All-Haiku Bowl Predictions
Dec
15
2008
Editor’s note: today’s contribution is from guest writer Craigg Westerstream.
Since they are gaining in popularity, the all-haiku predictions are now making an appearance on Some Blog Site – still America’s only all-haiku college football BCS bowl predictions.
This is with apologies to TMQ, whom I can reference but not link to for cheerleader-based reasons. He has his pre-season NFL predictions in haiku form. During this year’s all-haiku predictions, TMQ mentioned that his used to be the only haiku predictions, but someone else began copying him. I thought, “If someone else can copy him, why can’t I?” I am now empowered!
These are listed in order of date (earliest first). Some picks are whom I think will win, and some picks are whom I want to win. I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide which is which. Remember: all predictions wrong or … okay, I’ll stop there as I don’t want to plagiarize TMQ, just slightly imitate him.
