WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: Nittany Lion? No, But I Stitched A Tiger Or Two!

Penn St. Nittany Lions at Iowa Hawkeyes, Jan 16, 2010 12:05 PM CST


Blackshoediarrhea_medium
Never forget Black Shoe Diarrhea.

Okay, people. We need to brace ourselves for the fact that if Iowa doesn't win this game, they could quite conceivably not win another game for the rest of the season. No, really; if they can't beat fellow 0-4 BXI team Penn State, who is wretched, there's scarcely any hope for any of the remaining 13 games. Then, as prophecy decrees, they rip off four in a row and go to the NCAA tournament anyway as the first and only Big Ten team to ever participate in a play-in game. We've been over this like a thousand times.

Amazingly, the game is televised; the BTN was benevolent enough to go ahead and give us the 12:05 (1:05 if you're in the Eastern Bastard Time Zone) slot for the game; we suspect it's because Gary Barta and Tim Curley told the network it was a wrestling meet. Because honestly, TV cameras belong at this game about as much as they belong up Katie Couric's butthole. Oh wait. Shit. NO, we don't mean shit as in that's what they found in... you know what, let's just move on.

We're posting the thread a little early so everyone can get their predictions in before tipoff. And also so we can accuse Reading Rambler (who, we'll happily point out, was the 6th most active commenter on BHGP; Hawkeye State, by comparison, was #7) of being a diarrhea lover for a good two hours before the game begins. Seems only fair.

You ready for the pain? There will be pain. All the standard rules apply; no slurs, no porn, no unauthorized video streams. Other than that, let's do this, and may the lesser sucky team win.

Penn State 66 – Iowa 59

Iowa 52

Penn State 53.

PSU winning half court shot at buzzer sends 2,435 to the wrestling meet with no discernible change in attitude.

That's counting actual buttocks...

….so divide by two and you have the true attendance.

By the way, sometimes I think I'd rather....

……get a camera put up my butthole rather than watch this Iowa team play b-ball. The difference is that you get prepped for a colonoscopy—but nothing can prep you for this basketball team.

Plus, the camera can prevent cancer. I think watching this team might just cause cancer.

Just something to think about…….

Quote from this week's Sporting News

“Despite two Big Ten tournament titles, Iowa fans convinced themselves he couldn’t coach. They were wrong. Along with recruiting ace Craig Neal, ###### has Los Lobos rocking.”

Yes, shame on us Iowa fans for not being satisfied with ###### taking the program down a step or two. Granted, we are another hundred or so steps down. But to imply we should have been happy with that snake in charge is a slap in the face.

Prediction?

PAIN. Defensive ineptitude matched only by complete and utter FAIL at making the wide-open layups resulting from said ineptitude. First team to 40 wins.

"You think you're pretty smart, don't you? What's with your dago mustache and greasy hair?"

I think John Lickliter is the real X-factor in this one. PSU cannot afford to let him attempt a contested layup.

6-4. The offense is so bad that they give up two safeties, but still win. (of course one of the safeties is a “fuck you” safety, but still, 2 safeties!)

OK

That call was huge for us, and it’s probably a foul, but it’s not if they called the last 5 minutes like they did the first 35

This game is like

when you go to the doctor because you feel weird, and they say it’s probably just a cold or a flu, but they’re going to do some blood work, and then they tell you you’re probably fine, and then they call and say you’re still probably fine, but they just want to do one more test to make sure you don’t have AIDSheimers.

Losing this game would be AIDSheimers.

On a more substantive note, great game by Fuller. Lost in this dumpster fire of a season is that he’s quietly become a very effective player. He’s got a really well rounded offensive game, is probably our best rounder, and has improved a lot on defense. He actually did about as well on Battle as anyone, but they couldn’t really afford to let him do it very often. He stayed in front of him way better than Payne or Gatens.
