For 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
