Harris Poll Voter Thinks Penn State is Undefeated

Sadly these are the type of people who decided who plays for the national title.  Pat Quinn, an 80 year old who retired from Oklahoma States sports information department 22 years ago and Harris voter replied the following when asked this weekend about the national title:

I think Alabama and Penn State will probably play for the national championship.  They’re the only undefeated teams, aren’t they?

When informed of Penn States loss, he replied.

Oh well, those Big Ten teams have a lot of votes.

How is this possible?  How can you let people who follow football as casually as this guy decided the national championship?

Here is a link to the article.

The system is flawless, this is all a lie, a playoff would ruin college football forever

We would all watch women roller derbie instead.

We just needed a couple players, a couple people to buy in to the fact and we were able to do it. --A.Q. Shipley

My lovely ladyfriend

Played a little roller derby down here in Harrisburg. And many of those girls are hot.

(Many, of course, are not.)

Harrisburg Area Roller Derby?

It’s seriously called ’H.A.R.D."?

"Harris Poll Voter Thinks Penn State is Undefeated"

So what? We are undefeated.

When informed of Penn States loss, he replied.

What loss?! I hope you’re not one of those people who says we lost to Iowa – a team we haven’t played in years. I’m getting tired of that.

Not Pat Quinn

My comment was directed at RR. Whether it’s dementia or denial, having something to keep you happy is a good thing.

It's called REALITY

This whole “Iowa beats Penn State” thing is just a fantasy created by The Great Hawkeye Conspiracy.

Damned camera angles...

It looked like the field goal at the end of the game went through the uprights. Everyone knows it just popped up in the air and fell straight down. Does anyone have spare tix to Miami?

everyone knows that Ohio and Iowa are fake states

you aren’t allowed to have three syllables and only one consonant, it is an automatic disqualification. Therefore I move for that loss to be stricken from our record, and for the title “co-champion” to be removed from O$U.
