BHGP TURNS 1, STILL WEARS DIAPERS

by Adam Jacobi on Sep 2, 2008 9:30 AM CDT

Happy Birthday to us! We brought pastries and... oh god, no. NOOOO!! Why does this always happen?!

It's hard to believe, but later this week will be our one-year anniversary of heading over here to SBN, and we want to take the opportunity to celebrate the people most responsible for our success:

Ourselves.

You see, without the staff of BHGP, BHGP would not be what it is today. Simple as that, folks.

But past that, we owe a mountain of gratitude to our readers, who will be pushing us over the 500,000 page view mark later this week (which uh, wow), and who registered the 250,000th visit a week or two ago (double wow). We do it for you, babies. Also, registration is free, quick, and painless, so do it and start commenting today!

And last, we are forever indebted to the kings of Blogfrica, those who've been doing what we do for much longer, and far better to boot. Not only have they provided us with limitless inspirado, but they've been as friendly and supportive as anybody could ask for. To that end, since we've been ripping them off learning from them for a solid year now, we'll be trotting out some of our favorite Blogfricans to answer the question everyone wants to know this week:

What does BHGP mean to you?

We'll be posting answers sporadically throughout the week, and the first one comes from HBIC Brian Cook of MGoBlog and Fanhouse. Brian, what does BHGP mean to you?

You fartheads caused me to blow a lot of time fisking something that may have been a big joke, but we're teammates on Team AmeriLeman so I have refrained from calling in the ninjas. Pray you never fall from the path of the American flag tie.

Also, sometimes I cry because I didn't write one of your posts.

We assume he's referring to this. Thanks, Brian!

Nice work

Carmelo.

Seriously though, congratulations guys. I love everything you do here. It’s really nice to hear from some intelligent Iowa sports fans. Even though I still yearn for the occasional, “The rule of football is to get the guy with the ball!!” (quote from an Iowa fan at Kinnick in 2001) your site is a welcomed departure from the Iowa fans that I am used to. (“You know, I’m not saying we would beat the Raiders, but we’d definitely give them a good game.”) Instead, you guys have an overinflated view of yourselves. Well done, sirs. But you don’t need me to tell you that.

Where else can I get my fix of

brain eating JoePa and Leman’y goodness, all while knowing that our OC is mentally raping our QB?
Nowhere.
Plus you guys let me occasionally post my moronic ramblings, for which me, myself and my therapist will forever be grateful.

Bravo, OPS, HS and JHC

This is the best blog I’ve read (out of two, so simmer down). I come here for analysis, comedy, and discussion. You’ve made me smile, you’ve made me cry, and you’ve made me quiver with anticipation (or at least one of those). Keep it up.

I don’t know how your demented minds came up with that picture … but damned if I didn’t burst out laughing. Which is about how most of the content makes me react. Well done.
