BHGP Has Fun With Sponsorship

PrintIt began, as many ideas (good and bad) on this site have begun, with a late-night Google chat session:
$10 and 24 hours later, we had this bit of interwebs magic.
So now everyone who researches Guy Rucker's short but sweet NBA career will get an bonus burst of BHGP. We expect this to drive roughly... tens of new pageviews to the site. INTERWEBZ DOMINANCE: WE HAZ IT.
(And for the record, I totally would have gone for Chris Kingsbury, since he really is the patron saint of BHGP in so many ways, but alas -- he didn't have an NBA career at all. Probably because the NBA is FULL OF HATERS.)

I’m not sure I want to live in a world where Guy Rucker gets an NBA shot and Chris Kingsbury does not.
I spent half my life's earnings on wine, women & song. The other half I wasted.

I am very excited about this.

Just out of curiosity, why only three seasons at Iowa?
Did he think he had a pro shot? Grades?

Family stuff
Had a sick parent or grandparent, so he left to make some money in the semi-pros.

I originally read your response as
“Had a sick or pregnant grandparent” which made me think Inkster, MI was way tougher than I’d first believed
.
Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Did I get you on that kick?
(from my first Hamsterdam post) If so, I’m happy. Love that song.

Maybe.
I also watched some of the movie “Payback” last weekend.

His best song.

Cool, thanks.
I remembered that he didn’t use up his eligibility, but never I knew why.

4 games, 3 minutes in the Pros
Boom
A baseball park is the one place where a man's wife doesn't mind his getting excited over somebody else's curves
At least he worked his way to that, though.
IIRC, the first semi-pro team he signed with after Iowa was the New Hampshire ThunderLoons.
But I’m glad to see he at least got a cup of coffee with an NBA team.

Baseball Is the Better Sport!
Go with Cal Eldred, too. Being a Cardinals fan, I will always have a fond memory of him. STL and MIL are both nearby, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to see Hawkeyes living in those areas…

You should just sponsor Chris Kingsbury the person
Send him like 20 bucks a month to occasionally wear a BHGP shirt. Or just as a thank you for all the joy he has brought us all.
Also dibs on sponsoring Timmy D’s page.
Just a pack or two of smokes would probably do it.
If you’re going to pay him, pay him to urinate in public while wearing the shirt. God, I miss the 90’s sometimes.
I am drunk.., or I wouldn't be talking to you.

It's depressing that the real Chris Kingsbury is a banker in Ponca, Nebraska now.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
yeah but he's probably, like, the most badass banker ever
Denying loan applications from 30 feet just because he can.

Pretty sure The Kingsbury Factor is already doing this.

Did anyone bother looking up Wade Lookingbill?

Nevermind.

Life as a G
His production decreased each year at Iowa. His tattoo however grew stronger and more popular.
I remember,
I think it was his sophomore year, when Iowa finished second in the B10.
One of the pre-season mags called Guy Rucker a “dark-horse candidate for conference POY.”
LOL

For the record
AJ bounced the JR idea off me and I was all in. Had I known Guy Rucker was on the table I would have never done that.

He meant ALL LIN

I hope you don't limit your branding potential
Clothing (of course), soft drinks and personal items are cash cows waiting to be milked. Just think: “For pure pleasure, use BHGP condoms.”

I'd buy BHGP cologne.
Or I could just bathe in Jeremiah Weed Sweet Tea Vodka.

Sure, it SOUNDS like enormous potential
but really, underneath, there’s just not enough oomph there to get the bang for your buck
