Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Game Day Open Thread - Iowa Hawkeyes

I'm cutting out early to start making my way up to State College. Here's your open thread for the game. Those of you watching the game on ESPN2 feel free to take part. If we lose let's all come back for a group hug.

If you're going to the game feel free to stop by and say "Howdy" at the tailgate. We're getting a little later start than usual this week so I think we'll be rolling up the hill sometime around 8 AM. I think that will put us on the slope behind center field of the baseball stadium in the yellow parking. I think we'll get there early enough we shouldn't be past the first line of trees. We'll have some kind of banner up that says blackshoediaries.com or something like that. It may not be very big and it won't be flying very high so you may have to look for it. We're low budget so don't expect tons of food, beer, and hookers. Hope to see you there anyway.

Go State! Beat Iowa!

So far,
Neither team has been able to move the ball.

Iowa
If we can beat Iowa this week and play to our potential, do you think we can turn things around for the rest of the season?

oh, ya
Oh, ya, you guys will win this one.  Please arrive overconfident.  We need a break or two this week.  

Is there protocol that allows an iowa guy to stop by the tailgate?

lol
The chances of us being overconfident are slim. Two words can describe why... Anthony Morelli!

Tailgate
You lost me at no hookers :)

Seriously - Penn State rolls big here, surprises us all, and quashes the Morelli bashing until the Wisconsin game (hopeful thinking).  Penn State 28, Iowa 9

The bright side
At least Austin Scott won't fumble tomorrow!

Significant game for me
Dad went to PSU, Mom went to Iowa.  They're going to the game, got seats at the 45 yard line (shows the type of demand for tix these days).  Meanwhile, I'm away all day and counting on my roommate to not disrupt the DVR in my absence.  Awesome.

If
this game goes the way I think it might go, you might end up being happy that your roomie stopped recording the Prozac Bowl. Who knows what will happen.

Quiet today
The blog is quiet today. How are we gonna break 100 commments?

mistakes early
first kinlaw coughs it up as we are driving and then D-will fair-catches the ball on the five!  Mistkakes have killed us all year!
GO STATE!

Thank God
I stopped caring about this season after last saturday.

by MarkoMancuso on Oct 6, 2007 3:50 PM EDT reply actions  

I care
and it is killing me.
GO STATE!

Let it go JB
Let this season fall away. Exhale deeply and breathe out the impurities of an awful season. You know you want to.

the student section is empty
Not a very good sign.  It appears Marco isn't the only one who is dead inside.
GO STATE!

by GLORYOFOLDSTATE on Oct 6, 2007 3:58 PM EDT reply actions  

ROYSTER!
Hell yes!  It is your time to shine big boy!
GO STATE!

by GLORYOFOLDSTATE on Oct 6, 2007 4:01 PM EDT reply actions  

WTF
was that.  Morelli seems to have lost all confidence.
GO STATE!

by GLORYOFOLDSTATE on Oct 6, 2007 4:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Our chance
to get on the board!  safety situation.  It is the only way!
GO STATE!

by GLORYOFOLDSTATE on Oct 6, 2007 4:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Huh
I didn't know Tacopants played for Penn State.

by MarkoMancuso on Oct 6, 2007 4:08 PM EDT reply actions  

Royster rocks
I'll keep saying that until he fumbles.

by MarkoMancuso on Oct 6, 2007 4:16 PM EDT reply actions  

ROYSTER!
looks great.  He is putting the team on his back right now.  It may be PSU's best chance.  Morelli, however, looks terrible.  Put in clarke for a series for the love of god!
GO STATE!

Another game
another blown red-zone opportunity.

by MarkoMancuso on Oct 6, 2007 4:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Hmm...
Anthony just dropped in a nice ball to butler. Wow bell just dropped a wide open td.

by LinebackerU on Oct 6, 2007 4:47 PM EDT reply actions  

AMMO!
really finished strong.  Several great passes right on the money!
GO STATE!

by GLORYOFOLDSTATE on Oct 6, 2007 5:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Since when
could Kelly hit a field goal from 53 yards. ?????

by MarkoMancuso on Oct 6, 2007 5:02 PM EDT reply actions  

calm down, sports fans
You know #14 will have the kind of day that the Mr. Fujis will spin as 'I told you so'. Anthony always has one hugh series a game. Truth is, any of the young QB's could have played and won today. #14 is just waiting for a big game to break our hearts with a big turnover or silly sack. (see OSU or ND last season for example). I see additional agony in our future.

by dr kill on Oct 6, 2007 5:18 PM EDT reply actions  

damn
I hate being correct all the time.

by dr kill on Oct 6, 2007 6:24 PM EDT reply actions  

RBs
Kinlaw is tearing up, to no one's suprise here. What's up with the suspension of Scott? I heard it was sexual harrasment, but you know how crazy rumors are. How about Bell dropping that TD after we were repping him all year?
