Around SBN: Super Bowl XLVI: Eli Manning And The Meaning Of 'Elite'

Things I'd like to see

I've been looking forwards to this week's game ever since the final whistle of the destruction of Wisconsin. 
I admit it; I was the one looking past UM; sorry about that.

Anyway, without further ado, a list of ten things I'd like to see:

Star-divide

  1. I’d like to see Royster with 200 rushing yards;
    -- but I’d settle for him maintaining his YPC average.

  2. I’d like to never hear or read Chris Wells’ nickname again;
    -- but I’d settle for seeing him shut down by the PSU defense.

  3. I’d like to see Clark with 300 yards total offense;
    -- but I’d settle for seeing the Clark Trophy pose again after a TD against Ohio State.

  4. I’d like to see Maybin sack Pyror and force a fumble;
    -- but I’d settle for Maybin sacking him for 20 yard loss.

  5. I’d like to see Williams take the opening kick-off to the house;
    -- but settle for him not fumbling any kick returns.

  6. I’d like to see Laurinaitis pancaked repeatedly;
    -- but I’d settle for watching him jump on the pile to pad his stats eight to ten yards downfield.

  7. I’d like to see Evans, Maybin, Odrick, Gains, Hull, Bowman, Mauti, Astorino, Scirrotto, Davis, and the rest of the defense share Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week award;
    -- but I’d settle for Hull having a good day.

  8. I’d like to see Pryor in the post-game interview apologizing to the Ohio State boosters who have been "incredibly generous and the reason I came to the University of Ohio State;"
    -- but I’d settle for seeing a post-game interview with the winning QB, Daryll Clark.

  9. I’d like to see PSU win the MNC;
    -- but I’d settle for an undefeated season and a bowl victory.

  10. I’d like to see at the end of the game, a choir of angels descending from heaven and saying to Joe Paterno, "you have served so well we hearby grant you a 43 year contract extension." Then, after the angels disappear in a flash of light like the explosion of a thousand suns, when everyone’s vision begins to clear they see Joe as he was at 39 years of age just like his first season as head coach;
    -- but I’d settle for Joe getting his hip fixed in the off season and seeing him run out the tunnel again in 2009.

I love it all

I’d even settle for us to go to the MNC and lose a close, tough, hard fought game against a great opponent. You know, one of those games that people will be talking about for years to come. (Of course I’d still rather us win it all)

Clark Trophy

I made sure to send that picture one of my bosses that is a buckeyes fan. Intimidation.

I also sent him a picture of Tressel in that ridiculous red blazer from this week. My man looked like the evil version of the Notre Dame leprechaun.

"It was an attrition football game and you know we like that."

Tressel's real-estate jacket

Was that damn thing awful, or what? The only thing worse was that god-awful tie.

To the real point:
Confirmy, that really is a helluva nice post. You should circulate this on one as one of those email chain letters and tell people if they don’t forward it to 10 people in 5 minutes an Ohio State recruit will get another free vehicle.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Sweet post

I especially liked #6. I read #9 and had to rethink the whole meaning of life. I honestly never thought of that as a legitimate possibility. And I’m not sure I’d be ok with that.

on 2nd thought

I guess it would be fine as long as #10 happened.

I’d like to not have my car set on fire in the parking lot after we win Saturday night.

Beyond that, it’s all good.

or struck by lightning.

If I could be anywhere in college football in the past ten years, I wish I could have been standing by Lee Corso’s rental car and looking at the expression on his face as he realized it had just been struck by lighning.
