I had planned on doing only ten of these, but then I looked at who was left on the bracket and realized that I'd left out Clemson from my rikus. Then I looked at the bracket and decided that I should do Ohio State as well, so here we are. These two teams are forever linked and have had a lot in common over the years; my rikus (hatekus?) address at least one aspect of that togetherness.

Dawg2011 posted a simple yet eloquent hateku expressing his disdain for the Big 3 and liked it so much that he set it as his new sig. General or specific expressions of haiku hate are encouraged, or you can just enjoy today's selections. How many rikus will I end up writing? Who knows? It's the off-season for a few more days, and I never know what I might end up writing. For all I know, I might decide that my Bama riku is no good and that I deserve another chance to get it right. I tried to add a poll so that people could decide whether they liked "Ri-ku" or "Hate-Ku" better (and I probably would've included a Statler and Waldorf-esque "And whoooooo cares? Bwahahahaha!" selection), but I could not figure out how to do so. Oh well.

Reminds us all of bagmen

And tainted champions.
