the winning comment was from a guy who had read on twitter that the official word would be coming out at 4:20, and didn't realize the twitter had been a joke until after he posted it.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:25 PM ^
Stay tuned for the Highsmen Trophy presentation. Coming up next!
Win.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:43 PM ^
that joke's rather blunt
December 13th, 2010 at 5:44 PM ^
Dude smokes the competition.
December 13th, 2010 at 6:01 PM ^
to "bowl game."
December 13th, 2010 at 6:04 PM ^
I got my foot stuck in this pot pulling weeds.
December 13th, 2010 at 6:36 PM ^
That was a half-baked attempt at a pun.
December 13th, 2010 at 6:38 PM ^
Stoned
December 13th, 2010 at 7:20 PM ^
I just hope they all get put in the joint
December 13th, 2010 at 7:23 PM ^
try not to blow it
December 13th, 2010 at 9:24 PM ^
All these puns are a little doobious.
December 13th, 2010 at 9:35 PM ^
Mary Jane always said I couldn't really count one of you as my buds.
December 14th, 2010 at 10:56 AM ^
My attempt at humor was merely a pipe dream.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:27 PM ^
If someone who has been following the BHGP board would summarize the rumors that have been floating around and post it here, I'm sure there are a lot of MGoPoints in it for you.
Please.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:29 PM ^
since a moderator here has already asked us not to participate in rumor-mongering.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
Way too many rumors/jokes to even know where to begin to summarize.
My favorite:
Just got a sneak peek at the press release from an inside source
And the truth is far worse than we can imagine. Ferentz is falling on his sword and retiring. KOK has been tabbed as the new coach. Norm also stepping down due to health reasons, GERG Robinson is his replacement. KOK already has a new 10-year contract that will pay him $2M per year, with a $50M buyout, making him all but untouchable.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
i don't know what KOK is
also, if getting his feet lopped off didn't keep parker from coaching, nothing will.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
KOK = offensive coordinator Ken O'Keefe.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
Iowa's OC.
December 13th, 2010 at 7:08 PM ^
I'm not a smart man, but I do know what KOK is.
Too soon?
December 13th, 2010 at 5:51 PM ^
Shouldn’t we be getting more of the character flaw yet HIGHLY gifted players? We normally recruit hard-working, yada yada. We could be getting SEC caliber/character players for all this trouble.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
snuck over and posted that. It's too good to be theirs.
December 13th, 2010 at 7:00 PM ^
An idea for another B10 trophy:
In related news, I heard there’s a secret trophy for biggest dissapointment, called the Johnson-Koulianos-Pryor award.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
Dig yourself for specifics, but the BHGP folks are expecting something between bad and apocalyptic for Iowa football.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:39 PM ^
If someone who has been following the BHGP board would summarize the rumors that have been floating around and post it here...
Summary:
December 13th, 2010 at 6:12 PM ^
They're kicking around rumors that 12-20 players on the team will be suspended for drug related stuff, but they've been waiting for an anouncement forever and it hasn't come yet.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:28 PM ^
Would this put Iowa cleanly in the lead for the Fulmer Cup?
December 13th, 2010 at 5:31 PM ^
Fulmer Cup doesn't begin until the last second expires in the MNC game.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:35 PM ^
But it could put them in strong contention for the Dantonio Cup (in-season arrests).
December 13th, 2010 at 5:41 PM ^
We just need to put our minds to it.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:42 PM ^
Will they get a second and third chance? These factors must be analyzed to even be under consideration for the Dantonio Cup.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:59 PM ^
I think it'd be fair to add an additional point (or two) for each "second chance" arrest, and maybe add a handful of points for each prison-to-practice.
It really is time for the MGoBlog community to put the Dantonio Cup in the spotlight!
December 13th, 2010 at 6:29 PM ^
Per Spencer:
Bonus points are awarded for multiple team offenses. Upon the 4th team arrest, four bonus points are awarded. On the 5th team arrest, 5 bonus points are awarded. 6 points are awarded for the 6th team arrest and so on and so on... This only applies to separate incidences. 5 players arrested at the same party counts as one incident.
Edit: Oops, misread comments. Leaving my fail up for the world to see.
But! Per Spencer's rules, you can also add on style points at the moderator's discretion, so yeah, still supported.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
Forgot it was an off-season thing...damn.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:29 PM ^
no one knows what's going on or what it will be.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:34 PM ^
So you're saying Iowa, and Kirk Ferentz, are solely to blame for this cluster fuck of division names in the Big 10(12)?
December 13th, 2010 at 5:36 PM ^
That's clearly RR's fault.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:40 PM ^
RR has to be the unluckiest son of a bitch alive. Guy can't catch a break.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:44 PM ^
The rumors have ranged from bad to disasterous here in Iowa. I believe none of them and will wait to see what happens.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
Based on absolutely nothing, and not having even read the rumors, here is my completely baseless surmise, derived from nothing other than speculation concerning "what's the worst thing that could be expected to take place in Iowa, of all places":
Crystal meth.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:52 PM ^
the state is full of farm animals and corn cobs. any combination of these two is worse than crystal meth. combine the three on google image serach and your eyes will bleed.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
explain the general malaise and "quitness" that the Iowa football team showed over the last month of the season.
December 13th, 2010 at 5:50 PM ^
HIDE YO KIDS, HIDE YO WIFE, CUZ ERRBODY DOIN COCAINE UP IN HERE!!
December 13th, 2010 at 6:19 PM ^
and they're starting a new thread for the same topic.
Yet across the country, your average ignoramus fan thinks that RR is the one running the bad ship.
December 13th, 2010 at 7:17 PM ^
911 now and counting Don.......

And they hate the new conference names as much as we do. Who in the hell likes those anyways?
December 13th, 2010 at 6:22 PM ^
Does this have anything to do with Iowa's failure at the end of the season?
December 13th, 2010 at 6:35 PM ^
When is this alleged press conference / press release actually occurring? Has it happened? You wouldn't know it via ESPN which is Favring all over itself right now.
December 13th, 2010 at 9:28 PM ^
What a great way to describe the media love of favre
