At first glance these guys are too serious. I'm lazy and reading about Sec football is boring. So I couldn't get interested in pretty much anything they were writing about, and maybe its because they care about the ACC. Go figure. So, their nickname makes me think of penises (teehee), their qb is a Smelley Cock, and their coach's head turns all red when he's angry. I think they need to be livened up a little.

I just viewed the site
No mention of Iowa at this site. Well, one guy, who runs the site I think, said the game was a “push” from the standpoint of point spread. They don’t know what to think of us. I suspect the team won’t either. Will we take them seriously? Questions…so many questions.

Okay, I just fired the first blog shot at their site.
Let’s see if they can muster enough interest to respond…although, this team is so mediocre that I would not be surprised if they fail to even notice my caustic post.

Seriously?
Did you read the bowl post? I’ll get around to talking about you guys in the coming weeks. Sorry I didn’t have a couple of extra hours last night to learn everything there is to know about Iowa. I’ll get around to it, I promise.

You seem strangely miffed.
Football is a game that rewards preparation. We expect no less from our opponents.
Mr. Boh Knows ...
Read?
You think we can actually read? I have to have my kids read the posts out loud to me and then dictate my responses back to them.
Pfft, reading. The only things on the internet that are worthwhile are the pictures.
Well, I've got an article up for you now. I hope I puffed Greene enough to suit your tastes.

Early returns
suggest this S Carolina blog may not be the best forum to rise to the bait of juvenile humor. We’ll see, and I’ll nose around for another.
No kidding...I'm wishing Northwestern did get the Outback now.

No dice
So far it’s like yelling obsenities at those guards with the tall fuzzy hats outside Buckingham Palace.

Which, by the way, is only fun for the first hour or two.......

Quitter
I bet if you kept trying for 6-8 hours it would become a pretty good running gag.

Of course it would
The key to that gag is commitment, anyone can just yell for an hour or two, true genius is going on all day.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Please feel free to attack them as much as you like
But we just ask that you keep in mind that their community has different standards than ours, so we should keep the language relatively clean, the personal attacks down, and of course, make no effort to stop the run, at all.
Different standards
Yeah, it only took a couple of mildly harsh comments and it’s nothing but wind and crickets over there.
Clearly they’re not interested in a dickjoke slap-fight.
Wonder what Northwestern fans are up to……….

Seriously?
I read BHGP for the infinite amounts of sarcasm and arrogance about the Hawkeyes…then I go to this site where they sound humble, use things called "facts", and take things seriously. WTF? That shit is not flying.
Any other suggestions?
Nothing against Garnet and Black Attack, who I believe will try, but various other S. Carolina (does anyone else find this USC thing disconcerting? I’m so confused) sites I’ve looked at are either shut down, have around 1 post per month, or are filed by actual newspaper-ists. At jNU, I think they call them jNUournalists.
I read on a blog that computers
…are new in the state of South Carolina. Of course, if the Hamburg Inn is any indiciation, it appears that spices entered the state of Iowa shortly after I graduated.

This has been disappointing
Plenty of challenges all day, but not one Cock has risen up to meet the challenge. They really need to stiffen up if they having any hope of making it through the month.

cut them some slack
they’ve only had 419 visits today (with a sizable chunk coming out of the great state of Iowa) compared to a healthy 1052 for this fine site.

so in this metaphor they are both poorly hung and sexually inept?

And you said "engorging!"
oh, sorry, you said engaging.

I think the issue is that we don't get as much traffic as you guys do...
I guess dick jokes appeal to a wider audience than analysis does. Who would’ve thought it? I average 350-400 visits per day, and I’m up to around 550 today, so you guys are making a difference.

If I wanted serious analysis
I would visit gazetteonline, press-citizen, des moines register, quad city times, hawkeyenation, or hawkeyereport. This site is The Daily Show of Iowa Football and I’m proud to say that I visit it first. Plus, OPS seems to be the Tucker Max of bloggers.
I came here for analysis in the pre-season.
Being in Omaha and not having cable the past two years, I had fallen out with the Hawkeyes. I got caught up on everything from reading the position reports.
/seriousnesss
Viva la nuance! Reading comprehension rules!!!
Call me crazy
But I’d bet USC fans have heard “Cocks” jokes before we came around.
What passes for original humor might not seem so witty when it’s the 100th time you’ve heard it.
Although I still would die if So Car played Oregon State in a bowl some day.
It was hilarious!
They both came to the College World Series a few years ago here in Omaha.
There were shirts for girls that said, “I Love ’Cocks” and shirts for dudes that said, “I Prefer Beavers”.
Go Hawks!
Okay...
Just tried to find a picture, but apparently I made that up. They were there in seperate years. I guess it was the “I Love ’Cocks” shirts that were such a big hit they sold them again when the “I Prefer Beavers” ones were made the last few years that Oregon State was there.
Note to self: Less booze at this year’s CWS.
Go Hawks!
That might be true
But if so, then (little)USC has no one but themselves to blame. Emblazing “COCKS” on everything related to the university goes way back, I distinctly remember about a dozen different guys in middle school/high school in Cedar Rapids proudly wearing the white “COCKS” baseball cap in the early 90s. For some reason, I doubt they were doing so because of their long-standing devotion to the University of South Carolina.
Besides, and more importantly, when has anyone around here not gone for the easy, obvious joke? Low-hanging fruit like that just has to be picked.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
I had one of those hats in 7th grade!
And a Oregon State one that just said “Beavers” on it. I was pretty awesome.
I had "MOREHEAD"
Well, not me personally, but a guy I know.
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks
Well didn't we all?
But you that guy was probably the only one who stenciled “I GIVE” right above it.

Google image search...
The newest bit on the site is the results from the Google image search. It’s the usual Iowa is flat, boring, and cold stuff. I can’t help but notice that the pictures of their state capital with the Stars and Bars flying over it is missing…along with the results of Sherman’s march…
You all might want to take another visit to the site
Because they have a new member today, cockychick. She is the solution to the boredom over there and I look forward to continuing chaos enusing.
