All-Haiku Bowl Predictions, 2015
Dec
17
2015
Based on the popularity existence of last year’s article predicting bowl games in haiku form, I present to you this year’s all-haiku bowl game predictions. Still America’s only all-haiku college football bowl game predictions.
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.
Dec. 19th
New Mexico Bowl
This game is back in
its rightful place as the first
bowl game of the year.
Arizona over New Mexico
Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl
I’d never heard of
Royal Purple before now.
Their marketing works.
Utah over BYU
Camellia Bowl
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Camellia”
Appalachian State over Ohio
Cure Bowl
If San Jose wins,
then both these bowl teams will have
a losing record.
San Jose State over Georgia State
New Orleans Bowl
They finally got
a team that’s not Lafayette
to play in this game.
Arkansas State over Louisiana Tech
Dec. 21st
Miami Beach Bowl
I just realized
that Western Kentucky’s name
is the Hilltoppers
Western Kentucky over South Florida
Dec. 22nd
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
I have a hard time
cheering for a football team
that is named the Zips.

the weeks they’ve had off.
Temple over Toledo
Dec. 23rd
Poinsettia Bowl
I don’t like going
against Boise State but the
Huskies are better
Northern Illinois over Boise State

Dec. 24th
Bahamas Bowl
Maybe a team from
Michigan can pull out a
victory this time.
Western Michigan over Middle Tenn.
Hawaii Bowl
Don’t let the Aztec’s
10 and 3 record fool you –
their conference is weak.
Cincinnati over San Diego State
Dec. 26th
St. Petersburg Bowl
UConn has played a
lot better teams than Marshall.
Now’s their chance to win.
Connecticut over Marshall
Sun Bowl
The Cougars’ logo
is too busy for my tastes.
I’ll still pick them though.
Washington State over Miami (Fla.)
Heart of Dallas Bowl
The stars at night are
big and bright, deep in the Heart
of Dallas Bowl game
Southern Miss over Washington
Pinstripe Bowl
It’s hard to pick this
game, but Indiana’s pass
defense is awful.
Duke over Indiana
Independence Bowl
I think the Hokies
will deliver and will win
one for the Beamer.
Virginia Tech over Tulsa
Foster Farms Bowl
The Cornhuskers have
a signature win this year,
but it’s only one.
UCLA over Nebraska
Dec. 28th

It will be tough for
Pittsburgh to handle Navy’s
good rushing offense.
Navy over Pittsburgh

Based on the common
opponent of Kent State, I
must pick CMU.
Central Michigan over Minnesota
Dec. 29th
Armed Forces Bowl
Both military-
themed bowls include a branch of
the military.
Air Force over California
Russell Athletic Bowl
This should be a fun
matchup between these two teams.
Baylor’s beat up, though.
North Carolina over Baylor
Arizona Bowl
In a battle of
Rams versus Wolfpack, I think
the Wolfpack will win.
Nevada over Colorado State
Texas Bowl
It’s a good thing for
LSU that this is not
the Texas Tech bowl
LSU over Texas Tech
Dec. 30th
Birmingham Bowl
What else is there to
do on New Year’s Adam but
watch middling bowl games?
Memphis over Auburn
Belk Bowl
This pick assumes that
the MSU players can
stay unarrested.
Miss. State over NC State
Music City Bowl
This is the first time
that either of these teams have
played in this bowl game.
Texas A&M over Louisville
Holiday Bowl
This game is aiming
to be the 4th string Rose Bowl.
It still might be fun.
Wisconsin over USC
Dec. 31st

I will be cheering
for the little guy, but I’m
not that confident.
Houston over Florida State

The Outback Bowl should
be played in Australia,
not in Florida
Northwestern over Tennessee

Taxslayer Bowl
Only important
bowl games should be played after

There are worse teams that
qualified for bowl games, but
K State is not good

Alamo Bowl
TCU wants to
be taken seriously.
A win here would help.
TCU over Oregon
Cactus Bowl
Not the latest start
but if they try they could be
the latest ending
West Virginia over Arizona State
Jan. 11th
Cleverly-named National Championship Game Bowl
This pick will not be
worth much if I got both the
semifinals wrong.
Clemson over Michigan State
And that’s it for this year’s BCS and non-BCS bowl game predictions. Tune in later, about the second week of January, for the results show.
Then Abner said to Joab, “Now let the young men arise and hold a contest before us.” And Joab said, “Let them arise.”
