Senior Day Haiku

This Saturday will mark the fourth senior day in the history of this fine blog. Tomorrow afternoon 18 seniors will run out of the tunnel for the last time wearing the Blue and White. Some of them will go on to try to earn a roster spot in the NFL. Others will go on to lead successful careers in business and life. Some are stars. Some are little known walk ons. They got up every day at 5 AM for four years to lift weights and run sprints so they could put on a show for us twelve Saturdays a year. They are heroes. They are legends. They are Penn State football.
If you're new to BSD this season, we have a tradition where we honor all of the senior players, from the All Americans to the third string long snapper, with a little ditty we call Senior Day Haiku. Feel free to add your own Haiku in the comments. We'll go in alphabetical order.
P - Jeremy Boone
He must hate the ball
Holy Cow did you see that?
He just hit the moon!
QB - Daryll Clark
Roll out and go deep
Never good enough for some
Just short of legend
TE - Brennan Coakley
You might have been good
Just too many injuries
We will never know
DE - Tom Golarz
Did you notice that
Golarz rhymes with solarz?
That is all I got
DE - Jerome Hayes
I still remember
You sacking Jimmy Clausen
Man, that was awesome
LB - Josh Hull
Went from suck to good
It must have been the mustache
Bow-chicka-bow-bow
OL - Dennis Landolt
Quiet performer
Right or left doesn't matter
I got your back, Clark
LB - Sean Lee
Your torn ACL
Brought you back another year
We're thankful for that
WR - Patrick Mauti
Sorry ‘bout the knee
Wait, you're not the linebacker?
Your brother is good
OL - Nerraw McCormack
You waited your turn
Got your chance but hurt yourself
Wasn't meant to be
CB - Shelton McCullough
Ran out the tunnel
I would kill to do that once
Gradulations, dude
DT - Jared Odrick
You know I own you
Double team? Doesn't matter
Running back is mine
LS - Andrew Pitz
The unheralded
Long snappers are people too
You did a good job
OL - Ako Poti
Please don't let Clark die
Nightmares of Heyward haunt me
Please, God, make it stop
TE - Andrew Quarless
Crossing the middle
Missed a block and dropped a pass
Joe's dog house must suck
TE - Mickey Shuler
Like father like son
All you did was play steady
Paterno likes that
CB - Knowledge Timmons
What was that blue streak?
Knowledge gunning the sideline
Look out return man
CB - A.J. Wallace
High expectations
Joe says too loosey goosey
Cover-3 just blows

Fair weather fans ask
How will you be remembered?
A true Penn Stater!
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?

Ha!
Shelton’s was my favorite. Gradulations, Mike.

From what I've been hearing from some "people" over the last couple of years...
Would not Senior Day “Country” Music Refrains be more appropriate?

Almost Heaven
Josh Hull’s moustache
Slow as molasses
Still looks effing cool

Almost Heaven, Josh Hull’s moustache
Slow as molasses, still looks effing cool
Brandon Ware’s there
Bigger than Mark May
Smaller than 14’s ego
Growin’ like a breeze
Too Country, State College
Tis the place I belong
Josh Hull’s moustache, Clark fist pumps
Take me home, too country
All our memories belong to JoePa
Plain white jerseys, stranger to Heismans
Testaverde, cursing Sandusky
Poor dumb Michael Irvin
Short guys hit him hard
Too Country, State College
Tis the place I belong
Josh Hull’s moustache, Clark fist pumps
Take me home, too country
I hear Steve Jones, in the afternoon he calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin’ down the road,
I get a feelin’ that I should have been home yesterday,
Yesterday.
Too Country, State College
Tis the place I belong
Josh Hull’s moustache, Clark fist pumps
Take me home, too country
Take me home, too country
Take me home, too country
Sam Lickliter. Never forgive. Never forget. Beat IU.

Send this to Kerry Collins and see if he'll record it
Awesome. Just awesome.

My fist pump strikes fear
In the hearts of defenders
Don’t try to stop me

Boone
Could have been the best
Punter in the Big Ten Conf.
And then Pryor joined

I still crack up when I think of last year
when they compared him to different “old” things and saw which was older (I think it was the OrSt game).
“JoePa is older than sliced bread” was priceless.

Clark
Fist-pump of fury
Hands of play-action pass
Leather flight, blue sky
Hull
There once was a stache from Nantucket
Uhh…….. damn writers block!
