Also, we just wanted an excuse to foist that Professor Farnsworth image on everybody.
Big news, kiddos. Those of you who know me as Oops Pow Surprise have probably been (oops pow) surprised to see my name change to my real one, Adam Jacobi, without warning. And the truth of the matter is... we got a cease and desist letter from Dave Chappelle. Actually, no, that's a complete lie. Although it would probably be the highlight of my life (life hasn't been great, you guys).
No, the real reason is that starting today, I'll be ALIC--assistant lawya in charge--at SBNation.com on weekends. Jon Bois is still there and he's still the alpha dog; SBNation just thought it would be a good idea to pair him and me. Yeah. Unfortunately, they don't take kindly to noms de blogue over there, so rather than going through the tortuous process of dual Internet identities, we just rolled out the guillotine and the problem was solved.
What does this change about BHGP? Not a damn thing. We'll still do things the exact same way, and Hawkeye State and the rest of the gang will continue to conceal their identities for their own good. They're covert CIA, so it's probably better that way.
Also, as a reminder, Selection Saturday is still most definitely on and poppin' this afternoon.
Oh, and start spending your weekends at SBNation.com, won't you?

Congrats, OPS
I had no idea you were a lawya. Kudos on the promotion.

Big difference between "lawyer" and "lawya."
I got more rhymes than Wade Lookingbill's got dunks

Understood
But no difference, really. Maybe the amount of respective student loans the two people have, but that’s about it.

Why is it that all I can think about at this moment is Valerie Plame?

Oh, and congratulations too, I suppose.

Because she's
an ambassador’s wife by day and super-sexy CIA undercover agent by night. I think it’s safe to say that we all think about her pretty much constantly…if “we all” refers to the two of us.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

I can confirm Jacobi looks like Valerie Plame.
Before you respond, let me remind you: Brian Cook called me smug, which makes me the Obama of smugness. I'm basically Smugbama.

You are such a flirt.

Does HS

I’m hoping StoopsMyAss looks like Lee Marvin in real life.

Wait…doesn’t that make you the man now? Dammit, now I’m conflicted.

I definitely watched...
the episode of “In Living Color” today where Homey D Clown joins the establishment, only to hit Whitey and Bobo in the face with the sock full of sand and walk out. I can only assume OPS is planning something similar for “the man” at SBnation.com
I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

Congratulations man
My only question: Is it still kosher to refer to you as OPS?
by PurpleMonkeyDishwasher on Feb 27, 2010 11:52 AM CST reply actions
I prefer Jacobi so I can make obscure references to the Risings of 1689, 1715, and 1745.
Oh, the blue bonnets are over the border.

Which border?
Do you live near Hadrian’s Wall?

Let's get OPS to make tiny burgers.
We’ll call them Jacobites!

congrats mt. Adam OOps
I’ll book mark SBnation on the berry. I assume this name change will bring good luck to Coach Lick & the pending 11 gm win streak to NCAA Title!
this place smells like feet. i’ll bring a can of lysol next week.

Oops Pow Surprise was the best semi-obscure Chappelle Show reference
I will mourn its loss.
(also congrats the new gig)
Can you get me some money?

Are you going to celebrate...
with a $450,000 crack party?
Come one, come all!!!
Excuse me for my bellicosity. And spelling. Bellicosity and spelling.

I'm using my real name...
so this is nothing new to me. Quick, funny story, my dad wanted to call me Neil.

I'm scared!
CHANGE FRIGHTENS ME!!!!!
Seriously though, congratulations Mr. Pow Surprise Jacobi! Clearly, Dinosaur Racecars was the piece that set you apart from the pack, thus elevating your status. Bravo
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
