Penn St. Nittany Lions at Iowa Hawkeyes, Nov 8, 2008 3:30 PM EST
Cuz Life's a Hustle, baby
Let's have a little fun with the open thread today. If you see a comment that makes you laugh or you think the poster makes a particularly interesting point or offers some good analysis, give the comment a recommendation. After the game we'll highlight some of them in a front page post (probably on Sunday).

Late breaking photo, apparently it is going to snow for the game, and Joe and Kirk are not getting along.
I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?

Texas does suck. Beyond the hurricanes, longhorns, and cowboys they don’t even show good football games.

Yeah this blows
When you look at the ESPN coverage map the entire state of Texas is getting the PSU game. Except a tiny bit of blue on the gulf coast that will have to be subjected to the craptastic Florida State-Clemson game. That’s me.
And friggin’ ESPN2 is covering the Nationwide Series.

I use these sites to listen:
I have Directv and use a program called Tversity accessed through my HR20-100 (the DVR) to sync up the audio and the game. You will need to pause the game for a few seconds to sync it, but it’s much better to listen to Steve Jones and Jack Hamm. I don’t know if that helps anyone, but if you know what I’m referring to, add these stations to the internet audio section and enjoy!
I know that you can’t just play all of these links in a browser either. I have them specifically for my setup.

Different places to get game feed
This site usually has a live video stream of the Penn State game linked. It doesn’t right now but I would check back closer to game time. I have used this site a number of times to watch games. (You can also watch today’s Bucknell game if you like)
This is the best place to get notes on radio feeds.

Weather
The one thing that has me worried. Anyone have any guesses as to how this will affect our gameplan? Is this going to be Slip N Slide part 2? Because if it is that would have me questioning this game. We clearly left some points behind at Purdue, I don’t want to see that again in what might be a dogfight. The one consoling stat I have is that Illinois sacked Stanzi 6 times. We should have nothing less than that if we want to win, and I think our guys up front can do it.

It's pretty simple
His runs look great against teams that can’t stop it.
His ability to break tackles looks great against teams that can’t tackle.
His deep balls/jump balls/arm punts look great against teams with bad secondaries.
And of course…
His escapability looks AMAZING against anyone, because OSU doesn’t get called for holding.

Georgia Losing
Of course it’s because they’re actually not very good at all, but we’ll just hear it’s because the SEC is so gosh darn deep!! But UM beating Minny means the B10 sucks…

The SEC line
Well, Georgia just doesn’t care anymore since they are out of the national title hunt now. That’s what the SEC always says when their teams tank in their bowl games.
