Marc Morehouse Was On A Roll Last Night

PrintWhich ER character are you most like? We think we're maybe Anthony Edwards-ish, but only because it's sorta egotistical to say Clooney.
Last night, even as Iowa was putting together their longest winning streak in over a year (seriously: their last, a 3-game "spree," was ended on 12/20/08, and yes that's awful), not everybody was in a very festive mood.
In particular, we're referring to friendo del blogo Marc Morehouse, who is only on the football beat for the Gazoo. Ergo, he has no professional reason to watch, just morbid personal curiosity. But since that's a hallmark of all decent writers, on went the TV. Bad move, and the following spree of Twitter tweet twats were twooted:
Iowa basketball coding. Applying defibrillator.
Don't go into the light, Iowa basketball!
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppp!
Good old fashioned CPR.
Beeeeeeeeeeeppppppppp!
I'm calling it.
Time of death, 8:21, Dec. 21, 2009.
Obit in a word: Whahappened!?!?!?!
Funeral poorly attended. Rowing doesn't even show. Gymnastics dancing on grave. Football sends an entourage.
Oh, gallows humor. You're always better with the actual gallows in view. Indeed, gallows humor and Twitter go together like a noose and a neck. It just... fits.
Again, this was during a win, albeit one witnessed by about 2000 fans at CHA and 200-300 more watching on television. But it raises the question: if that was Iowa basketball's demise, what does that mean Purdue's about to do to them? More importantly, is it even legal?

Was 8:21
the time when Cole went into his annual “crumple into a heap on the floor” moment?

The quintessential Big Ten smoking room.
I actually voiced:
“Don’t go into the light, Iowa basketball!” last night and my wife thought I was insane.
I would also submit as honorable mention:
“I wish I could retweet his beard.” [via storminspank]
If Purdue's as good as I think they are...
I’m thinking 30 point win, maybe.

Wait until Morehouse sees Ferentz the next time
Kirk is going to shove his fist up into the dark, upper reaches of Marc’s colon for those comments made about Lick’s team.

I'm sure that's not the first time for Marc, either.
If he’s allergic to latex he should let KF know beforehand, though.

BHGP is clearly rubbing off on him.
Can we anoint him as the OBWofBHGP.com? (Official beat writer of…).

Well done, Morehouse.
Do we play you guys in basketball this year? I’ll need to look at a schedule. Actually, why doesn’t someone do it for me. While you’re doing that, I’ll be over here cackling maniacally.
Everyone fails. The successful learn from their failures. I just wish we'd quit giving ourselves so many learning opportunities.

Cackle cackle.
Iowa plays Minnesota twice this year (after only playing them once a year the last two years, I think). I’m sure that will go well.
My favorite part of the schedule is that Iowa is playing at Illinois on January 5th. Which also happens to be the night of the Orange Bowl. That should be one low rating among viewers in Iowa…
I won’t be watching the Iowa-Illinois game, either. I’ll be glued to the OB as a football fan. CONTRASTING STYLES!

Morehouse more like Icehouse
There should be breath analyzers on twitter accounts. Although I felt like drinking when I saw the little Lickliter checking in. When he was at the freethrow line to shoot, I half expected him to shoot it under hand like Ollie in Hoosiers.

I can't help but snicker when people use "ergo"...

WHat if I can't? What if I fail?
Dude, it’s only the robot.
Sorry, I can’t help but think of that whenever I see anything Matrix-Sequel related.

Hilarious!
Yes, wouldn’t be the first time with KF. We’ve never had an “Oz” moment, but yeah.
Icehouse! I would never touch that swill. But no, that was far too early to be into the grog.

Moorehouse represents the future
He’s embraced all aspects of this new medium and is helping to define what the beat writer of tomorrow will be. I live in Chicago and crave my Hawkeye info. Since the masses haven’t figure this thing out yet, it’s like having my own personal reporter on the sideline. Shhhh.

Actually
Both Morehouse and Hlas are well aware of the future and embrace the interwebs. The Hlog is great supplemental reporting to what appears in the Gazette, and he, along with Morehouse, is more than happy to point out what he finds on the interwebs and blogs (including numerous nods to BHGP, as well as other SB Nation sites and others). If anything, the Gazette reporters illustrate the mutually-beneficial relationship than can exist between traditional sportswriters and bloggers. It’s not a question of competition, but rather one of differing focuses.
