Iowa 37, Eastern Illinois 7: The Game in Pictures

I didn't do these for two games last year. UNI was one that I really didn't want to remember, and ASU was a thoroughly "meh" kind of game.
We ended up losing two games last year.
Coincidence? Maybe, but why take chances this year?

Without further ado, then:
1-0, folks. Go Hawks.

I'm sad TRE has changed so much
It’s more of a tOSU v. Meeeeshigan blog anymore. There are enough of those, and it’s just been overrun. I enjoyed reading your thoughts / analysis, but it hurts to even look at most the time now.
by imadirtyoldman on Sep 7, 2010 10:41 AM CDT up reply actions
I disagree
I think this past week has been a bit more Michigan-OSU focused but I think the real problem has been a shift from looking at the conference as a whole, giving an overview of the league, to focusing more on individual teams. This is in large part due to a lot of the newer writers being unable/unwilling to write about anything but they’re own school. There is less “analysis” simply because one of the writer’s wants to hurry up and post about how good his/her team did or is. This myopic focus detracts from the overall effectiveness of OTE because you have to wade through a lot of useless content before getting to anything that affects the league generally.
Compounding the problem is that EVERY thread is eventually taken over by the guys from Inside the Horseshoe and O’Brienschofieldismyhero talking back and forth to one another and throwing out pointless jabs at Michigan/PSU (Horseshoe guys) or Iowa (O’Brien). The three of them combine to kill off any chance of interesting discussion that might have existed.

Either way, I don't bother reading it anymore

Clicking on the tags is a semi-useful way to get caught up.
Sometimes the tags themselves are just gags, but occasionally they can give you a refresher course in things.
Assuming we weren’t too lazy to properly tag something, of course.

I love how wikipedia's categories of significance are:
1) real person
2) animal
3) organization
4) web content
I would say that BHGP is decidedly not #3, but is a sort of bastard combo of #2 and #4.
by The Final Gun on Sep 7, 2010 3:17 PM CDT up reply actions
A good idea...
I think it’s partially #3 as well. Does it have to be an organized organization? How does this not qualify?
Also, like a hotdog, it’s animal-based (eyes of hawk), so it might fit into 2 as well.
It’s certainly web content.
So, that gives us a mix of 2, 3, and 4. We can all agree that #1 is not true, since there certainly isn’t anyone real on here.

What is
MNC?
I know NC is National Championship, but for the life of me what is M?! Monday, Major, Moot, Mork’s, Mitosis?
Mythical
In that the system is a farce, and doesn’t always produce a “true” champion. (See, LSU ’03).
"Oh no, don't do that, don't do that. If you shoot him, you'll just make him mad." - The Waco Kid
How is LSU worthy of being called out?
Any year with more than two undefeated teams or lacking any undefeated teams can be considered a failure under the current system.
LSU is worthy
only because they are high on my personal list of detestable fanbases. But I digress.
The point stands, though, that the system failed that year as intended. It wasn’t the first, and it won’t be the last, either.
"Oh no, don't do that, don't do that. If you shoot him, you'll just make him mad." - The Waco Kid
Fair enough
I still like to harp on 01-02 Nebraska, as the ultimate BCS system-failure. Similar reasons.
I'm still mad at LSU over the 1958 MNC.
And no, I wasn’t alive then. But still, fucking bastards!

I’ve been around long enough to witness the HS —> PV conversion, but was confused by the OPS’s I saw in comments on AJ’s posts. Dumbly guessed that it must have been some variation on “original poster” or whatever. Had a similar confusion with FTW for a while, although that, of course, is not just a BHGP thang.
My goal in life is to waste enough time here to make ELR a well-known abbreviation.

no way
that’s part of the fun
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

That having been said, I’ll be the pusher and offer freebies up front (you’ll pay later)…
Bloodpunch (correct me if I’m wrong, but it comes from the first—?—Marchifornication… the one that DMBMeg won, right?). Basically, it was to denote that he’s a scarey mo-fo.
EpicGreenwood started as a freshman and was EpicFAIL a lot. It later became kind of an ironic thing to keep calling him once he became good.
Ace is Clayborn’s dog (for real) and he took Ace to a media function shortly after getting him. On a BHGP dialog Ace fielded all questions directed at Adrian. Go back and read it (archives bitches).
Polish Hat is one of the most clever nicknames I’ve ever heard. Fiedorowicz= fedora + the polish suffix “wicz”= Polish Hat.
For extra credit, and really this should be a requirement to join the site, go read ALL of the JoePa Chronicles. That is an overview of the insanity you just became a part of.
by Eyeheartfreedumb on Sep 7, 2010 12:03 PM CDT up reply actions
Let's be honest
Polish Hat exists because it’s a hell of a lot easier to remember how to spell than Fiedorowicz. The beauty of it is that Fiedorowicz is pronounced “fedora” + “witch/which”, making ‘Polish Hat’ much easier and accurate.
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Are you serious on that pronunciation?
I’ve been searching high and low for a good description on how to say that dadgum name. Ya know, because nobody outside of BHGP recognizes Polish Hat as a Hawkeye football player. For shame, for shame.
Going, going, going, going, going, going, going, going.... Alright, I'll stop for now.
by EnergizerHawk on Sep 7, 2010 6:01 PM CDT up reply actions
A plan for Polish Hat's world domination...
I’ve devised a plan to spread the good cheer of our beloved Polish Hat and to make his name known to popular culture. This plan will also undoubtedly seal BHGP’s place in worldly knowledge. To do this I propose we start a Wikipedia entry for “Polish Hat”. It’s a valid entry per rule #1 as stated above. In the entry it will be stated that the name “Polish Hat” was started by BHGP, an animalistic organization of web content, a combination of requirements fulfilling #’s 2, 3, and 4. That there, my Hawkeye loving friends, is how BHGP will become a legitimate Wikipedia entry and be forever known in the phantasmagoria collection of worldly wisdom. (Besides if SB Nation has an entry, why shouldn’t we?)
On further examination
the second part is pronounced “witz”, not “which”. SO that was stupid on my part. But everytime I’ve heard his name pronounced, the first part has always been like “fedora”
I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
Or Fee-doro-witts...

I'll be honest, I've no idea how Bloodpunch got started.
And a search in the comments and stories doesn’t yield an origin (unless I missed it). That said, any jokes/terms can probably be traced using the search function.
by The Mexican't on Sep 7, 2010 12:08 PM CDT up reply actions
You can't handle the truth of Bloodpunch's secret origin.
But really: Bloodpunch exists because Gary Barta is STRAIGHT FUCKING GANGSTA and don’t ever forget it.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I heard he was bit by a radioactive spider...
…in the middle of a nuclear explosion caused by Shonn Greene trucking some Purdue player. He’s actually the leader of CBI and gave birth to a fully grown [Name Redacted] who, somehow, had already played for Indiana. THAT’S how gangster Bloodpunch is.
Oh, and he kills his foes with mind bullets (just ask Cornshoe).

I think he has a fairly common skin condition.
You can see it on the edge of his mouth and his hands and under one eye. I forget the name of the condition/disease, but it is fairly common. On lighter skinned people it looks like someone is peeling from after a sunburn. I would guess that is why he always has long sleeves. I hope he has a breakout game vs the Cyclones.

I understand Saturday,
but every interview I’ve ever seen him take, he has a long-sleeve shirt. At the summer Big 10 media days, it looked like he had a sweater on top of his long-sleeve shirt. Now, of course he’s going to be dressed up for B10 Media Day, but it seemed like he could have opted for just a long-sleeve shirt and tie like Klug.
I was just wondering if being half Predator made him always cold.

Once broke up with a girl in high school...
…cause she kept writing me amorous notes with terrible punctuation and spelling. Her intentions were sweet, but after a few months I just couldn’t stand to read another one.
This was before the internet was a part of everyones’ lives, thus ruining the english language forever, so my expectations were still high (I’ve relaxed a bit).
I never told her why I broke up with her (truthfully, there was more, I’m not that much of a dickhead), but when she inevitably became catty with me (when we’d run into each other) I just wished I still had the notes so I could give them back with red ink corrections all over them.

Too funny
Let this start a series of dumbest reasons to break up/stop seeing someone. Lets see.
-Along the letter lines, one girl sent me a letter that had a food stain on it. Come on… Put the food down for long enough to write the friggin letter, rewrite it, or just throw it in the trash. That was it. Game over. I wonder how much she weighs 15 years later?
by KinnickNorthHawk on Sep 7, 2010 3:45 PM CDT up reply actions
This is the dumbest reason for me.
This girl was really nice and pretty good looking, but was the absolute worst kisser ever. If I had to compare it to something, I would have to say it was like kissing a horse. Lots of teeth involved somehow and her stuffing her tounge down my throat. Somehow I managed to put up with it for 4 hours and spent the night. The next day, I didn’t know how to deal with it so I got good and toasty off Bacardi 151 and called her to tell her it wasn’t going to work out. (No I didn’t tell her the real reason)
Nope. That reason is just fine.
If there’s lots of teeth involved in kissing, there’s lots of teeth involved in everything. And that’s somewhere you just don’t want to go.

Problems with "who" and "whom"
I never know when to use which word. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.
TOUCHDOWN IOWA! TOUCHDOWN IOWA! - Gary Dolphin
I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! - Jim Zabel
If I recall correctly,
“whom” is simply the plural of “who”. The same applies to the combinations with -ever.
“Whomever roots for Iowa” vs.
“Whoever roots for Iowa State”, because there logically could only be one person willing/stupid enough to do so.

Nope
“who” = subject
“whom” = object

If the Southern half of Iowa seceded
and became part of Missouri…it would double the IQs of both states.
(I know it’s an old joke…but I like it.)

Maybe you were taught
by my wife’s roommate! Did you live in Clinton?
This girl was grammatically ‘tarded. Absolutely terrible. Talking with her was like fingernails on the chalkboard. The most obvious was starting sentences with “Me”, but it didn’t end there. And what did she end up doing? She was a fricking High School English teacher. Who the eff hired her???? I could grab the guy and feed him to our hawkeye D-Line. Idiot.
Anyway, it’s unfortunate, but sometimes we get put in a hole by someone else’s dumb choice.

I have a file
I have a file completely dedicated to pictures from the 2009 football season, and some of my favorites originated from this very series of posts. Wonderful stuff.
Also, would like to mention how happy I am about all the newcomers. Hits, baby. Hits.
