Entirely One-Sided Internet Questionsing With Black Heart Gold Pants

Incredible work above brought to you by TNL. Cuz we Nittany Lions stick together, yo.
Because the Big Ten Bloggers are inherently a lazy and two-step behind group, we are just now getting to a proper wrap up of Saturday's come from behind victory over Iowa. To help us get a wider view of what this victory means, we meant to invite the excellent photo-shoppers bloggers at Black Heart Gold Pants over for a discussion. Because this thing needs to be posted before people forget the game even happened, we've created a series of questions in which their only response could be....well, you can see for yourself.
BSD: Greetings, Black Heart Gold Pants. To confirm you are not Anti-Spyware Agent 008, please answer the following math questions: What is 47 less 33?
BHGP: [sits straight up in chair, very alert]
BSD: Here, maybe you read better in chart form?
BHGP: [gagging]
BSD: Okay, let's try another method, context: what was the largest lead Iowa was able to build in last Saturday's basketball game?
BHGP: [hand on knees, coughing]
BSD: Correct! We now know you are in fact BHGP. So, much is being made of Jamelle Cornley's post-T performance. He's being called the Michael Robinson of basketball! When it happened, you had to be feeling pretty good about Iowa's chances, correct?
BHGP: [face starting to turn white]
BSD: I see. Well, people have wondered why Iowa didn't call a timeout to set up that last possession. Some have said that the team was bewildered by what has been consistently the least intimidating venue in Big Ten basketball, yet for some reason Hawkeyes Coach Todd Lickliter stood on the sidelines supastupigasted (having such little poise that calling an obvious timeout was beyond your means despite no overwhelming evidence that the Jordan Center was at the present moment overly intimating). [Hold it. --ed] Who are you? [The BHGP editor, I am usually tasked with monitoring the shenanigans over at BHGP, but I was asked to follow the boss over here to BSD --ed] So why are you editing my posts? I'm not going to pay you for this. [It's just part of my personality. Anyway, that's not a word, and although I've seen some made up things in my day, I think you meant to say superstupigasted. --ed] I'm trying to capture the essence of a state of being, and super doesn't really do it for me. I need the drawn out 'a' to really drive home how poor a decision that was. Plus it ties the word together nicely. [But 'supa' isn't a word. --ed] Neither is supastupigasted. [Whatever. --ed] So, BHGP, your thoughts on the idea to let the end of the game play out?
BHGP: [leaning over, pounding chest]
BSD: Our thoughts exactly. So, before you go, in an effort to add relevant tags to online photos, Google has created a game for users that shows two people the same picture and asks them to use as many words as possible to describe it. Words that appear on both peoples' list are added as tags. Want to play?
BHGP: [frantic look on face, unable to speak words]
BSD: Great, here is the photo, let's compare notes in 15 seconds:
...alright, your list?
BHGP: [holding hands across neck in universal sign of choking]
BSD: WE HAVE A MATCH!

It had to be done
We were going to let it go, but Galen came up with that sweet photoshop so we had to work that in somehow.

Why post this story
I saw the Iowa blog post and it was pathetic. It looked like an 8 year olds attempt at teasing someone.
While your response was better, it would have been much classier to simply point out the BHGP article to the BSD nation.

Relax
We’re just having fun. It’s the offseason. OPS is a friend to BSD and he knows that.

classic.
So, as previously alluded to, on Black Heart Soiled Pants, their “witty” interview included such gems as “what is any number TIMESED by zero?” and “we now know that you are a real people.”
Awesome. Just awesome.
haha.

No, timesed is right
It’s cause it’s a adverb.

BSD is classy
BSD represents all that is good in the Penn State corner of the blogosphere and this post
Is no exception, it’s just a response to the fine bloggers over at BHGP.
Now had this been posted over at TNL, and trust me I would have responded, it would have
been filled with a lot more F-bombs and words like "penis" because I’m the red-headed
stepchild of the Penn State family – it’s ok, I only show up when I need money.
But since BSD is the flagship for Penn State basketball I thought it was appropriate that they
respond and hey, every now and then I have to drag Mike down into the mud with me, I’m evil like that.

Just thought of something
We’ve totally set ourselves up for humiliation if the team tanks and loses the next seven games.

I disagree
I think we need to enjoy/take advantage of basketball success while we have it. It’s just too rare a thing.

Pant
Galen purposely chose the word “Pant” sans the s. I’ll let him explain why.

YES! it's PANT (no s)
Like I said to Mike in my e-mail: I removed the ‘s’ from ‘Pants’ because I can definitely see the guys at BHGP as fashion conscience queer-eye-for-the-straight-guy types who secretly use the word pant instead of pants when talking amongst
themselves.

wow
Cairo,
The fact that you can pick the correct font out in such a short time is astonishing, I just picked out the closest from a free font database, you are either a graphics arts dude or have a crap load of time on your hands.
by Galen on Jan 27, 2009 11:45 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm a graphic arts dude
but the second part is equally true.

It's actually perfect timing too
OPS is having technical difficulties over there….was there a preemptive strike to prohibit a response?

We will return, and return with force.

Yeah, the only way the basketball game could make up for it...
…is if PSU’s victory somehow kept Iowa out of the NCAA tournament, but Iowa’s doing that on their own. They’re just keeping our 9th place spot warm for now.

No comparison
A loss in basketball just doesn’t compare to a loss in football. You play 30 baksetball games in a regular season. You only get 12 in football. A loss in football is like losing three games in basketball.
If we beat Iowa later at home we might be able to call it even. But until we beat them next year in football we won’t be satisfied.

Only a final 4 victory or something similar would suffice
We were 3rd in the nation and they effectively ended any chance we had at a MNC, so we’d have to do the same. I think an equivalent would be a final four win over them.

Penn St. gave Iowa so many chances to tie or take the lead at the end
We just couldn’t hit a clutch three… Too bad Daniel Murray wasn’t available for a clutch three point score… He seems to like to do that against Penn SCHHHTAAAAAAAAATE.

The cover-your-eyes/wtf 2hour sadism sessions that pass for UI basketball is allowing us to convince ourselves Ferentz will be coaching up the plethora of 2-star football recruits he’s signing. So, we can’t talk recruiting or volleyball with you, and you don’t want to talk wrestling with us; mocking each other’s basketball teams and math skills has to suffice.
