occur
UConn will prevail

 

[huskyjawz]

I don't know how they
Speak in Pittsburgh so maybe
A solid defense

However, my friend -
Who goes by the name "Google" -
Says "ruin" is two

Our shared love for Cam
Makes me overlook this, plus
That's a job for Hans

Hans says to avoid
Ambiguities, but how
We're playing Xa-vier?

And now ru-in too?
What are we going to do?
Huskies know, just win.

 

[UKemba15]

UConn beats Xavier,
Reed on his best behavior,
Hurley the savior.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

"Roon X-ay-vi-er" ?
Or, is it "Roo-in Zayv-yer" ?
Or, "Zay-vi-er roons" ?

That's why I avoid
ambiguity. But here,
it abounds, don't it?

@storrsroars gets his way
One gives and one takes away
It all evens out

How can this happen?
Winning cures ev-er-y-thing
One game at a time

That said, I really
Want to mess this up and ruin
Hans' perfection dreams.

Hans's possessive
Takes an extra syllable
So you got your wish

Ha! Unintended.
U I is a dipthong here
Thus one syllable

At today years old
I learned how to spell "diphthong"
from autocorrect

All is not haiku
But it affects the mojo
If you think it does

No foul in this case
Just surprised to learn it's like
"Ophthalmology"

Foot stays on gas, OK?
Unranked foes still chase the prize
Relentless pursuit

Neither "okay" nor
"Oklahoma" counts as a
Single syllable

 

[storrsroars]

Hans's possessive
Takes an extra syllable
So you got your wish

At today years old
I learned how to spell "diphthong"
from autocorrect

1. Subjective. You
Can't prove intent or typo.
2. Phuhck oph, OK?

 

[CL82]

Late to Haiku thread.
There is still plenty of time,
Prefer morning though.

Freemantle is out.
I feel so bad for that kid.
He can't catch a break.

So, mush you Huskies,
And win Big East opener!
We're movin' on up!

 

[huskyjawz]

I for one love it
How hard Hans scrutinizes
Haikus for mojo

 

[Uconn77Duke74]

Early in the year
Our Haiku skills were rusty
just like the Huskies
