Haiku Friday: Memorable Games

 


Yesterday I took seven members of my family to a Bowl Game. That sounds like quite a splurge, but it only cost $14 at $2 a ticket on the secondary market. Mostly, that's because we went to America's Least Popular Bowl Game, the Game Above Sports Bowl in Detroit. Formerly the Detroit Bowl, the Little Caesar's Bowl, the Motor City Bowl, and the Quick Lane Bowl, this year's version pitted Toledo (#4 in the MAC) vs. Pitt (#10 in the ACC). 

The game turned out to be fantastic! It was decided in 6 overtimes (Toledo finally won) and featured something I had never seen before-- a blocked extra point returned the other way for two points. It is reported to be the most overtimes ever in a bowl game. 

So let's haiku about memorable games this week. You don't have to have been there in person-- it just matters that it was memorable to you! Here, I will go first:

No bowl, Wisconsin
And these two seem second tier
But wow, what a game!

Now it is your turn! Just use the 5/7/5 syllable pattern and have some fun!

This Cathedral of Baseball

He could sit by his
New-fangled radio and
Hear Cards play all games.
