All-Haiku Bowl Predictions, 2021
Dec
15
2021
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. 17th
The teams are leaving
the country but they are not
leaving their time zone
Toledo over MTSU
Cure Bowl
NIU has won
infinitely more bowl games
than the Chanticleers.
NIU over Coastal Carolina
Dec. 18th
I know better as
a Michigan fan than to
pick against App. St.
App St. over WKU
New Mexico Bowl
I would like to pick
Fresno State but their program
is in disarray.
UTEP over Fresno St.
Independence Bowl
After all these years,
this bowl finally features
an Independent.
BYU over UAB
LendingTree Bowl
It’s too bad that the
Liberty Flames can’t go to
the Liberty Bowl
EMU over Liberty
L.A. Bowl
LA already
has the Rose Bowl so how ’bout
the Inglewood Bowl
Oregon St. over Utah St.
New Orleans Bowl
Louisiana
has five more wins than Marshall.
Good luck to Marshall.

Now they’re letting just
about everyone into
a bowl game this year.
Tulsa over OD
Dec. 21st
This bowl game is back
where it belongs in the list –
on 12/21.
Wyoming over Kent St.
Frisco Bowl
I’m picking the team
whose school abbreviation
contains four letters.
UTSA over SDSU
Dec. 22nd
Since there is only
one branch here, shouldn’t it be
the armed force bowl game?
Army over Missouri
Dec. 23rd
Now this is getting
to be quite ridiculous –
a single-use bowl.
N. Texas over Miami OH
Gasparilla Bowl
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Gasparilla”
Florida over UCF
Dec. 24th
Hawaii is back
to having a home bowl game.
Should fare well for them.
Memphis over Hawaii
Dec. 25th
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Camellia”
Georgia St. over Ball St.
Dec. 27th
Contrarian pick –
travel time should give Western
home field advantage.
WMU over Nevada
Military Bowl
Unlike the other
military bowl, this one
has no armed forces
BC over E. Carolina
Dec. 28th
Auburn lost their last
four games – I think they won’t turn
it around in time.
Houston over Auburn
First Responder
Why is Air Force here
and not Military Bowl?
These things make no sense.
Air Force over Louisville
Holiday Bowl
Why do they call it
Holiday Bowl when it’s not
on a holiday?
NC St. over UCLA
Liberty Bowl
Why didn’t this bowl
pick the Liberty Flames since
they have the same name?
Texas Tech over Mississippi St.
Guaranteed Rate Bowl
You don’t need to make
a Mountaineer out of a
Golden Gopher hill.
Minnesota over WVU
Dec. 29th
So two southern teams
are playing outside up north
and in December?

If this game ends in a tie,
that would be perfect.
VT over Maryland
Cheez-It Bowl
How many years can
the title sponsorship last?
Over/under: 4
Iowa St. over Clemson
Alamo Bowl
With two 10-win teams,
this could be a great bowl game…
if the Ducks show up.
Oregon over Oklahoma
Dec. 30th
It’s disconcerting
to picture a mayo bowl –
bowl full of mayo.
UNC over S. Carolina
Music City Bowl
Purdue has lost its
big-name players for the draft.
I still think they win.
Purdue over Tennessee

I think this should be
a very good game to watch.
Two Heisman hopefuls.

Las Vegas Bowl
Both teams have no wins
in this bowl, but it’s the first
trip for Wisconsin.

Not every school
has a unique enough name
for a TLA.

Out in the Outback
a Razorback would outlast
a Nitt’ny Lion.

I’m assuming that
Iowa can bounce back from
their most recent loss.
Iowa over Kentucky
Fiesta Bowl
I think Notre Dame
is going to want this one more.
Win one for the coach.
ND over Ok. St.
Rose Bowl
I’m picking Utah
because they’re the enemy
of my enemy.
Utah over Ohio St.
Sugar Bowl
Baylor’s already
beaten an 8th-ranked team so
they’ll handle one more.

Jan. 4th
LSU’s program
is not doing well at all.
Better luck next year.

This pick will not be
worth much if I got both the
semifinals wrong.

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.

Also, if you live anywhere near Pittsburgh, CMU means something different.
December 22nd, 2021 at 11:28 am
There is only one
CMU that plays football,
at least in Div 1.
