It's a lose-lose no matter what
If we win, they’re not that good, if we lose, we lost to a horrible team.
Ugly win.
We want them ranked when we play them, but we want them to have vulnerabilities that we can exploit. So…root for an ugly, close game.

Dude
When you root for an OSU win, you’re always rooting for an ugly win. That’s how they play.

I know this is the "hate on Pryor" blog
but that was a strong run, particularly the stiff arm. But he did look like a pansy when he jumped into the endzone.
He’s afraid of contact, clearly, but the kid can run in the open field when he keeps his eyes downfield….which sounds like a good description of a wide receiver..
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
Why would you say
we hate on him? Facts don’t lie.

there actually is a middle ground between

I’m a penn state alum and fan, but I don’t think that requires me to blindly denigrate everything that has to do with ohio state or other big ten teams.

Take it easy, hoss.
Sure, I think most people here would say he’s a fine athlete, but you have to understand the audience here.

Pryor is a fine athlete, but a terrible QB and I get frustrated by announcers hyping him
I do not “irrationally hate on him” or something.

that's clear
they’re awful; they make so many mistakes…its difficult to watch
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
I forgot they still do the pre-game show with Steve Jones and Jack Ham
during away games, and I always miss it at home because I’m tailgating, I’m listening to it now which is far more interesting than any game on TV right now.

If OSU beats Minny
by more than PSU did, is Penn St’s win still more impressive?

In the second half
PSU was overall much more dominant over Minny. Plus, PSU didn’t need stupid turnovers to win.

i dont see why we need to switch it up

I can't wait to see the highlights
of this OSU game. How much you want to be all they show is the good stuff that TP does, like running 20 yards out of the pocket, launching a bomb downfield, against Varsity-level Minnesota defense. Oh, wait, this isn’t Xbox?

They're actually a lot of fun even if you're not a wrestling fan
An old friend of my Dad’s works for the WWE (it was WWF at the time I’m not sure if he’s still working there) I think as a sound guy. They came to philly around 2001 and my Dad’s friend invited us to get a behind the scenes tour, which was incredible. And it was cool even though I hadn’t watched wrestling for a few years, and wasn’t a fan anymore. They always put on a good show, even if you’re not interested like I wasn’t at the time. There’s a ton of pyrotechnics, which are always entertaining, just based on how many different things they can do with explosives . My favorite memory was that at that time Hulk Hogan was actually on the show (I don’t know why he came back), but he was wrestling at the show we got to go too, which was cool to see.
So have fun, it’s a good time.
Cool picture..
I met Randy “Macho Man” Savage at the Greater Pittsburgh Airport one time. I really had noticed “Miss Elizabeth”, his wife and “manager”. She was hot. Then, I turned around and Randy was right behind me in line. What an ugly, huge man. he actually played minor league baseball prior to getting into wrestling.
