My ultimate happiness...
rests on whether or not we win this game.
I was out in the trenches, which enables me to paint such a powerful picture, like Apocalypse Now.-Cormega
It is the greatest Saturday in 2008
Good Morning Penn State fans today is the first day of the rest of ouir season. I ask you all to be confident just as we want the team to be confident. This game is ours and the Buckeyes will not take it from us. We Are!!!!
Watching the Big Ten network this morning, Glenn Mason, Jerry Dinardo, etc....
and they were comparing PSU and OSU and picking who has the advantage in different areas of the game, and they actually said that OSU had the advantage at Quarterback, Running Back, Offensive Line, Linebackers, Secondary and said it was a toss up at head coach.
Advantage at Quarterback…..are you kidding me? Offensive Line….what?
The haters are up early this morning.

I saw that last night...
Unbelievable! Giving them the QB edge is pretty bad, but O-Line?! What?! We may have the best O-line in the nation, let alone the Big Ten. It’s all good though… we’ll change all that hate tonight…
Todd McShay
has talked twice this week about our O-Line being a weakness. I’m starting to wonder if he’s seen any of Penn State’s games…or looked at a stat sheet and seen Royster’s ypc. How do guys like him work for the “WWL?”
I can't think...
of another Quarterback I’d rather have leading the Lions in Columbus today. This will be a defining moment in Darryl Clark’s career at Penn State.
this is the defining day of our boys' lives
We will be talking about this day for many years….
Coach Tressel has called for a "Scarlet Out" and "Scarlet Fever"?
My advise to them is to be careful…..a bull charges when he sees RED!
And, better be careful asking for Scarlet Fever, because you might just end up with a bad case of Laurenitis instead, which is the cousin of Jock Itch!!!!

It's also
a HUGE day for Derrick Williams. He has a real shot at achieving what he set out to do when he came to Penn State…He’s going to be up for this game. No doubt about it.
Morning after headline predictions from Big Ten Network butt wipes....
Jerry Dinardo-Scarlet Fever
Glen Mason-30 Years and Counting
Howard Griffith-Goodbye Columbus, Hello Miami!
Howard is the only one picking PSU

Yo I just thought of something....
Pryor is getting sacked alot to start off his career. If evans, maybin and co. can keep that trend going there can definitely be “TPS Report” posted. Mostly for the comedy but it could also chronicle the impact that each Terrelle Pryor Sack had.
I hope this comes off, it will be classic!
Anyone else just see the Ode to JoePa on gameday?
Nice way to honor the best coach ever! I love JoePa!

In '74
I lived in East Halls and had an 8 am Saturday (ugh) golf phys.ed class at Rec Hall. At 7:45 on the way across campus I’d pass Joe every home Game Day (he walked to the Beav) and would say “Hello, Coach”, and he’d say “Hey, how ya doin’?”. It was a huge kick for me even then.
So yeah – Joe and I have had at least six 1-on-1 personal conversations. We are tight.
OT: I made every golf class that year, for 2 reasons:
1) I was always done throwing up by then, and
2) I was assigned to help classmate Jennifer Shenk, as I’d been playing since age 6.
She made it well worth my hangover-plagued trudge across Parking Lot 80. And back.

(Excuse me ladies – just my testosterone showing through. No piggishness intended.)
Not only are they skilled, they have an amazingly violent streak, which I love. Last weekend Christa Harmotto bounced a kill off a Michigan girl’s forehead that landed about 8 rows deep in the stands. Then she laughed.
Loved it.

Tears of anticipation. I’ve had a few of those already this morning. Of course, a 4am bedtime after many beers at G.O.D.S. Night (Guys Out Doing Shit) sandpapers the synapses and keeps emotions close to the surface.

Last night, ESPN Classic showed the 2001 OSU-PSU game when JoePa broke the all-time wins record.

I hope our boys were watching that, as the entire GameDay cast picked OSU. LOu Holtz and Mark May did too. 2/3 of the Big Ten Network said Buckeyes had this one.
I still laugh when I hear the ‘no respect’ talk coming out of OSU. How many times this season have we heard “is PSU for real” or “PSU needs to prove themselves” “we need to see more from PSU”
The theme for the week I’ve noticed is Penn State is going to lose, if Penn State wins they may not make it into the NC game. You definitley don’t hear them say that about Texas or Alabama. Matter of fact, most keep mentioning a 1 loss team getting in. What gives?
Dude
The national perception of the Big Ten is horrible and has not gotten much better this year. We are fortunate at how bad the ACC has been. Going into the season a second BCS bid for the conference was far from a given. If we lose today, I’m wondering whether there is at least a chance we’re staring at the Capital One bowl. Especially since I totally agree with Herbstreit saying an 11-1 OSU has no chance of playing in the title game.

I am waiting for the 3:30 game because that one should be good.
I have been waiting for this game all week
I just want to see a win. Make it look like the Wisconsin game and I would be happy :)
Like Wisconsin
is a possibility. We def have the weapons. Just need the execution.

yeah
that is why they are noon games. and why PSU and OSU and Wisc have 8pm games

but it is getting to cold right now to ride.

I feel the same way about cycling. Ain’t done much a nuttin outside since a Sept triathlon.
Do you live on a lake?

I use to live next the allegheny river. I loved out to ohio a few years ago so I keep trying to find different lakes out here to ride in.

Yeah have 1 of each
I like the stand up better.
I rode a sit-down one
in Cleveland. Are you near there? It was cool—the variety. Started out going real slow (15mph speed limit) down the Cuyahoga. But it was cool seeing all those old mills and factories from the river level, and all those crazy different bridges too. Then turned around and went out to the Lake and opened er up. Was a cool way to be a tourist.

After watching ILL and Wisc games
All of our wins don’t really look like much. I hope we win big against OSU just to prove that we are having a great year.
Hold the phone :)
jetskijoe……….they absolutely don’t play defense in the Big 12. I think we are alright. Both the OK game and the TT game have 49 points scored in the first half alone. Come on now.
Don’t worry. I think we are alright.
Eric Watters Atlanta, Ga.
The main reason I saw that
Is because we called Wisc and ILL both tough wins and great wins. Don’t get me wrong I loved the wins, but Wisc is having such a bad year now with the loses and ILL has’t looked that good all year.
Oh well we will still win :)
GO STATE
Right.
I jumped the gun based on the fact that all you hear about are the Big 12 and the SEC and I was trying to say that I am not anymore impressed with what I have seen out of the teams ahead of us at this point based on who they have played than I am with us having played Illinois and Wiscy.

At the start of the season I felt we were in the same situation, starting a new QB but otherwise solid teams. Man am I glad that we are not in their shoes, could you imagine the revolt against all things paterno (Jay and Joe, possibly Sue).

All above prediction I am OK with.

You will need it for tonight
I'm going to watch the game at Champs in SC
So I’m trying to decide if I want to start drinking now or just wait until we go
I think I will probably have another beer then take a nap before the game

I am just glad the weather is nice
I think that helps PSU a lot
PSU O-line
I was watching one of Todd Mcshay’s videos about the game and he called our o-line decent. He said that they wouldn’t be able to protect Clark enough and that Clark would collapse under the pressure of his first road night game in a big stadium. What about the Wisc. game and the fact that the line has only let up something like 5 sacks all year? I really hate the media.
Well
That was a weird call- if you hit the pylon but never touch inbounds, it’s a touchdown catch? I’ll need to write that one down…
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...
by TheK-GunNeedsReloaded on Oct 25, 2008 4:17 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah, WTF?
I’ve never seen that call before. It is Michigan, and the calls do tend to go their way. Three times PSU arguably had the ball in the end zone last week, and one was ruled incomplete after a foot down and two others were spotted on the 1 foot line.
If one foot down with the ball in your control until you hit the ground isn’t a touchdown, how is tapping the pylon with your foot a TD? I need to see the rulebook on that one.
Pylon
I can’t vouch for the college rulebook, but in NFHS/high school rules the pylon is considered an extension of the field. It looked like a touchdown to me. The reactions of the commentators were great.
Yeah, but . . .
I thought that the pylon represented Vertical extension of the sideline in the endzone. For example, if the goal line is the x axis, they sideline is the y, and the pylon is the z. I can see the argument if the ball hits the pylon, but Minor’s foot was easily 15 inches out of bounds.
Also, did anyone see how scUM got the ball on that drive? The ground obviously caused the fumble by Hoyer. I knew Michigan got calls at home but two blatantly obvious calls like that have got to have D’antonio beside himself.
Whoops.
Rule 4, Section 2, Article 1.b. A player or an airborne player who touches a pylon is out of bounds.
Ok, so I'm not crazy

I have a
22oz. Mt. Nittany Pale Ale from Ottos that I bought before I moved out here for a co-op. I have been saving that for a special occaision
I've got the good old case of yuengling
and the lady (I’ll be proactive here….she is hot) is drinking Corona light.
I feel like I am supporting the state of PA by drinking yuengling. She, no the other hand, is supporting the state of, uuhhh, Mexico?
I bleed Blue and White.

I can't get yuengling
here in Ohio it sucks

and your lady, she may be hot but she also . . . sounds hot
ah, nicely played

I have been drinking Sam Adams Octoberfest
I love the taste of it but you can only get it now. :)
Mmmm, Oktoberfest is good
but only when it’s ice cold.

Anyone else watch the college football live halftime report at half of the Texas game?
Trevor Matich named the strength’s and weaknesses of Texas, Alabama, and PSU….Texas’ weakness was the safety position, Alabama’s was youth, and Penn State?……Nothing….he claimed Penn State’s strength was balance, and they are the most complete team in the nation. He also said Penn State is the best team and would beat anyone on a neutral field.
At least there’s someone at ESPN besides Kirk who believes the Blue and White is the real deal!
WOOOO
who is ready for a great night of football :)
Relax
If we win tonight we are the real deal and get a good laugh listening to them all flip flop. If we lose, then what are we going to say to all of these people who are doubters? That we are drunken idiots who doubted their wisdom?

HEY
I am not an idiot. A drunk? Well…ok, then.
John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

and maybe only 1/2 the time when I’m not.

This is interesting
Apparently to pass the time today the team got together in the hotel conference room and watched the 1994 PSU-OSU game.

I wonder who
suggested that. If it was joe, that really shows that he has the highest expectations for the team and he is really excited about their chances. I know he has begun to say that but I always wonder how much of that is to get the media to buy into the team.
Mike you going to make another thread for the game
I am sure this one is going to get slow
Post says he's putting up a new one an hour before kick

Shouldn't we be calling them tUoOS?
Since Pryor called them “the university of ohio state” when he announced them as his choice back in Feb?
He is as dumb as his passing technique is bad. Does that make sense, or just to me?
I bleed Blue and White.
Pryor is dumb
Did you see the interview with him on Gameday today? He said Poise like it was going out of style.
Agreed, he is dumb
and probably didn’t want to come to PSU b/c JoePa said he’d actually have to go to class and mature as a man.
He’d rather just be the next punk-ass “I’m all that” jerkoff like Pacman Jones or T.O.

I FU*KING HATE michigan
I hope they all get staph infections and their balls fall off
I bleed Blue and White.
I apologize...I forgot
michigan players don’t have balls.
I hope their labia shrivel up and fall off

Wallace
I was watching one of the hype videos on youtube, and I got this weird feeling when I saw King’s int. from the 2006 osu game. For some reason I have a feeling that wallace will have a magical catch just like that. Hopefully, Clark won’t play the part of Morelli from the same game.
terrible kick
michigan state’s kicker reminds me of hellen keller
did you see the one that said
“I bought this beer from Ki-Jana carter?”
Also the arnold schwarzenegger in the OSU jersey was pretty good

and even though it was rude and anti-PSU, I laughed at the one that said
“If pooping your pants is cool, consider me JoePa”

I should have went down
I didn’t wake up in time to go down. I live about 20 mins outside of downtown. It is a pain in the ass living here and being an PSU fan. I wear my PSU stuff everywhere but I hear it all the time. WE REALLY NEED TO WIN TONIGHT!!!!!!! I want to so bad put it in everyones face :)
if we win, you have my permission to act like a monkey
and throw your feces at OSU fans.

Wazzu Flag
is always my favorite. Not a sign, but those people are hardy. Tough skin
good weather for tonight....
Who does that help?
Windy weather helps us
since it will knock down some of those punts pryor throws up

You all should be watching
The Ok State at Texas game. Getting real good.
JoePa in '09
I don't get it :(
I get the Michigan vs MSU
I'm watching it
Nobody in the Big XII knows how to play defense. McCoy has thrown like three incompletions all day, and two of them were drops. This isn’t even football. It’s like flag football.

72 points
scored in the Pitt-Rutgers game with 5:59 left in the 3rd. What a defense from the ’stache.
Epitome of the Big XII
Oklahoma State is down by four points with eight minutes to go. Texas is driving the ball and they have entered OSU territory. The Cowboys need a defensive stop.
But OSU coach Mike Gundy is away from the sideline sitting on the bench with a clipboard planning his next move on offense. His team is in the middle of the biggest defensive stand of the game and he’s still thinking offense.

I have a question
What does everyone do before a game like tradition, superstition, anything like that. for me I have to have a beer and a PSU shirt. I feel if I wear this shirt they will win. Am I crazy or do other people do the same things??
Poz Jersey
I’m taking credit for the lousy first quarter and second half comeback last week. I forgot to put my Poz jersey on until halftime.
Mike
Black Shoe Diaries
Ok cool
I am not the only one that does that stuff :)
I've been wearing my POZ jersey
all day. Got some comments wishing PSU well as I ran my errands…. GO STATE!
#12
Dude I got that so long ago I don’t truly remember who it was that year… Wally?

i'm a wear t-shirt/jersey
and my tradition is to where the same colors as the team. It’s “blue” at home and “white” away. Which put me in a very big dilemna at the IL game. I have always believed that wearing “white” (as in the white-out games) is almost a show of support for the visiting team. I went along with wearing a white t-shirt that day, but went with a lot of blue as secondary colors. Blue sweats, blue ballcap. I even had a blue turtleneck on hand to wear underneath the t-shirt if it got cold later on.

Big Play
Okla St. just got a turnover. They have the ball down four with 5:23 to go deep in their own territory. We’ll see if they can drive the field.

Just saw the gamecast
Sweet! Take it all the way home OSU.
It’d be an even sweeter win if Texas and ’Bama fall. Ohhh boy.
anyone know if Joe has decided
on sideline or box tonight?
MSU won
after Mich gave up another int. Also looks like Ringer keeps getting hurt.
I expect to see Joe coaching from the box the rest
until the MSU game.
anyone know
if where so lucky has to have Erin Andrews part of the crew tonight?
Yeah
To RUTGERS. Jeesh. Either Rutgers really turned around or Pitt D is terrible.
I’m sensing a combination of both.
RU still sux
Teele just happened to have a good game today. Living in NJ it’s good to see the RU fans go back into their holes.
got my shot glass ready :)
Every score psu makes I take a shot :)
There with you, Joe!

the Captain and I used to be good friends
until I met his friend Sailor Jerry. Tastes better, and is I think 92 proof (and I think Captain is 75?). I highly recommend it.
