Quarless
Apparently Quarless didn’t have a part with the festivities held at the Nittany Apartments and will dress for the game. That’s the rumor at least.

Senior Leadership
Time for the seniors to step up in lieu of the dope nonsense this week. Derrick Williams should go berzerk today running and catching. Expect to see true Spread today and Clark to rush for 50-75 yards.

Mark Rubin
Getting some good coverage on College Gameday. Apparently he was an excellent swimmer in high school, beat Phelps a few times (my guess is in relays, but who knows) and won several state championships.

Also,
Excellent rant by Herbstreit about the off-field problems.

agreed
Good take on the problems; less Paterno-bashing and more player accountability.

You're not going to embarrass
any football players with comments in an online forum. He just called them out in front of their peers, and that’s going to hurt later tonight regardless of the result of today’s game.

I totally agree....
All I’m saying is that it was just nice to here something other than the same tired complaints about how Paterno has lost control….yadda yadda yadda

short synopsis
He essentially called out the three guys suspended for their ignorant behavior, putting a legendary coach in such a tight situation without realizing that the entire media has their eyes focused on the PSU blotter right now, and said somebody needs to stand up in the locker room and take charge.

Basically, he dumped it on the players.
After referencing the OTL piece (which followed Fowler saying that most of the legal infractions have been alcohol offenses), Herbie dumped the recent incident on the players. Where’s the leadership, where’ the accountability, etc. Wondered how these players could constantly keep disgracing their legendary coach.
It was a nice concession from the GameDay crew in light of the OTL business, but it missed the obvious point that the legendary coach allowed the situation to get this far.

Being a late game today

When Rubin switched from offense to defense

I have his old jersey.

Here's to...
Illinois losing!! That would be great if they lost. Awful for the Big Ten, but still, shows us what we will need to do to beat them.

Needs a few student double secret insider info about PSU football players and their everday lives. It could kinda be like Nittany Notes. A student signs up for a particular player(s) that they are in class with and give weekly updates on rumors and stuff.
I know sounds kinda sick. But I’d read it and enjoy it. Ya just would have to TIFWIW.
As a betting man how can you not bet the over is this game… I’m thinking 41-24 PSU.

looks like UPSET DAY
We better watch out it looks like an Upset Day…or at least a hard day to win. None of the good teams look good today.

Ugly, ugly day for the conference so far.
Hope it’s not a foreshadowing for this afternoon.
Rain seems to be staying away for now.

Ohio is showing something
Ohio is showing how to beat Ohio State. Man if Ohio State loses now it will really make the conference look bad.

Running between the tackles
That’s how you have to go after them. And I’m sorry, but Laurinaitis fucking sucks. He was blown out of the play on Ohio’s TD run by a really weak block. Really weak.
Nice punt by Ohio there.

I think
OSU might get crushed next week at USC…
I will say that “lower level” team like Ohio U, BG, and other MAC school are lightyears better today than ten years ago. Guys that would be backups at PSU in the 90’s now start there, these players don’t stink.

It was sickening
to hear that clown on ESPN praising Laura. It’s easy to avoid blocks when the guy doesn’t try to block you!
Will the real Derrick Williams please stand up?
by ReadingRambler on Sep 6, 2008 2:39 PM EDT 0 recs
Oh look...
…another tipped ball to Laura, who intercepts it. Let someone else do the heavy lifting, and take all the credit.

So...
our defense smokes a ton of weed? I thought the student claims of a hundred pounds of weed were ridiculous, but I think “a hundred pounds” was just shorthand for “a lot.”
I was defending these guys for a while, but whoever had anything to do with this…At least one of the guys who lived there is a complete idiot.
I agree with what Herbstreit said about the need for player accountability. Player leaders need to step up and explain that there’s a mission…the fact that they evidently have not already makes me dubious about this team’s prospects.

when my coach caught us
when the coach caught us he worked us like crazy. I don’t think I have ever done so many push-ups and sprints after getting caught drinking one night. I knew never to do it again. I really feel like the leaders should step up and make the kids do stuff like that. Work them so hard and beat it out of them. When they get tired who cares work them harder.

Temple trying to hang on in the rain...
UConn just missed a long FG attempt, tied 6-6 with 2+ minutes left. Overtime in Philly?
Also, they have to be chewing up the field before tomorrow’s Eagles game.
