BHGP BRACKET MADNESS: THE LAST FOUR

There's got to be a catchier name for the semifinals than "Last Four." Just can't think of one. Today: BRAAAAAAINS vs. brawn!

JOE PATERNO

PROS: Met Fergie, listened to Fergie, contemplated his grandchildren, met Bill Cowher, wooed Terrelle Pryor.

CONS: Technically only tangentially related to Iowa athletics. Indeterminate age.

DMBMEG

PROS:
THIS YOUNG LADY IS AN ODD ONE

How so?

LOOK AT HER. BACK IN MY DAY WE WOULD SAY HER HUMORS ARE OUT OF BALANCE

THEN COME THE LEECHES

Joe, we're

MISTER PATERNO WILL BE FINE THANK YOU

--we're trying to discuss her "pros." We'll get to the cons in a bit.

WHY AM I EVEN FACING HER, I'M THE MOST TENURED FOOTBALL COACH IN AMERICA AND SHE IS A CONFIRMED IRISH

Hey! Cons go later!

I'M SORRY BUT THEY'VE BEEN A SCOURGE ON AMERICA FOR TOO LONG. LOOK AT GEORGE O'LEARY, HE'S GIVEN THE NOTRE DAME JOB AND WITHIN FOUR HOURS HE'S JACKED UP ON HOST AND TULLAMORE DEW PICKING FIGHTS WITH RUDY

Okay, George O'Leary's problem was with his resume. He falsified

POINT ONE: ANOTHER POINT FOR THE UNTRUSTWORTHY IRISH, WORSE SO THAN THE BRITONS, FRENCHMEN, SLAVS, OR DASTARDLY PORTUGUESE. TWO: THEY WERE ENTIRELY SELF-INTERESTED IN SUPPRESSING THE BENDER, BECAUSE HE DID IT WITH HALF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES. ALL IRISHMEN ONCE AGAIN

I give up.

THAT IS JUST WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO

CONS:

LET ME HANDLE THIS ONE

IRISH

GOD I HATE NOTRE DAME

FIGHTING IRISH SHOULD BE A LIFE'S WORK, NOT A MASCOT

Meg didn't even go to Notre Dame or anything. She went to Iowa. And that's hardly a con; we're a Hawkeye site too

SYMPATHIZERS, THE LOT OF YOU

You're a bastard, Joe Paterno.

AT LEAST I DON'T ASSOCIATE WITH AN UNCLEAN PEOPLE

Meg, you hijack comments w/ the best of them...

...but come on, its JoePa.  He's too crazy to not vote for.  This is the real title match to me.

awesome

Now hundred of men have seen my bedroom.

...

Your bedroom

Isn't what you should be embarassed about.  That pose, however...dead sexy.

by jason3kidd on Mar 26, 2008 2:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

yes

but the context of that pose is private.

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 2:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

context?

It appears you're trying to sell tickets to a Gun Show.

by jebushchrist on Mar 26, 2008 2:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

ahem

Now hundreds more men have seen my bedroom.

Fixed!

(sorry, was going with the Deadspin theme)

by jebushchrist on Mar 26, 2008 2:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

hey!

Those are Hawkeye beads on my door! Leave me alone!

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 3:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

Hundreds?

More like dozens, meg.  We're not that popular.

by Patrick Vint on Mar 26, 2008 3:16 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'm sorry

Meg, I tried to vote for you...but then JoePa interrupted me...and just kept talking.  3 hours later I woke up and my vote was cast.  I don't remember any of it.  

by chitownhawkeye on Mar 26, 2008 4:31 PM CDT reply actions  

you'll regret that.

Now wait til you hear me talking for 4 hours in your sleep. I have been told I have a voice that sounds similar to nails on a chalkboard.

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 5:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

I look forward to it

nails on the chalkboard will be soothing compared to the JoePa related nightmares I'm expecting

by chitownhawkeye on Mar 26, 2008 6:28 PM CDT up reply actions  

we already let meg

take down one american hero, i wont stand here and watch another fall.  

by big11th blog on Mar 26, 2008 5:18 PM CDT reply actions  

just wait

Til I start campaiging on my blog. JoePa is lucky I am busy at work today and let him get a head start.

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 6:03 PM CDT up reply actions  

It's a shame your site actually has readers

I've tried campaigning and don't expect Paterno to get much of a bump

by Nick Blonde on Mar 26, 2008 6:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

sucka!

(I totally think I'm gonna lose. Don't worry, your precious Paterno is probably safe.)

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 7:36 PM CDT up reply actions  

He's not ours alone anymore

Oops Pow Surprise has made it that he now belongs to the ages.

by Nick Blonde on Mar 26, 2008 7:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

dude

Why are you cheering against a fellow Hawkeye? For shame.

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 7:36 PM CDT reply actions  

if I win...

I will write about how I once saw Khalil Hill and Siaka Massaquoi cry like little girls.

by dmbmeg on Mar 26, 2008 7:38 PM CDT reply actions  

Nice Siaka Massaquoi reference!

I think you can still pull this one out, meg - you're only down 32 vot-

Oh.

Shit, jeez, sorry.

by Bucketochicken on Mar 26, 2008 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions  

Oh, and Meg

I was NOT crawling through the cab window to yell at you.  I was just that excited to be in the cab...

(no, I'm not really that guy; I just finished reading about it, thought it was great, and had to tease you about it)

by jason3kidd on Mar 27, 2008 9:29 AM CDT reply actions  

I'm no math major

but 68 + 90 does not equal 372, where are 214 missing votes?
