MORNING BREW
Season review using haiku
After tomorrow's spring game, football and basketball news won't seriously start up again until August. It's time for reflection on these seasons and what made them memorable; resignations, a shoving match behind Wescoe and a guy named Farokhmanesh. And to do this, of course, the Brew handle to the HeiLo
If you've forgotten from your 8th grade English class, a haiku is a form of poetry which began developing in Japan between the 9th and 12th centuries. Though short, haikus can be difficult because of the constraining syllable limits: five for the first line, seven for the second and five again for the third.
So here we go. Again, we're recapping the men's basketball and football seasons in haiku form.
FOOTBALL:
Big things expected KU football with Todd R. Ranked top-25
Non-con games were jokes Though Duke was a bit feisty Hawks won all four games
Cyclones scored at will But Arnaud missed his mark Defense needs some work
A trip to Boulder
Win over Buffs expected
It was not to be
Briscoe just missed it Kansas comeback try failed 34-30
OU was scary
Reeing turnovers didn't help
Hawks no longer ranked
A shootout down south Red Raiders exposed KU 1-3 Big 12
Murmurs about Mark
Lots of questions being asked
It'd come to light soon
Loss vs. Kansas State

MEN'S BASKETBALL:

Blowout in Philly A close one against Cornell Still undefeated
Self falls to B. Pearl
Skylar McBee hips the three
jayhawks are orange crushed
Cruised through '09 sched
Closest game in St. Louis

Big 12 slate comes easy
Bears only tough early test
LaceDarius
College Gameday time,
Dickie V hanging with 'Cats
Clutch Sherron wins it
'Buffs seem pretty weak
But Hawks struggle in Boulder
Surprising close win
Gallagher-Iba
Kansas gets run out of gym
James Anderson, stud
Gallagher-Iba
Regular season
Sixth consecutive title
Four kisses trophy
Third win vs. K-State For the Big 12 tourney' ship No. 1 seed lock
Lehigh hangs around But Kansas is just too deep Round of 32
Northern Iowa Only a number nine seed Kansas should prevail
'Hawks started to press
A guy named Farokhmanesh
And that was the end.
Mario Little showed it
And Hawk fans could feel his pain
A great season gone
Josh Selby committed
Might be the top-ranked recruit
Hawks look like top-10
FRIDAY YOUTUBE SESH
The Friday Brew loves the full-court shots. The twist on this one? It comes after a front-flip on a trampoline. Search "Trumpoline Front Flip Full Court Shot" and enjoy.
