In an unrelated story, I'm getting my new Dish Network dish wired up as we speak.  THats 55 bucks comcast isnt getting as a result of their stubbornness over the BTN. I'm getting an extra 130 channels and a DVR for approximately the same price I was paying for Comcast.  I don't know if I could possibly watch all those channels, but it really makes you wonder how the cable company and the dish company can be that far apart in terms of channels for mostly the same price.  I know the dish sometimes goes out in a storm, but from what I've heard, its like once or twice a year.  Thats a risk I, and I figure most people, would be willing to take.  Adios Comcast.  Thanks for all the years of ripping us off.

Any suggestions/help might be better than watching these little stick figures make layups.

B.  The calls are so subjective.  It is like holding on a sweep play in football.

but great win nonetheless

Man, I hope this is a sign of things to come.

I didn't see the game; I'm genuinely curious. I just can't think of any way that's possible. 50 free throws in regulation just shouldn't happen, period, even with the hackfest that happens in the final minute. The only other time I've ever seen it come close was a game when the refs called fouls for breathing on the guy with the ball (MSU-Oklahoma 2003), and neither team got to 50 even in OT.

Right after the game, I flipped over to the Nightly Sports Call in Pittsburgh, and they opened the show with Pitt and Pens highlights.  THat was fine, but then they had the audacity to talk about Pitt women and Duquesne without even mentioning PSU's huge win.  I don't call these shows often, but that ticked me off.  I got through and said "Wow, what a great night?  Pens win, Pitt loses, and PSU takes down the #7 team in the land".  The guy laughed, but I wasn't worried about him.  My message got out there to all the yinzrs and thats all that matters.

What a night State, way to go!

P.S. the upset of Illinois in 2006 was also on Super Bowl Eve.

Another question is how much slack this victory gave Ed?

Huge for Ed, he deserves it after everything he has been through over the past few years.

Hopefully this means hes got things on track and we won't be looking for another coach in a few years, because we all know PSU wouldn't dish out the cash for anyone good. The athletic department just got lucky with DeChellis, "Oh yea I remember he went here and used to coach, let's hire him." Fortunately hes a good guy and a solid coach and let's hope this is the start to some good luck for DeChellis and the rest of team.
