Episodes

  1. BHGPodcast 96

    It's a two-parter today. First, we talk about Chris Kingsbury with BHGP favorite The Kingsbury Factor (before you listen to the podcast, you're going to want to watch and read this). There's discussion of the essence of Kingsbury, roster exaggeration, haircuts, the Kingsbury pythons, and Ol'...

  2. BHGPodcast 95

    A couple of years ago, Maize n' Brew Dave and I put together a podcast called Maize Pants. In retrospect, it should have been called Black and Brew, because that's a far better name. In any case, it was short-lived and a lot of fun, but neither of us do this as a full-time job, and we ran out of...

  3. BHGPodcast 94

    A quick note: We're going to change the format of the podcast a bit. During football season, we usually previewed games with bloggers from opposing sites, but Ross was already previewing games, usually with the same bloggers asking the same questions. The podcast got a little boring. So we're…

  4. BHGPodcast 93

    It's Penn State week, so we're getting the band back together for the old Slow States podcast. They are confident. It's an odd feeling.

  5. BHGPodcast 92

    The Black Heart Gold Podcast returns this week to discuss the upcoming Iowa-Michigan State, the icy Ferentz-Dantonio relationship, Jerel Worthy's resemblance to a fainting goat, and Michigan State's susceptibility to the screen pass with Chris Vannini, managing editor at The Only Colors. In...

  6. BHGPodcast 91

    We've had a lot of things on this podcast: Reporters, broadcasters, bloggers...well, that's pretty much it. We've not had a rocket scientist until now. Of course, the rocket scientist isn't the Minnesota fan, because rockets don't run on snow and unwarranted smugness, but still. It's a fucking...

  7. BHGPodcast 90

    For Black Heart Gold Podcast 90, we're previewing this week's game against Central Michigan with Ron Balaskovitz,the resident CMU writer at Hustle Belt, the SB Nation blog dedicated to the MAC. We talk about the Legend of Dan LeFevour, Central Michigan's obscenely huge offensive line, and why…

  8. BHGPodcast 89

    HATE WEEK PEOPLE HATE WEEK WIDE RIGHT NATTY LITE BUT I DON'T CARE BECAUSE I'M FILLED WITH ALL THIS HATE SO PROUD SO PROUD OF THE HATE

  9. BHGPodcast 88

    For this season's inaugural HATECAST*, we're talking Northern Illinois Huskies football with Mike Breese of Red and Black Attack, the SB Nation Northern Illinois blog. We talk spread offenses, Northwestern influences, MACtion, and something about a Red and Black Chant.

  10. BHGPodcast 87

    It's the week before the first game week, so it's time for an annual BHGP tradition: Marc Morehouse is here to drop a knowledge bomb on the Iowa depth chart. But, before that, Brent Yarina of the Big Ten Network drops by to just talk about some stuff, like why Shonn Greene was missing from his…

  11. BHGPodcast 85

    As our conference preview podcasts continue, as we discuss SEC SPEED with our good friend Kleph, editor of Roll Bama Roll, supporter of Hayden Fry, and closet Iowa fan. We discuss Alabama -- a lot of Alabama -- as well as John L. Smith's impact on southern football, Mark Richt's lack of control,...

  12. BHGPodcast 84

    Our series of conference previews continues, with Joe from The Key Play(@thekeyplay) joining us to talk about the ACC and scipiotex of Barking Carnival(@barkingcarnival) previewing the Big XII. We also shoehorn in some Greg Davisdiscussion, because, well, why the hell not.

  13. BHGPodcast 83

    Nine months ago, we podcasted with Chris and Kevin. The topics of conversation included whether Joe Paterno would retire, whether Jay Paterno had a chance of inheriting the throne, and what was wrong with the Nittany Lion offense. Nine months later, Joe Paterno and Jay Paterno are both gone, the...

  14. BHGPodcast 82

    We like all different conferences, we like every kind of fair. Look around, you bet we'll be there. Hot metal in the sun, pony in the air, MAC and Big East at the fair. What I'm saying is, we're going to loosely preview the other conferences over the next few weeks, starting tonight with a…

  15. BHGPodcast 81

    With both the reigning defensive player of the year and a newly-minted starting quarterback coming from the Iowa football program, the CFL has become must-watch offseason television. Of course, that means we have to understand Canadian football, and that's not exactly the easiest thing to do.…

  16. BHGPodcast 80

    You might remember how we kind of dismissed Chick-Fil-A as completely overrated and thoroughly mediocre a couple of weeks ago. Many took umbrage, but none did so with the class and charm of Senator Blutarsky, proprietor of Get the Picture, keeper of the Mumme Poll, and fan of all things Georgia...

  17. BHGPodcast 79

    It's the last week of March, so it's time for a BHGP tradition: The Wrestlemania Preview Podcast. This year, Ross and I are joined by Tom Holzerman (the proprietor of Walls of Jerichoholic and regular participant in #RawIsTwitter) and Jackson Young (who you probably know as Smokin' Herb Grigsby)....

  18. BHGPodcast 78

    For a year now, we've been religiously reading the Kingsbury Factor, the ridiculously entertaining blog dedicated to college basketball in general and undersized bomb-chucking shooting guards in particular. Their patron saint: Chris Kingsbury, former Iowa Hawkeye and the subject of many an urban...

  19. BHGPodcast 77

    WOAH DOUBLE PODCAST: A rare two-podcast week, you guys! I talked Iowa hoops, Big Ten tournament, coaching changes, and beer with Justin VanLaere of Hawkeye Nation dot com. Mostly, it was just a chance for us to catch up with one of our favorite Iowa writers and a Friend of the Pants.

  20. BHGPodcast 76

    It's the most wonderful time of the year, the Marchifornication Selecting Sunday Special, where Adam and I attempt to explain the Marchifornication bracket and predict what will happen (as we all know, the chances of this bracket staying intact throughout the tournament are near 100%). It's right...

  21. BHGPodcast 75

    Iowa finally got around to hiring Greg Davis yesterday. Fortunately, the delay gave us plenty of time to set up a podcast with Peter Bean, purveyor of SBN Texas blog Burnt Orange Nation, EDSBS Live co-host, Friend of the Pants, and Greg Davis aficionado. We discuss Davis' stint with Texas, his...

  22. BHGPodcast 74

    Phil Parker is the defensive coordinator, Darrell Wilson makes a lateral move from linebackers to secondary, Reese Morgan somehow ended up as defensive line coach, and Jacobi's probably not wearing pants. There are still three openings on the staff, only two of those openings weren't open this…

  23. BHGPodcast 73

    In Podcast 73, we talk about this week's Nebraska-Iowa game with Erin Sorensen (Twitter @helloerinmarie) of Husker Locker. it includes a discussion of what the HEROES TROPHY PRESENTED BY HY-VEE might be (yes, these are not recorded live), why Friday will see the Big Ten's two toughest halfbacks,...

  24. BHGPodcast 72

    We'd rather have a sister in a whorehouse than a brother in West Lafayette, Indiana, but that doesn't mean we can't take a minute to talk about trains, creepy mascots, NBA TV hunting shows, and THE MOST INTENSE RIVALRY IN COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS OH YEAH THAT'S RIGHT SUCK IT MICHIGAN-OHIO STATE with...
