Pollspeak voting breakdown for week 10

by RNF18 on Oct 31, 2008 12:02 PM EDT

I didn't see it posted here previously. Maybe I'm blind so I apologize if that's the case. I was looking at the site and I couldn't believe that more than a few of the voters have us 4th, 5th, and unbelievably 6th!!! Obviously for the voters who have us this low, there's no convincing them. They have their bias and hell hath no fury like a journalist's scorn!

While it’s disappointing to see some people ranking us below #3, it is encouraging to see the number of people who have us at #2. The optimists on us far outnumber the pessimists.

Exactly

There are almost 4 times as many people who voted us #2 as there are people who voted us #4-6.

you don't understand

the only way they could fit 3 SEC teams and 2 Big 12 teams into the top 5 was to drop PSU down to #6…see? It is all completely logical. I’m actually a bit surprised that we aren’t ranked 25th, behind the 12 SEC and 12 Big 12 teams.

Those are the people

Who would say our equals in the Big XII and SEC are Baylor and Mississippi St.

funny how

four of the five people that dropped psu to #4-6 are west coasters (3 soco, 1 wa)

and if i remember correctly three of them had usc rated higher than penn state (in the #3 spot)

a little hometown bias never hurt anyone from being reasonable right?

Echoing what JNitt was saying

The same d-bags that have us 6th wedged all of the SEC teams they could get away with in front of us as did the west coast homers whose beloved rubbers lost to a team we crushed. This kinda thing just makes me ill. I have purposely been avoiding this site for the last 4 weeks or so and this is why. And here I thought I would have a nice, relaxing bye week… :)

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

Not THIS site, mind you... but Pollspeak

MIke, Ruts, Kevin… please forgive any misunderstandings there. I haven’t been able to avoide this site for more than 12 hours or so since I found it (Thank my cousin Holly at EDSBS for that!)

Your cousin

sounds hot…and christmas-y

Holly writes some good stuff

Much better stuff than her Holiday Friends Merry and Joy.

Holiday friends...

Ahh yes…. everyone was feeling Merry and when Merry left they all jumped for Joy!
Tasteless? I do not care…

Everything about that statement is hot

Christmas-y Hot

Sounds extra hot.

Now all we gotta do is get TME’s babysitter decked out in some xmas gear….

lol

considering you post about as frequently as I do, I don’t think anyone would ever accuse you of avoiding this site for more than a day, let alone for a month.

By the way, I also am way too addicted to this site. The only blog/forum I check for anything (mostly because after the time I spend on here, I don’t have time to check anywhere else :-p )

by The JuggerNitt on Oct 31, 2008 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions

Amen to that

Here’s to hoping we all meet up at a tailgate in Florida!

I'll third that

I can imagine what the entire day of the NC game would be like in the parking lot of Dolphin Stadium. Good things.

Just for the hell of it....

I ran dual reports on Pollspeak using PSU and……an SEC team of your choice. Easy to do using their left sidebar.

May I be the first to suggest that Ms. Molly Yanity sounds screamingly unattractive? Totally and completely Un-Hot? K9-ish, even?

Let’s not guess, though:

Yikes! It’s Rosie O’Donnell’s uglier sister. And that’s the NICEST pic I saw. Which is unfortunate. For her, anyway.

Since she’s from the Seattle ‘Intelligent as a Post’, she must just be a PSU hater, while wallowing in her Wazzou Love. Let’s see how we rank up with Loveable USC in her mind:

http://pollspeak.com/pollstalker/pollstalker.php?r=T&s=5&p=9&w=10&t1=79&t2=105&v=0

Close, but wrong. Not as wrong as Kevin Pearson, but wrong.

Looking further, she’s drawn the attention of Pollspeak before. Specifically, Week 8:

Just proves the point: gorgeous ladies like Penn State.

The bitch from Seattle (Molly Yanity)

is a legendary dumbass. She raises the bar incredibly high in incompetence. I would like to think that whomever decides who and who will not have a vote in the AP poll year to year would immediately strip this bitch’s vote away from her.

by blogue20 on Oct 31, 2008 2:44 PM EDT up reply actions

I've noticed

that her polls are consistently horrible, and indefensible. It makes me wonder what horrible thing the Big 10 must have done to her in some past life

by The JuggerNitt on Oct 31, 2008 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions

Just make sure

you’re only stripping her vote…..screamingly unattractive and totally & completely not hot need to stay clothed.

I tried

to word it as carefully as possible, I recognized the potential of misleading my thoughts while typing it. Nobody wants to see Rosie O’Donnell’s sister strip anything but votes.

by blogue20 on Oct 31, 2008 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions

To be fair

They blew out Ohio State by 32 points, while we struggled to beat them by 7. I know you can’t compare like that because of all the obvious things, but I would guess that would be their justification.

by jimbo2psu on Oct 31, 2008 3:02 PM EDT up reply actions

To add to that...

There are only 2 common opponents between USC and Penn State, so I’m guessing they chose to ignore Oregon State and consider Ohio State the true barometer. Pretty dumb.

by jimbo2psu on Oct 31, 2008 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Yes, but

OSU traveled 2000 miles and 3 time zones. That’s worth a few points. OSU still choked, though.

USC travels 200 miles, and gets dumped by our friends at the other OSU, who in turn travelled 2000 miles to get clocked by us. PSU goes 200 miles and beats tOSU.

See where I’m going with this?

Me either.

that if you draw lines between the 4 places you get a parallelogram?

perhaps even a rectangle if the angles work out!

Or perhaps that you don’t know your geography quite as well as you should, as LA & Corvallis are almost 1000 miles apart, OSU & PSU are closer to 400 miles apart, and the Big 10 and Pac-10 schools you mention are more like 2500 miles apart :-P

Nice one, Magellan...

lol… just kidding

Awwllll shit!

It might be on…I’m holding Pete the Streak back, but can only get away with it for so long there Jnitt….

Since we're all Nittany Lions here.....

Does that make this a cat fight?

lol

well I’m not too scared, since if the above conversions hold true he’s likely to think I’m about half as far away as I am, and go beat up some other guy by accident.

by The JuggerNitt on Oct 31, 2008 4:50 PM EDT up reply actions

oh, and also

if anyone ever analyzed my “pulled a number out of my ass” calculations, I’d probably retroactively fail all my math classes from second grade on.

by The JuggerNitt on Oct 31, 2008 4:52 PM EDT up reply actions

Nothing in my above comment

is to be considered as anything even remotely accurate regarding distance, geography or parallelogramy geometry. I yield to your superior acumen in ALL those disciplines, Sir. Besides, you’re in Michigan, right? Bordering the Portuguese rain forest, if I’m not mistaken. So I know where to find you when I need to borrow a beer.

My point, I think, was………shit. I forget.

Anyway, Molly Yanity remains Un-Hot, unintelligent, and nakedly jealous of Rosie’s attractiveness quotient.
