This week we are in too much pain following a four-game losing streak to formulate a traditional synopsis of the Texas football program. Instead, we chose to summarize the Iowa State game and highlights moving forward in a Japanese form of poetry, known as haiku.

 

KEVIN:

Sark, Sarkisian.

Offensive genius, ha.

More like offensive.

 

ANDREW:

Gritty. Cold. Ugly.

Glimmer. Hope. Touchdown.

Wait, there is a second half?

 

BOWEN:

So much turnover.

Seven and six would be nice.

Are we a blue blood?

 

JAKE:

Big embarrassment.

Can we still get to six wins?

Adios, Josh Moore.

 

BLAKE (special submission):

Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain.

Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Painful.

Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain. Pain.
