BLACK HEART GOLD PODCAST, EPISODE 15: IN WHICH WE DOUBLE DIP THE PROVERBIAL CHIP



For our fifteenth anniversary show (Is it an anniversary when you do one per week? Someone contact Larry King), we have a rare two-guest show. First, HS and OPS are joined by John Bohnenkamp, who acts as sports editor, Iowa basketball reporter, and blogger for the Burlington Hawkeye, to discuss Iowa's recent loss to Virginia Tech and the prognosis for the rest of the campaign. We are then graced with the presence of Graham Filler and Bama Hawkeye from The Rivalry, Esq., the SB Nation blog dedicated to Big Ten football, cigars, and legalese, to wrap up the 2009 BXI football season and talk bowl selection. Also, there's new intro music.

Listen below or on iTunes.

So appropriate

“Iowa Basketball – Suicide is Painless”

I can see the athletic department working overtime on the promos with that slogan.

Brandon Graham was a good pick, too.

It's just fun to say

It's also fun to say "beaten again"

Wiscy as B10 contender next year?

Provocative. But I liked your Bielema points.

Y'know, I haven't listened yet...

…but I was kinda thinkin the same thing. Wisc, Iowa, OSU, Penn St = the probable contenders (in my mind as of this moment, though things change).

Amusingly...

there are a lot of persistent rumors that Iowa State is still somehow headed to the Insight Bowl (depsite losing to Mizzou), where they would likely take on Minnesota. I’m not sure how that works exactly, but that would have to be the Official BHGP Schadenfreude Bowl of 2009 if it takes place.

Incidentally, I’m also wondering if Minnesota might somehow jump Michigan State for the Alamo Bowl slot if there are more suspensions announced for Sparty — the Alamo may not want to invite a green-and-white pinata to San Antonio to get smashed by Texas Tech or Oklahoma. That feels like it would be really appropos for Brewster, too: FIGHT TRY FAIL UPWARD!

by RossWB on Dec 3, 2009 12:21 PM CST reply actions  

If Nebraska wins

the Big XII will have two teams in the BCS. That moves everyone up a slot. The Insight will have the choice between A&M and ISU. I would bet they take the Cyclones in that case.

I think it's a dumb idea

that TV ratings don’t matter to the bowls. It’s not FOX picking the games, it’s the bowl reps. The bowl reps need as high a ratings as possible every year so that, every time they sell their rights, they have much higher average ratings to bring to the table.

You know what else is a dumb idea?

Your face.

Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

By which I mean,

Lead for most of the game, give up late 12-2 rally, hang on due to Battle’s FT shooting

MURDER

You thought last year was loud in Kinnick? I can’t wait until next year.

ooooooooooooooooooooo

It’s hard to hate you guys, that’s the meanest thing I can say without reverting to corn jokes, which are still a lot of fun.

Will be it as loud as it was during the Indiana or Michigan games this year?

Hell, Forcier was dancing to “Rio” on the sidelines this year.

Forest Evashevski passed away the night before Indiana...

…and that game was his spirit repeatedly kicking Stanzi in the nuts. So yeah, the crowd sucked until the Sash dash.
However, the crowd was awesome for Meeshigan, despite it being Homecoming Week (when all of the old farts go to the game).

Also, the cumulative cardio strain we all endured this year made our collective chest tighten, which makes it hard to yell (I honestly started to hyperventilate a little after that 4th third quarter pick on Halloween). After this season, I know I’ll be okay when the heart attack really does come. I think I’ll probably react like Chris Farley in the Chicago “Superfans” skits from SNL… I might even name my first one Ditka.

Crowd was loud as hell for the Michigan game

Everyone was drunk as hell. We aren’t used to night games, so we just drink at the pace we normally use to get drunk by 11 AM, but stretch it out for another 8 hours.

I came here to complain about the new intro music before listening to it

Then listened to it and it was every bit as perfect as the original intro music. HS you should be up for a grammy. You’re every bit as good as those no talent ass clowns that win them anyway.
