AND FINALLY: The good guys over at the Georgia Tech Sports Blog (no permalinks; scroll down) have posted some GT/Clemson haikus that surfaced on a Yellowjackets message board. They're pretty funny:
John Deere, famous brand
All those tractors 'round Clemson
Budweiser is good!
September distills
Orange tears and purple blood
Exit stadium
Singing Ramblin' Wreck,
Top deck Techies gasp for air.
Damn these seats are high!
Going to the game
A Tiger fans asks, "Would you...
...like some fries with that?"
"i puked this morning
the colors in it looked much
better than clemsons.
'Necks leaving the field
Orange and purple stalkers
Cows running in fear
No, no, I was just
Helping that sheep over the
fence. Got some chew man?
And then a Clemson fan showed up:
Thirty nine to three
That was the score in your house
Please shut your pie hole
As Tech blogger Scott wrote: "That had me cracking up. I mean THAT is what I call smack-talk. I love it."
Me too, Scott. Me too.
