800

by Screen Name 20 on Oct 28, 2008 2:57 PM EDT

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't our next win #800. I haven't heard anything about the OSU win being 799, but coming into this season I'm pretty sure we needed 10 to get there.

If we win at Iowa, we will be the 6th team to do so. Here's to reaching 800 before our good friends from the south, Bama, who are only a few wins behind us.

That should say: “6th team to reach 800.”

We started the season with 789

We need 2 more but hopefully we’ll get 4 more!! :-)

Doesn’t look to be updated for 2008 records…think we sit at 799.

hmm

Stassen’s database had us at 789 through 2007

hah,

That one must not have counted the first win at Ohio State back in 1912 since we were hitting too hard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_State_Nittany_Lions_football says we’re currently at 798

I wonder if Oklahoma's Sugar Bowl forfeit...

…has anything to do with the confusion? In the NCAA’s eyes we won, but PSU refused to count the win.

That was my guess. PSU won't count it but the NCAA does.

So it will be like daylight savings time at the bars

They’ll do last call at 1:45…but then it reaches 2:00, the clocks go back an hour, and you get to celebrate another hour at the bar!

Calculating

JoePa’s had about 485 wins as a head or assistant coach, 798 wins all-time. That means 3/5 of all wins since 1887 have featured JoePa on the sidelines or coaches box.

More Calculating

Heading into the game with Iowa, Paterno’s career record as Head Coach is 381-125-3. Which means he would need 36 victories to have half of Penn State’s victories ALL TIME.
