Booyah!

Nothing like sending the most obnoxious fanbase in college football to bed crying.

I was surprised PSU never got its offense going, though I had anticipated that OSU would chew up clock and play the field position game. I also had a gut felling Pryor was going to make a few mistakes. Finally, a team stepped up and punished him for his overconfidence. The forced fumble was pure karmic justice for Pryor’s comment that Big Ten play was like high school. Then Sargeant’s pick punished one last moon ball. It took until his final pass, but at least he got schooled. Those throws are kind of like changeups; once you know they’re coming, you will mash them up.

What impressed me most was the defensive game plan. They made Pryor throw by keeping contain with the pass rush and put 8 or 9 in the box on running downs. Pryor’s 3rd down conversions were frustrating, but the guy is a serious stud at finding an open man when linebackers get pulled up.

I’m fully appreciating this one. OSU will again be the team to beat next year, but this was a big time win in a tough environment.

After what I saw

in Miami at the Orange Bowl in ’05.

PSU doesn’t just travel well, we literally TAKE OVER a city. I’ve never seen anything like it. We OWNED Miami for close to a week. It was Penn State’s personal playground and $ was not an object.

That’s why rates are going through the roof. Not that it’s right, but they know we’ll pay it.

That was one of the best college football games I’ve ever seen. As was Ohio State in 2005.

It’s somewhat blasphemy to say this, but I’m glad they’re in the Big Ten. The games Penn State has with them are just awesome.

True,

plus it was a much harder win than I thought it was going to be. I thought we would score more points. I also thought we would give up some more than we did.

by bconway6 on Oct 26, 2008 12:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Points usually come from screwups on defense – missed tackles, blown coverage, etc. This game was perfectly played by Penn State (zero penalties!) and almost perfectly played by Ohio State.

Games like this are going to be low-scoring, regardless of how good the offenses are. When the defenses play that well, it’s going to be a field position game.

Not covered in the recap, that play on the fumble by Sayles was unbelievable. He threw the OSU player with potential to recover the ball out of the way, then, knowing he could not recover the ball, knocked it backward to where a teammate could.

What is wrong with just a mass gathering of thousands of people chanting “WE ARE…PENN STATE!!!” You know it is always some overly drunk douchebag who probably doesn’t even care about the game/team/school who starts setting stuff on fire and trying to tip things over. I was told that at OSU they’ve really started cracking down on the douchery by students (kicking them out of school…which I guess PSU was doing wayback when, and MSU has done with their riots as well…and we see how well that’s turned out), so perhaps more could be done at PSU as well.

A thanks to the OSU fans

All this past week I’ve been reading comments from OSU fans in various blogs, and almost all mentioned the series history — how PSU hadn’t won in Columbus since joining the Big Ten or in 30 years.

And I’d dismissed those statements as irrelevant. This is 2008. And the 2008 Nittany Lions are something special.

Now, as I sit here enjoying the warm feeling of victory wash over me, I’m thinking, “Damn. What a Great Win. We haven’t won in Columbus in 30 years!”

Honestly, I KNEW we were going to win.

I didn’t think it was going to be this close, though. But at this moment, I’m just overcome with such a feeling of serene peace. I have about 25 minutes worth of communion prayers for church in the morning, but I don’t want to go to bed. I just want to sit and enjoy the calm and peace of a silent evening and reflect on all the demons that have been exorcised in the last three weeks:

Beating a ranked team on the road (twice)

Beating Michigan (Finally!!) Did anybody watch scUM and MSU and see scUM’s first TD. An announcer said that the rule states that if you’re in the air and your foot hits the pylon you’re out of bounds (Unless you’re a Wolverine; then it’s a TD. I fucking love seeing them get what’s coming to them).

Winning in Columbus.

Was anybody else choked up by the pictures of our JoePa at the beginning and end of the game. I was so amped up my eyes welled up. It’s moments like this I’m glad I’m alive. Like I told my unlce (PSU ‘79) this was just like the old glory days (did somebody cue Springsteen); gutting out a tough, tough road win. And wasn’t it deliciously sweet that our TD came off a Pryor fumble. I don’t want to go to bed. Again, this isn’t a passionate excitement. This is just a calm, silent, joyous moment to savor that I don’t want to end.

At least 5,000 people on the street. They took down 2 light posts and police are everywhere with mase. That crowd won’t be gone for another 2 hours. That intersection by Canyon Pizza is the epicenter. I saw a man in a chicken suit surf on a car. Life is good.

I can’t believe the articles and comments about the “riots”. I watched the Youtube vidoe and it is exactly the same as when I lived in Beaver Terrace in 1986 and the same thing happened (except the fires). The only difference now is the advent of cell phone cameras and Youtube. I watched the video and it is exactly the same. I still have a scar on my hand from when we tore down the goal post at beaver stadium and carried it to old main lawn. Its Saturday night, they are smashed and excited. A few light posts and stop signs torn down? We used to do that on a drunk scavenger hunt or when we wanted to re-decorate our apartment!

I wonder if any of these people that are sooo hyper about this even went to penn state? Don’t they remember the mifflin streak? Or the Phi Psi 500 (with alcohol)? Or the Regatta? I saw some crazy shit happen at all those events over 20 years ago. This has been going on for decades.

Screaming and having fun

are totally different then tearing down the town. I am all for running on the field (but not taking down the goal posts) after a big win, but ripping shit up in uncalled for. It makes you look so bush league. I can live with people burning their own couches like at WVU but breaking shit that isn’t yours is not needed and yes, I went to PSU for 5 years including during the years of the Arts Fest riots.

This is nothing new

I was just reading about a game a hundred years ago where Penn State lost to Penn by a touchdown or something. The students were so excited that the game was so close they set bon fires in the streets of State College. When they ran out of wood they started ripping boards off of buildings and porches. This was after a LOSS. I guess it’s in our blood.

it was

a regular season game against a lower ranked opponent. As I said before, ripping down shit is bush league and you know it. When we beat Miami in the fiesta bowl, that would have been a time to riot if I was old enough, but winning a game you should and rioting is just dumb.

I was at the arts fest riots, and I was at one at MSU once. I know what goes on.

Looking to make...

some shirts that say, “I survived my first riot in Happy Valley, and all I got is this lousy t-shirt”

Honestly, it becomes more than a celebration when police bring out the mace. That stuff was awful, just because it would be carried into your direction by the wind, even if you weren’t doing anything and just cause bad coughing fits. And doing a wrestling move to bring down a light post is probably my favorite incident of the evening.

Just gotta say....

WE ARE…. since I didn’t get to read the open thread last night. I was at a restaurant/bar called Fishlips in Cocoa Beach, FL. There seemed to be a lot of Phillies fans there to watch the World Series. By the end of the game, we had pretty much the whole bar doing the We are…PENN STATE cheer (the two Ohio State fans that were hurling insults at us all night were not participating). It was so cool and I was so freaking happy!!!

And now we FINALLY have a bye week and I don’t want to go two weeks without seeing Penn State play. Think ESPN classic or BTN will show a replay of last night’s game that I can DVR?? That’s one for the ages!

two weeks of happy valley-ness

What a great time for a bye week. Two weeks straight of being 9-0 undefeated. I’m going to live it up and walk tall. I don’t even care about the Steelers/Giants game today. I’m just spent.

Guys, from the articles I’ve read, I’m looking forward to the Rose Bowl and a Big Ten title. After reading gems like this this morning:

This team – and this conference – doesn’t deserve another chance at college football’s biggest prize. Besides, Paterno is used to fashioning an unbeaten team, then getting left out of the championship party. That has happened four times: 1968, 1969, 1973 and 1994.

http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=867979

it’s hard to get my hopes up.

With logic like that, how can you argue? It’s enough to drive a man to strong drink.

what logic?

Because Ohio State is overrated and can’t win big games, therefore Penn State is fated to do the same? Have they seen our bowl record? I’m tired of this bias against the big 10. All these d-bags can suck JoePa’s dick right now. Penn State is a great team and WE ARE the bearers of the big 10 flag. They’ll all see The Grand Experiment culminate in success on the field in Miami.

by TheMightyErik on Oct 26, 2008 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yeah, look at this dickheads logic as to who "belongs"

Texas. Okay. They defeated 3 Top 10 teams.

Alabama. Beat Kentucky by 3 and Ole Miss by 4. Yep. Really look like world beaters. Raced to a big lead, and had to hang on to beat Georgia. And does anybody really think Clemson is an impressive win? I guess it’s impressive if you’re an SEC school that beat them.

Texas Tech. All I can say about they’re high powered offense is this: Offense wins games, defense wins championships, bitch.

Florida. One loss to a mediocre opponent (can’t remember who, but it was a big upset) when a PAT was blocked. If you can’t kick a PAT against a weakling, you’re not a champion.

Georgia. Gave up 300 points in the first half (I typed 300 on purpose to prove a point) to Alabama. If you come out flat in that environment, you’re not strong enough mentally to be champion.

USC. Look at Oregon State-Penn State score. Case closed here.

Why all the love for the SEC? When they beat each other, it’s a tough conference. When the Big Ten schools cannibalize each other, it’s because the league is weak. Name one school north of the Mason Dixon line an SEC school has beaten? None. And didn’t Auburn just get pimp slapped 34-17 by West Virginia on Thursday? So how tough is the SEC in real life, as opposed to the media’s perception? And we’re not Ohio State and Michigan: we win bowl games.

Best quote of the night:

TP – “I just didn’t hold the ball. I saw the end zone. It was there and the ball just fell out. I thought I was on my way to a touchdown but I just lost the ball. As soon as I fumbled it, I knew they would score.”

Did you not see Mark Rubin lining you up for a jacked up moment?
