"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
LMAO!!!!
love the pic

This game
feels like an afternoon nap. They gotta wake the hell up.

For the love of all that is holy
We have got to do something unexpected on 3rd down and short.

55 yards of offense, that is just flat out awful. Go figure I have to get new tires on my car and I come back to this crap.
Can ESPN
Please time the commercials better? We keep missing the beginning of every drive because of this crap.

Someone has to tackle Kafka
We’re just letting him waltz through us
For the love of Zug
RELAX until it gets very bad. Slow start is typical on the road. Everyone was doom and gloom last week too, and we ended up alright.
That was the first 5 minutes.
This is the entire first half.
How is Kafka different from Forcier?
It seems like we should be keeping with the same gameplan as last weekend.
You would think
It’s not like we even have to worry about Brandon Minor or anything. They have one player that has two dimensions. Take him out of the game.

WHAT THE ZUG WAS THAT?!?!

He was waaayyyy behind the line of scrimmage, it's legal

Wow, we are in deep shit
That’s a bad omen right there, should’ve taken him down on that muffled punt.

Not to mention..
This is the 2nd time we’ve fucked up after getting a stop on 3rd down.

Gotta be a flag
People down field

not a penalty
the pass was completed behind the line of scrimmage

Usually the center snaps it and he just heads down field,
Other linemen should have been downfield. I gotta believe the refs blew that one.

Vince Lombardi
we have to stop them here
i’m not panicing…just annoyed
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
Thankfully...
(crosses fingers) theyve got a little bit of field to go.
Can it just be halftime yet? We’ve shown to be capable of making adjustments.
Chris Berman
From NutriSystem to Applebee’s. Great choice.
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
Another thing...
Why the fuck are we still allowing them to throw those 5-10 yard passes over the middle? Don’t you think Bradley would’ve adjusted to this shit by now?
http://www.happyhourvalley.com/
We've screwed up two 3rd and ones
looked like a grade school team
Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.
Vince Lombardi
why is the backup in?

Won't matter unless...
We can stop giving up those passes over the middle and those QB draws…
HOLY CRAP! We finally stopped one over the middle!!1

Ill beating the Wolves

ok, 3rd down
we must stop them here

How did Kafka get 'dinged'?
We haven’t touched him all day
got hurt going over the yard line
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
Fitz is trying to 'press his luck'
Eventually he’s gonna hit a whammy if he doesn’t stick Kafka back in.

I think we need to take a few strikes downfield
We’re playing retardedly conservative
we're just not executing. Has nothing to do with conservative.

Can we get a 94-yard scoring drive going here?
Against this juggernaut of a Northwestern defense? sarcasm

No, passing on 3rd and 2 when
you should be able to get 2 yards against this D is stupid.

I'm always fearful that it's going to be offensive
Just my paranoia, again
we seem to be having that kind of luck today too.

Wow, what is up with Michigan?
They seemed to be handling Illinois okay, now they’re down?

Drake a good catch

Okay, now can we not run it up the middle 3 times?
Just toss it in the endzone gently please
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
He's been going with the salute to fist pump combination this year.
I didn’t see it, but he’s clearly in the zone right now, too focused for the pump
That's more like it...
94-yard TD drive, if that doesn’t shift the momentum in our favor, then I don’t know what else will.
http://www.happyhourvalley.com/
Really?
I know we had a couple long ones, but that’s good to hear, sounds like they got their rhythm, now for the defense to step it up…
Drake made a good run after the catch

that just makes me smile everytime

Astorino... WTF?
Astorino blew the tackle

we’re doing just fine in that area. Isn’t it evident on the field?
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will-Sam Cooke

This is demoralizing
They're wasting their time with designed runs
Just line up in the ‘I’ and send the QB running
they finally did something right

YES BLOCKED

Odrick got it

Odrick??
I think it was him. Would’ve been even more awesome if he blocked it with his body, Terence Cody-style

This was very un-JoePa like
To come out throwing the ball like that with PSU starting at their own 20. Unfortunately, this might backfire on us, 37 secs and 1 timeout for NW to work with

Ugh... too much time left.
We won’t be winning at the half
to say the least
disappointing half
We are not normal...WE are Legends...We are PENN STATE!

That's definitely saying the least
The adjectives “craptacular” and “shitastic” come to mind to describe the half
blah

Need to run down to Dicks and get a pair of gloves for Zug
A win over Pitt is like kissing your sister
Thankfully...
we get the ball back to start. Let the O go out there and hopefully do their thing and settle things down.
Penn State
looks completely confused as to WTF is happening

Vince Lombardi
i think we could be up much more
if not for 2 catches by zug, two forth downs,
we just got to tighten up

Can the BSD staff grade..
the special teams lower than an F?

Worst 1st half defensive performance of the season
…and yet we’re still only down three.
I think jNW has given us it’s best shot. We’ve played about as bad as we can. We’re obviously looking ahead to next week. Time to get some adjustments, like maybe keeping a spying LB closer to the line of scrimmage.
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
how about adding another DB and going..
with one LB?

I am not worried
Disappointed, but not worried. If we can’t beat NW without their starting QB then we don’t deserve the Motor City Bowl
Really, everyone needs to chill
We’re down by 3 pts, and were moving the ball very well on offense (most of the time, anyway) and we’re getting the ball back on the next play.
i like you
you’re like a big ray of sunshine

Hey, I'm not saying or guarateeing a win
just need everybody to relax, otherwise I start panicking which is not a good thing
Anyene think they'll let GERG go at the end of this season?
I’m hoping not, but…
Let's not forget
Northwestern also left 3 more points on the field, they could be up 6 instead of 3
http://www.happyhourvalley.com/
We get no help
from our complete lack of support from the special teams side of the game. Take away one return from the Mich. game and ko returns have been horrible. We’ve barely returned any punts this year, A catch is a catch, great. Oh wait, doesn’t help when it’s at the 9 yard line.
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will-Sam Cooke
HA HA
Michigan sucks
"Is that right?" Joe answered. "That’s not a problem. But you’ve got a problem. You don’t relate to me. And that’s a big problem."
Pretty awesome to watch
Makes me feel better about our defensive performance in the first half. I don’t see Michigan firing GERG after this year though, they’ll be going to their 3rd DC in as many years otherwise. I feel lack of defensive talent has a lot to do with their issues as well.
