Saturday Open Thread


Nittanylion_medium

Here is an open thread for discussing the games today. I'll throw up a thread later on for the men's basketball game at 6 PM tonight. If you can tear yourself away from football, the game against Temple will be televised on the Big Ten Network.

Loving the "Sacks In The City" sign on Gameday

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s stupid southern fratboy haircuts (even though I have no particular, individual hate for stupidity, the south, fraternities, or haircuts).

As a subject matter expert

I can verify that OE800 indeed builds strength (while simultaneously decreasing judgment).

...and a D2 playoff team on ESPN

featuring California(Pa.)

(Strangely enough, the first school that sent me a letter for football when I was in high school. And I was awful.)

ESPN2 announcer: "Elements will be a factor here..."

Yes, it’s cold and windy in western PA today. Unfortunately, the opponent is the University of Minn.-Duluth, who thinks this weather is downright fucking tropical.

Hurray crappy early slate of games!

It gave me a positive outlook when I realized I had to come into work right now to finish off some things. The ol’ “well, at least I won’t be missing anything worthwhile” line.

Hey, you love free music!

A few weeks ago, I posted a FanPost asking you to vote for my friend’s band in an online contest with a $5,000 reward. Well, they won. Your reward: for a limited time, their entire album for free.

http://www.reverbnation.com/theloveblisters

Just click on the down-arrow in the media player and the transfers will start.

The drummer is a Hazleton native, holder of a PSU graduate degree (engineering), and played in a much, much worse band with me at PSU in the mid-90’s. His current band is in Phoenix, and the new album is described as “…a collection of ’70s-ish pop songs that simultaneously channel the aesthetic of Pet Sounds along with the crooning sensibility of Paul Simon and Van Morrison, with a healthy dash of ELO and occasional glam rock touches in the vein of T. Rex.” So if you’re into that, enjoy!

Army Navy Game

Anyone take notice of the Army jerseys, they are really really sweet looking, especially the helmets!

by MillerTime89 on Dec 6, 2008 1:15 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

really nice

I love watching this game… I am an Air Force vet but you gotta hand it to army/navy for their rivalry. Sad part is that most people don’t realize how much goes into that rivalry and what it means to be part of it

Saw on the news this morning

Apparently on the day of the game the cadets run the game ball up from Anapolis to Philadelphia. That’s 125 miles! On the day of the game! They hand it off from team to team like the Olympic torch, but still. That’s amazing.

Army does the same thing running the ball from base or something, and they run it 137 miles!

by BSD on Dec 6, 2008 2:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

My bad

Should have said the Midshipmen run from Anapolis. Army is the Cadets.

by BSD on Dec 6, 2008 2:25 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

awesome!

I love the Army Navy game.

Another thing I love about this game: the lack of eyeblack messaging, gold teeff, and hair hanging out of the back of helmets. Kinda like us at Penn State!

Oh... one more thing...

I am guessing the Army may run it from West Point but I am not sure

by TheMightyErik on Dec 6, 2008 2:34 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I think you're right.

I didn’t quite catch it, but it may have been West Point. I know they said 137 miles though for the Cadets. Seems to me West Point is further than that from Philly. But maybe not.

by BSD on Dec 6, 2008 2:48 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Great Game

to go to . . . although lately, Navy’s been blowing out Army.

But the walk on of the cadets/midshipmen, the President switching sides at halftime, the flyovers, etc.

Really something to see. And it’s usually in Philly. I recommend it highly.

Navy has a great stadium to watch a game as well and Annapolis is a great town to spend a weekend in.

I’ve never been to West Point but I imagine that’s a great place to see a game and to tour as well.

by CDRS on Dec 6, 2008 4:20 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

thanks and glad you attended one (or more) of them

I am obviously a big fan of our kids in uniform (I used to be one) and the rivalry has no real animosity to it and is filled with mutual respect for one another. Watching them all gather after the game and pay respect to the cadets while taking turns listening to each other’s alma maters being played is awesome.

Just a note: This holiday season if you are out traveling and you see a kid in uniform just say a little ‘thank you for your service’. You’d be surprised how little they hear that. When I see a soldier in the Starbucks in my airport I always buy their coffee and tell them thanks and you have no idea how much that means to them. I know what it was like to live dollar to dollar while willing to sacrifice so much and it means worlds to them when someone thanks them for it.

3:00 p.m. update

The appetizers are not filling. The only two competitive games are the ACC and C-USA championship:

VT 14, BC 7 13:56 3rd
ECU 24, Tulsa 17 14:48 4th

Things start getting very interesting at 4:00 p.m. when the SEC Championship kicks off, with USC-UCLA slated for 4:30 p.m. eastern.

Gators TD

Bama needs to improve on their BBDS defense. The D-Line did too much there to allow an easy pitch-catch TD like that.

DId answer, actually...

gave me something to do while at work earlier today.

Short answer – no. They have an ACHA D2 team, and our D1 team doesn’t usually play D2 teams (lack of open space on the schedule and our coach’s desire to have a tougher regular season schedule).

Best for now...

ACHA Website
D1 Standings
D2 Standings

Since I did stats for the Icers, I used to have to update the ACHA site to have all the records/stats for them. It was/is such a shitty website, but it gets the job done for the majority of what you’ll be looking for.

What’d I miss so far?

I spent all morning hanging curtains. Once I had them up the wife didn’t like them because they were wrinkled. So I had to take them down so she could iron them. Then I put them back up again.

After lunch I started putting up the Christmas tree. Then I realized half of my lights didn’t work. So that was a trip to Target and Home Depot. So then I watched the basketball game on and off while trying to hang lights and watch the kids. That game sucked donkey balls.

I just now got a chance to sit down and I feel like I’m going to fall asleep. But I have to put kid #2 to bed in a minute.

This Big XII game is a joke. Missouri can’t tackle. They just hit guys with their shoulder and hope he goes down. I liked the play where Oklahoma rushed just two guys and still got the sack.

for the Air Force and didn’t do it… those dudes were a different breed and it wasn’t what I thought was best for me, at the time. I never regret not doing it, but qualifying for it is something I still pat myself on the back for

I'm trying to work my way into the Physicians Assastant program

The main reason for me going SF is I’ll get most of my pre-req credits in training and they seem to take the SF over others.

yes sir...

Pararescue woulda done that, for me… combat control had some electronics, but not too much, and that is what my life has always been around. I really hope you knock it out of the park, man. Sorry about the Army / Navy game. There really aren’t any losers when it comes to the forces, though. We all come out better people, IMHO

You know who scheduled it right?

Cincinnati. Go 10-2 on the season, win the Big East, clinch the spot in the BCS bowls, and then finish the season by going to play Hawaii. In the beginning of December. With nothing on the line. Can’t think it gets much better for those boys right now.

Wasn't it RUTS the other day

talkin something about roller derby, an ex that played or something? I have never been to a roller derby event, but may have to seek something like that out this offseason. Would also like to see an MMA event live sometime. Oh, and yeah, would kinda also like to see lion attack in the rose bowl.

It was indeed me

And it wasn’t an ex, it’s the current. She only did it for a little while and wasn’t that great, but she loved it.

Harrisburg has a team. Lancaster has a team. Most weird semi-podunk city has a team where semi-gothy hipster girls come together to throw elbows at other girls.

I might shoot myself

Bob Davie on prospective OU-Florida MNC game: “Maybe the greatest matchup I’ve ever seen, on paper.”

But wait, I thought the 2006 Rose Bowl was the GREATEST GAME EVER?

They’re going to hype this game until I go crazy, then when Florida crushes OU because OU’s defense stinks, the SEC hype will make me buy a gun which I will use to shoot myself.

Damn you Iowa!

I’m going to analyze (Thanks, Erik) Nikki Meyer until I feel better.

As if living in El Paso wasn’t already bad enough, I just saw that Pitt has accepted a bid to the Sun Bowl. Now I’m going to have to deal with a bunch of D-bags over the holidays.

Then again as well as Pitt travels I doubt I’ll encounter one of the 10 fans who make the trip.
