Indiana Preview: Fire Something!

PrintWho Shot Who In The What Now? Indiana (3-7, 1-5) at Penn State (9-1, 5-1, sniffle). Noon kickoff at Beaver Stadium.
Kicking Television: YOU ARE LOOKING LIVE AT...the Big Ten Network? Wayne Larrivee, Charles Davis, and Charissa Thompson bring you the words. There is apparently a dispute as to which of the two Charissa Thompsons actually works for the BTN. If you're doing a Google image search, think cute, not whorish. Sorry to hurt your feelings.
Weather: Shitty! 100% chance of rain, as of this writing.
The Magic Bus: If you're one of the thousands of people who cheer the team on their way into the stadium, you may have noticed that the football team has new blue school buses this season. If you have $1,800 burning a hole in your pocket (and who doesn't, these days?), now you can own one of the old buses.
It's a 1980 Ford with 105,173 miles. On a weird note, the eBay listing promises to remove the "Pennsylvania State University" vinyl lettering from the side of the bus prior to the buyer taking possession. Why? Won't the winner immediately put the lettering back on?
So, let's assume you are the winning bidder. What do you do with the bus?
Can we just admit that everybody sucks? I have to agree with the vast majority of this, in that there appear to be so few quality teams in practically all of the major conferences. Honestly, where are all of the great teams this season, besides the lower plains?
Lest We Forget: Indiana was the underdog story last season.
Dubious Statistical Achievements: The Hoosiers rank 90th or higher in rushing defense (#93), pass efficiency defense (#100), total defense (#100), and scoring defense (#101). Oh, and sacks allowed (#100). There are 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Smoke Signals From Enemy Territory: Here's the fun you're missing by being a fan of a coaching staff with more long-term stability than granite. After guiding Indiana to a bowl game since 1993 -- Indiana! -- one year ago, in the aftermath of the death of their head coach, Hoosier fans are bringing "Fire Bill Lynch" signs to home games. Nice.
Pickin' On The Big Ten: "What are the [TEAM REDACTED] chances in this game? About the same as the fire hydrant's chance against the dog." Who could that possibly be (small hint, not Indiana). He also sees big things for your Nittany Lions. My prediction? Pain, naturally.

Charissa Thompsons - from a site called sidelinehotties.com
I’m just not sure about that third nipple…
I bleed Blue and White.
personally
I find this Charissa Thompson much more attractive than the whorish version.

Which Whorish Version?
Or, are the linked pics too decadent for this pseudo-family blog?
pax et amor
just type the name into Google and go to the "images" link on the top of the page
but be careful of the not safe for work results (I don’t know if you’ll see any of the “other” Charissa Thompson if you have the google content filter on, either).
Her vacant stare reminds me of #14

You cannot fool us, we the middle aged men of central PA are your groupies
and we’re not pretty.
I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?

speak for yourself
we all know kmblue, PSU Jen, and Mike’s own PSUWifey are all hot.
Also, I’m quite pretty (which is why I’m terrified if I ever get sent to prison)
Ok…so I’m not really that pretty…stop making fun of me!!!

and I pity any…um…well anyone, who isn’t me tonight.
That was quite charming of me, wouldn’t you say?
Ok, I’m done now :-p

You sound hot
But, uh, not in that way.
Nevermind.

Easy, RR
so how many cigarettes do you think we could get for JNitt if we all get thrown in the slam after the Rose Bowl?
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

That bus question
should have been on the roundtable.
I think it’s a pretty simple answer – convert it into a tailgating emporium. Tailgate Shogun – we’re counting on you…
We've already been discussing it.
We always wanted to buy the Penn State Sub Shop on Beaver Avenue, so he’s thinking we should convert the bus into a mobile Penn State Sub Shop.
(I’m planning mobile nightclub, myself)

The problems are numerous, though.
Where the hell do you park the thing when it’s not in use? Who in our tailgating group is actually going to get the CDL license required to drive it.
In all seriousness, go through the pictures on the eBay listing. Those of us who went to elementary school in the 1980’s recognize the crappy features of those buses immediately. Total flashback.

Hold-it
you park it at Hold-it. Either the one on 26 or 322 Business.
Check out the rules for the license – once it is a private/non-commercial vehicle (this is assuming that you don’t actually make it into a traveling sub shop – cause think about it – doing so would totally ruin your tailgate and your football fandom) – it might qualify as an RV
Parking it
Easy solution. Don’t store it. If I had that thing I would drive it to work every day. I mean, it’s got to get at least seven miles to the gallon. Right?

Black Shoe Diaries
More like 7 gallons/mile
My buddy has 3 of these that he converted to RV/party-mobiles.
A blast to ride, a bitch to own.
I've heard the same about fat women
I bleed Blue and White.

No CDL needed.
My dad and I have looked into converting a school bus to a “RV”. If it is going to be for private use only , such as a RV or “mobile sub shop” a CDL is not needed. We are currently looking to putting in a bid for the bus, so good luck if you bid.
We Are !!!!! ... Penn State !!!!!
No way, it's cold in State College.
It’s inside, it’s filled with the most beautiful women, and you’re not allowed in.

In theory...
It’s a home run. In reality, you’d need to do a TON of work to add in a bathroom, hot tub, stripper pole, wet bar, pool table, light-up disco floor, and fog machine.
Considering that my technical skills are a bit lacking, I think I’ll take a pass on the bus.
Of course, if we added a mobile sub shop, we’d have revenue to offset the expenses of the work needed to turn this into something worthy of the Tailgate Shogun and his Legacy of Redonkulous Tailgates.

PENN STATE SUB SHOP #1 FOR SALE
DONT LET THE TRADITION DIE BUY THE SUB SHOP SO U CAN COME AND SEE ALL THE PICTURES AND HAVE A MEMORY FROM COLLEGE AND CONTINUE FEEDING THE STUDENTS AND ALUMNI
BSD BUS
That is awesome, tear out some seats and throw in some bunk beds and a slap a big TV on the back. The potential is great. There is a white bus that goes to the home games, I think they call it The Penn State Tailgate Bus (written on the side). The people just park it next to their house in blossburg, it adds a certain decorum to any yard.
I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?
James Hardy won't be there, right?
You’re sure, right?
Right?

Thanks for that flashback..
Somewhere Justin King just shat himself to his complete dismay and for no apparent reason…

Pimp it...
…along the lines of this (but in Blue and White, of course).

Unless MissSt can pull the upset...which would be AWESOME!
I bleed Blue and White.
