OT: Black Heart Gold Pants Love

Submitted by Snowden on
Lemme preface this by saying that I'm a proud alum ('07) and have been hooked to MGoBlog since 2005. Okay. Black Heart Gold Pants is an absolutely top-top-quality blog and commenter community. Their liveblog against Penn State was superb, and Oops Pow Surprise and Hawkeye State are great writers. It's weird to actually say this, but because of the quality of blogging from BHGP, Iowa's become my second favorite team in the Big Ten, and any game not against UM I'm pulling for them. Am I alone in my BHGP love*? Has anyone else found a second team to cheer for because of their online community? ----- *I love BHGP, but I also know where my loyalty resides. I've got a co-worker who's an Iowa alum, and this week has been pure BEEFing, office-sabotaging, violence-filled-emailing warring.

I'm in the same boat. I like their humor and community feel. I wouldn't say I like their team because of it though. I'm fairly Iowa-neutral. They've been at a level of respectability over the last decade, not enough for me to hate them, but low enough for me to hate them either (cough, MSU, cough) either.
