in all seriousness, Charlie Weis is simply not a good coach
and where are the props to Navy’s coach?
+1 for correct spelling
"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."
I am just going to have to assume that is the correct spellilng.
Kudos to you sir! I took German — that many consonants is frightening to me.

How much you wanna bet I can throw a football over them mountains? Yeah.
Deus nobiscum, quis contra?
OK
Got some calls to go our way, but way too much turtling on the play calling. OSU blowing up a lot of plays, but those 3 half yard and a cloud of dust plays were weak.
TP isn’t doing much of anything, though, so it looks like a nail-biter down to the wire. I pity the neutral fan watching this. The defensive mistakes, which are few, aren’t being capitalized upon.
Totally disagree.
If you subtract the sack, we are averaging 3.5 yards a carry. Not world beating, but if you do that every carry they will never stop us. You know what kills drives? A sub 50% completion percentage. We have not run the ball enough. Yes, you need to pass some to open things up, but we are just getting beat in many aspects. I don’t blame the playcalling at all. Not even a tenth as much as I blame Heyward.
Was anybody watching CBS just now?
OMG
“Hey what’s that”
“That’s the money Urban could be saving by not criticizing the refs.”
Then the one dude starts singing the “somebody’s watching me” song. Wow.
That
is awesome.
"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."
I feel good
Their offense hasn’t impressed me. Our special teams gave them that touchdown. No more of that, please.

someone on Tempe said they'd be killing us if they had a good offense
by Mr. Rosewater on Nov 7, 2009 5:23 PM EST up reply actions
and we'd be killing them if we had a good offense
their point?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 5:24 PM EST up reply actions
or more accurately, a good special teams
so let’s recap: they need to improve their offense to be killing us, we just need to improve our special teams.

Hands down... most of the time.

Jeez ESPN
No one cares about Horse Racing THAT much.
Well last week we came out in the second half rocking
different situation, I know, but I still think we make the right adjustments and prevail.
WE ARE!!
I'm pretty sure neither of us were original ;-)

At least Muse is a whole lot better than that lame DMB song
Although Between this and the new V series, that song is getting overplayed. It was already in heavy rotation on my iPod before TV caught on.

you need to comment more. It makes me feel better

he can't because he watches the game like a hawk
and takes notes so he can do his good analysis later
this blog has made PSU football a job
hmm, can you be our surrogate Mike?
maybe he can just shout comments to you? though your commentary is sufficient enough
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 5:31 PM EST up reply actions
Occasionally I do make comments that he says verbally first
I’m a little stressed right now, this game is too nervewracking. So I had to do something to take my mind off it just a bit. I built a shoe organizer.
w....wow
let’s sing a song.

"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."
Why don't we ever run on first down anymore?
2nd and 17 is a killer. This whole sack/incompletion on first down, run on 2nd is garbage.
Best I've got is Royster underneath
so yeah, missed just a bit on that one.

it looked like we had a WR out in left center
but that would have been short by at least 5 yards

Clark missed an INT there

Wow
Maybe O$U’s special teams are as bad as ours
"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."
Not really
They’re just making stupid mistakes, but they can break one on us, which is something I really think we can’t say about our special teams.

ENOUGH WITH THE OHIO-PA CROSSOVER STORY ALREADY
Jeez. Find something else to talk about. I hear Royster played lacrosse…

Zug's sister plays field hockey?
and scored 2 goals the same day he scored 3 TDs against Michigan? And she texted him before the game to tell him?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 7, 2009 5:35 PM EST up reply actions
Is that like lacrosse?
Isn’t ABC/ESPN contractually obligated to show the stat about the number of coaching changes since JoePa took the reins? Did I miss it?

Wow, look what happens when you run on 1st down.
2nd and 4. Imagine all the things you could do with 2nd and 4.
I'll admit O$U does have a good gameplan
Pryor can’t arm punt it if you don’t let him throw the ball.
Yeah, he got blown up on that series.
Tell Mike if he has sideline contacts to tell them to run the football.
A holding penalty like his
is an easy way to the bench
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

i feel like
they are holding a lot
We are not normal...WE are Legends...We are PENN STATE!
by hawaiipennstatefan on Nov 7, 2009 5:38 PM EST reply actions
it looks that way because our defense is tired.
That’s what happens when you run the football.
and your offense can't stay on the field

20 passes called 20 runs called (2 sacks called as passes count as runs).
But we are getting crushed in the pocket. Crushed. The incompletions and sacks have been killer. And if you are going to run, why do it on 3rd and long every time. I guess I am just not happy with how this game is being called.
makes sense

I never understood these rankings
The game is always sold out, yet we set the 2nd best attendance record 3 or 4 times in 05.

Need to change the cleats
"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."
That was a terrible playcall.

we need a punter

The O line is again being exposed
The pocket keeps collapsing like a shotgun shack during a hurricane in Haiti. Heyward is looking a bit like Claiborne (or whatever the Iowa guy’s name is)
"Never mistake motion for action." - Ernest Hemingway
offensive ineptitude...
does not allow PSU to flip the field. OSU is going to get a score simply b/c the offensive only has to go 25 yards to be in scoring position.
Never mistake effort for achievement.
Hush!
remember all the criticism over last year’s final score? that’s what happens when your teams know how to play Defense. (Big 12…looking at you here…)
814 area code native
I don't care what the score is if PSU wins..
10-7 means the offensive didn’t show up/was out manned and the special teams lost the game.

Mike says
the O-line has to play better. This 2 yrds up the middle every play is falling right into Sweatervest’s trap.
ALLRIGHT! GOOD FIELD POSITION!!

I give Clark points for not trying to force that pass there.
But still, we gotta get something on offense.

F***.

that wasn't just Sukay's fault
Both O$U’s WR’s on that side were WIDE open.
Pryor just had to choose which one to throw to.
"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."

Need O-line to block, WR's to get open or Clark to make faster decisions.
Any of those would be nice please.

They came to play against us, we didn’t.
I just want to score one more time to make it closer. And I"m going to hurl next week when OSU beats Iowa.

This team has a very fragile psyche.
I’m not sure they know how to handle adversity.
"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."
This
No offense to them but they really seem to give up. Except at NU.
Let’s get this done.
Let's not lay down now.
Ohio State is capitalizing on all our relative weaknesses. But we can still do this.
It seems like we're playing to see of OSU beats themselves.
Which is great, but what if they don’t?
Deus nobiscum, quis contra?
They're taking too long, if that's the case
"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."
No turnovers yet. Still.
I’m pretty sure OSU has no turnovers only against Toledo and NM State
