E-Claire's Kollege Kegger

Crack open a beer...Because college football season is officially underway! So each week, I will (attempt) to recap the best - and the worst - games for you in quick and easy fashion...Much like your girlfriend at a frat party...Zing!

Premium games on tap...(The haiku edition): When Daft Funk informed me that he was going to write the Monday Afternoon Hangover in haiku form, I decided to follow suit (aka "steal his idea") and do the Kegger in haiku form as well...Kind of like a poetry-themed football Monday. Exciting, right?! Whatever. Let's just go with it...

Pitt upsets the Bulls
