All-Haiku Bowl Predictions, 2017
Dec
15
2017
Based on the popularity existence of last year’s article predicting bowl games in haiku form, I present to you this year’s all-haiku bowl game predictions. Still America’s only all-haiku college football bowl game predictions.
These are listed in order of date (earliest first). Some picks are whom I think will win, and some picks are whom I want to win. I’ll leave it to you, the reader, to decide which is which.
Dec. 16th
New Orleans Bowl
It seems like these small
bowl games take turns with who gets
the early kickoff.
Troy over North Texas
Cure Bowl
I still really like
that Western Kentucky’s name
is the Hilltoppers
WKU over Georgia St.
Las Vegas Bowl
A bronco should be
able to beat a duck in
most football-type stuff
Boise St. over Oregon
New Mexico Bowl
Marshall’s nickname is
The Thundering Herd. That’s fun.
But herd of what? Rams?
Colorado St. over Marshall
Camellia Bowl
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Camellia”
Arkansas St. over MTSU
Dec. 19th
Boca Raton Bowl
Each team is first place
in the eastern division.
But in which conference?
FAU over Akron
Dec. 20th
Frisco Bowl
I think they should have
kept the former bowl game name:
Miami Beach Bowl.
SMU over La. Tech
Dec. 21st
Gasparilla Bowl
I’m not going to fall
into their trap of looking
up “Gasparilla”
FIU over Temple
Dec. 22nd
Bahamas Bowl
This bowl game is more
convenient for each team than
the Hawai’i Bowl.
UAB over Ohio
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Famous potatoes?
Or is it a famous bowl?
It’s ambiguous.
CMU over Wyoming
Dec. 23rd
Birmingham Bowl
What’s a Red Raider?
My guess it is not someone
who can manage bulls.
South Florida over Texas Tech
Armed Forces Bowl
Since there is only
one branch here, shouldn’t it be
the armed force bowl game?
San Diego St. over Army
Dollar General Bowl
Toledo’s looking
for revenge after last year’s
Camellia Bowl.
Toledo over Appalachian St.
Dec. 24th
Hawaii Bowl
The Hawaii Bowl
is not a real bowl game but
just a vacation
Houston over Fresno St.
Dec. 26th
Heart of Dallas Bowl
It’s a shame that the
Cotton Bowl game is not at
its own stadium.
WVU over Utah
Quick Lane Bowl
I would normally
pick NIU, but this year,
I’m going to pick Duke
Duke over NIU
Cactus Bowl
UCLA seemed
decent against USC
so I’ll pick them here.
UCLA over Kansas St.
Dec. 27th
Independence Bowl
It would be great if
this bowl game did not allow
scholarship players.
Florida St over Southern Miss
Pinstripe Bowl
Iowa has a
signature win this year but
what does BC have?
Iowa over BC
Foster Farms Bowl
Who is Foster, and
why do I care that he farms?
Utah’s got this one.
Purdue over Arizona
Texas Bowl
Texas gets to play
in their own bowl game this year.
They could use the help.
Texas over Missouri
Dec. 28th

This looks to be a
fairly localized affair.
Should please the home crowd.
Virginia over Navy
Camping World Bowl
If the Hokies play
like they did against Clemson
they’ll have no problem.
VT over Ok St.
Alamo Bowl
Stanford is the one
exception I make about
singular team names.

It’s the 40th
year of this bowl game. Happy
Anniversary!

the school Wake Forest
Wake Forest over Texas A&M
Sun Bowl
This is one of those
games that I’m having trouble
caring about much.
NC St. over Arizona St.
Music City Bowl
The Wildcats have played
well this year and they should play
well for this game too.

This should be renamed
“Neighbors of Arizona”
bowl game for this year.

The battle of the
major conference champions
spurned by committee

going to put on a good
show before the draft.

The Outback Bowl should
be played in Australia,
not in Florida

I have sympathy
for both these teams, who were left
out of the playoffs.
Auburn over UCF
Citrus Bowl
The Irish return
to glory just in time to
play Michigan next.
Notre Dame over LSU
Jan. 1st
Rose Bowl
Can’t cheer for Big Ten
in this Rose Bowl, so I guess
we’ll cheer for Big 12.
Oklahoma over Georgia
Sugar Bowl
I’m hoping for a
50-point blowout again.
Pick conference winners.
Clemson over Alabama
Jan. 8th
Cleverly-named National Championship Game Bowl
This pick will not be
worth much if I got both the
semifinals wrong.
Clemson over Oklahoma
And that’s it for this year’s BCS and non-BCS bowl game predictions. Tune in later, about the second week of January, for the results show.
The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke through Elijah.
