Bowling Green Falcons at Iowa Hawkeyes, Nov 20, 2009 8:05 PM CST

Face_melt_medium

Why, when we realized that Iowa's playing Bowling Green tonight, was this the first thing that popped into our heads?

We're choosing to open a thread up, and yes, we've chosen poorly. But if you, dear readers, made nothing but wise decisions, you'd never have ended up at BHGP in the first place. So choose poorly with us, and see if our liveblog gets more Hawkeye fans than the arena! It's totally possible!

Plus, if bad things happen like we fear that they will, we'll try to gather all the melted faces and skulls so you can get yours back when the game's over.

Hooo boy

Am I wrong, or is this game just plain not televised?

For those of us with DirecTV...

The game is not being aired.

You can, however, pay $2.99 to watch it online. No, really, that’s your only option.

And I’m seriously debating whether to do it.

And immediately gets sloppy by committing turnovers on three consecutive possessions. 28-15 right now.

Bowling Green is so thrilled by this news that they hit a 3. 28-18.

It’s not working for me, however. Perhaps because of this Bowling Green is currently experiencing technical difficulties with the stream. Audio may sound modulated or clipped. We apologize for the convenience."

It is free. So there’s that.

Okay, that was pretty slick.

Tucker to Cougill as time expires in the half, COugill with a nifty shot from about 8 feet, and Iowa leads 33-20 at the break.

Please let them not fuck this up.

Easily.

Check out his bio. 5th in Iowa history in blocked shots, shot over 50%, double digit scoring his senior year. Hell, up until Haluska got drafted a couple years ago, Koch was the last Hawkeye drafted.

Why in the hell are we comparing him and Bawinkel? Makes no sense.
