PrintFor those of you new to BSD within the past year, we have a little tradition we like to call Senior Day Haiku to honor the great warriors who are about to play their last game on the field at Beaver Stadium. Readers are encouraged to write their own haikus, or if you are poetically challenged just share your favorite memories of these great Nittany Lions. And now without further delay in alphabetical order.
Deon Butler
Walk-on to starter
More than Engram and O.J.
Six yard out routes rock
Gerald Cadogen
Pulling down the line
Looking for someone to hit
Kill the linebacker
Paul Cianciolo
Michigan O-Six
Threw the touchdown to Tony
You'll always have that
Tony Davis
Always making plays
Always second to others
You have our respect
Josh Gaines
I will admit it
I didn't think you were good
But you proved me wrong
Kevin Kelly
Inconsistent yet
The Big Ten record holder?
How did that happen?
Dan Lawlor
Crushing bruising block
The last of a dying breed
The spread is for wimps
Mike Lucian
Tackle, guard, tight end
What the hell are you again?
Team player is all
Greg Miskins
A tight end really?
What was your number again?
You played? For Penn State?
Jordan Norwood
Oh for four inches
The NFL thinks you're short
But your hands are great
Rich Ohrnberger
Wasn't sure ‘bout you
Concentration is the key
Just don't jump offside
Mark Rubin
Freshman receiver
Broken leg. Moved to defense
Turned out pretty good
Tyrell Sales
Waited your turn here
Any other school you star
Not Linebacker U
Lydell Sargeant
At the Blue White Game
Looked annoyed to sign my hat
Sorry to bug you
Anthony Scirrotto
Don't hate on his girl
A cell phone and a posse
And you drink your lunch
A.Q. Shipley
Toughness Nastiness
Not a man to be messed with
Please don't hurt me, sir.
Derrick Williams
During the dark years
You came when no one believed
You were our savior

Greg Miskins
Easy on Miskins, he’s from my high school and NO ONE from my high school plays
for any Div I school let alone a major like Penn State. LET ME HAVE SOME PRIDE DAMNIT!! AT LEAST HE PLAYED!!
Is this going to be a regular feature?
When I read the one for Kevin Kelly I just shook my head slowly.
Haikus
Deon Butler
Started as unknown
Somehow caught Morelli’s throws
One of the all-time greats
Derrick Williams
When all hope was lost
When we were at rock bottom
Brought us to the top
Jordan Norwood
Steady, solid hands
Could play for Ed DeChelis
Glad he picked Joe Pa
Kevin Kelly
Fake field goal, touchdown!
Third time’s a charm in OT
Next NFL Gould?
Anthony Scirrotto
Lead the team in picks
Also lead them in knockouts
On and off the field
Mark Rubin
Not a Justin King
But forced fumble at OSU
Crowned him for a day
Sean Lee
Laurainaitis who?
Best ’backer wears Blue and White
Say your prayers, Pryor
Butler
I gues the finall line wasn’t correct, lets change it to:
Started as unknown
Somehow caught Morelli’s throws
One of the greatest

Derrick Williams
No more plays to make
Rush, return, and receiving
You could make them all
We had a bad start
At Northwestern in ’05
You saved our season
(alternate version:
He had a bad start
At Northwestern in ’05
You saved Robinson)
They said he was done
“Penn State needs Derrick Williams”
He wrote, and you came.

The Derrick Williams haikus almost bring a tear to my eye.
Penn State is really gonna miss that guy.
Receiver
They are small, wear blue,
But they can catch anything,
They are Penn State’s Smurfs.

Seniors
A legend’s twilight
You came and brought a new dawn
Thanks Penn State Seniors!

I for one think this is one of the most important senior days ever — because this is the class that turned it all around for us.
I for one agree
or should it be I for two agree?

To BSD and fans:
Mike, Kevin and RUTS
Their postings keep me online
I need my life back

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.
I'm surprised nobody brought this out yet

Whoa...

A great October

A natural high

An old school Penn State player
He played his damnedest
Mike Lucian
At some point in time
Every great team on the ropes
Needs a Mike Lucian
Greg Miskins
I don’t know you but,
You’d start over Quarless if
Heart beat potential.
Jordan Norwood
The only bad thing:
Graham Zug sits on the bench
Hey, that means you’re great!
Rich Ohrnberger
Number sixty-four
Then I remembered your name
Repeat Second down
Mark Rubin
For so very long
I confused you with Josh Hull
I apologize
Tyrell Sales
Always odd man out
But it’s hard to compete with
Connor and Bowman
Lydell Sargeant
California
Is listed as your home state
Rose Bowl I-N-T
Anthony Scirrotto
What people forget
Is that the great J Leman
Stole your old haircut
A.Q. Shipley
Leadership in spades
"Shake it off Darryl and play,
I’ll keep ‘em off you."

Wide receiver star
You are one prolific man

Oblong leather flight
Arms outstretched to the sky

The fast track
The right track
