FIRST...
So I just went to bed 3-and-a-half hours ago…woke up and realized there’s a game today and now I’m too excited to fall back asleep. God I love Penn State football. Here’s hoping for a win that launches a BCS bid.
Can’t wait ‘til 3:30….Let’s Go State!

I just watched Lock Stock for the first time in like 4 years. It’s way better than Gameday and for those of you with netflix you can start to stream it now and finish before GOtC 2009.

special teams
if Devon Smith or J. Brown does not return kicks today that will be a big mistake
by pstaternj on Nov 21, 2009 9:49 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
if not at the beginning of the game, at least once
i’d like to hope that they’d be ready to return punts by the bowl game

Smith was cutting classes
Doubt you’ll see him in any substantial role.

J.Brown should still have a shot though.
He won’t, but he should.

Royster as the #5 RB prospect though.

like the 1 inerception he has thrown in a total of 2 games against OSU
or the 2 picks he threw in the last 3 minutes of desperation against USC in the rose bowl?
if he said he is a INT machine against iowa, i would be inclined to believe him

I don't care that he picked us to lose
Just his reasoning makes no sense. It’s like people who are picking us to only score 10 points. There is no reason to think that will happen.

i basically feel the same way
i just wanted to show statistically his inaccuracy

Only if we lose
If we win, it’ll just be remembered as a win over a 6-6 Sparty team. Just like the Wisconsin game last year. Or the Michigan game last year. Or Illinois both years (to some extent).

This is a big game
in the sense that they can separate themselves from some of the teams in the past that went to MSU and blew it, like ‘97 & 99. I personally would like to see them back up last year’s Rose Bowl season with another 10-win season and possible BCS bowl. When’s the last time we had back-to-back 10 win seasons?

Gameday Notes so far....
Talking about coaches that are underpaid: They mentioned some coach getting paid like $900,000….. Doesn’t Joe get like…. $512,000?
and i LOVE the sign…. “If you can read this sign, you didn’t go to ASU” hahaha

His base salary is around $500,000
But i think last year he actually got paid right over a millie by penn state with bonuses and everything else included in the number. either way he should be mentioned on the list he has what like 4 coach of the year awards

I thought that over $1mil number included the money for the radio appearance
and nike money and on and on. Not sure If the school counts for all of that.

JoePa's glasses.
Yes, that’s why Penn State will get a BCS bid.
Boise State’s got a big matchup coming up with……..Nevada. Ridiculous.

Corso just picked the Noles to win 9 or 10 games next year
is he crazier than Holtz?

Wedding today.
Going to be able to watch a quarter or so, then I will have to go radio silence to watch the rest when I get back

I see your wedding
And I raise you a wife’s great aunt’s 90th birthday party. Probably won’t see any of the game.

You can't raise me once you call.
I guess you are stick with also just a wedding.
by PSUinBOSSton on Nov 21, 2009 11:27 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm lost
Clearly I’m not a gambler.
Ok how about this? I have to go to my wife’s great aunt’s 90th birthday party and will probably miss the game. That is worse than a wedding.
Boom!
by speedomike on Nov 21, 2009 11:46 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Fixed.
Yeah, I won’t argue with that. But I will say that it is the wife’s sort of distant relative and it won’t be fun.

Meh, I don't buy into the tOSU chokes in big games.
I actually think there is a good shot for a Rose Bowl win for the conference this year.

tOSU is using their “throw back” jerseys. Today’s game is now Michigan vs the Atlanta Falcons.
