Well, before the year I said this had the look of a 10-2 team. And it looks like that's what we're going to get. More analysis at a later date, but for now there will be drinking. Lots of it.
The Indiana game can't get here soon enough.

It looks that way, yes.
But Indiana has played some tough games, and Sparty. We better not sleep on either.
IU has been in a lot of games
They just can’t seem to close. You never know what MSU team will show up.

Even if we do make it to the Outback Bowl, it won't be LSU we're playing
Unless I’m missing something, Alabama and Florida will be in BCS games, and that puts LSU in the Capital One bowl, and us playing Georgia in the Outback (as long as things stay the way they are now, of course). Maybe Auburn even, if they beat Georgia, but not LSU.
Our O-line

There is no way the Big 10 will get 2 BCS bowls
The Big East is a better conference this year. Sad but true. Iowa will not get Florida/Alabama, and that is for the best. They will send both TCU and Boise State before sending 2 Big 10 teams.

Not a chance
Cincy is undefeated, but hasn’t even played the top teams in their conference. Pitt lost to NC State, one of the worst teams in the ACC, and WVU lost to Auburn, and SEC also-ran. They look decent because they schedule their OOC about as bad as the B10, and have more OOC games.

Our kick/punt return schemes are screwing us up royally. Only one guy can catch a ball. We could have one more guy blocking if they both didn’t try and catch the ball, which nearly caused us to lose a fumble in this game. ONE RETURN MAN.

The worst part about the loss
It was an arm punt that Sukay wasn’t athletic enough to knock down that broke the game open. It was accurate, yes, but so much air under that ball it was unreal the safety had no play on it.
he had a play
he went for the pick, because he’s a bad football player.

It was Cover 2 zone
The two receivers both ran flies, more or less, and AJ moved back towards his underneath assignment while Sukay had to choose between the inside receiver or the outside. Damned if he did, damned if he didn’t.
With Cover 3, the deep sideline and deep middle would’ve been covered by separate defenders.

QB14 vs DC17
I think there have been more highs with DC17 than QB14. I thought that last year Clark was a bit iffy. I think this year he has played well. He didn’t have it going against Iowa, and they kept calling passing plays. I blame that loss on playcalling/special teams. I was at the game, so I didn’t see any sideline shots but Clark seemed to play with poise, which is the best you could ask for. I am scratching my head over what happened to Moye. The INT last night was just a great play by the OSU D.

My point is that Clark might be a little better, but he’s painfully overrated by the Penn State faithful that it feels like he’s much worse. When Morelli is publicly called a bum and booed, sure, he deserved it, but you knew what you were getting. Clark might be the most loved player on this team, and he hasn’t backed it up.

That’s the takeaway from today’s game. PSU had the best two conference teams at home and came up unbelievably small both times. Nothing remaining in this season is of any consequence.

I always wonder whether its the talent or the staff. I feel the same way I did on 1/1/09. We just got beat. I’d like to think a Galenless team would make the difference, but I don’t know.
For what?
For not launching a coup and taking over o-line coaching? Funny, cause we were all in love with Galen and Jay last year when we had a great line.

The problem was we BARELY beat our cupcakes
We had a hard time running against those early teams, and we didn’t blow them out like we should have. But then we all drank the koolaid and said “wait til we beat up the big10 teams.” I hate to say this, but we probably should have seen this coming.

And this is an argument to season the team against some more robust OOC competition even if it means losing a home payoff every other year and entering the conference schedule with a loss.

+1 big bro
As I just said before on the phone. I like DC a lot and he performed better than any of us could imagine.
He just doesn’t have “it”, he wants to be MRob but will never be that kind of “get on my back” leader. If he get rattled the game is over for PSU.
When things are good, they are very good…same goes for when things are bad…very bad.
If you cheer for O$U, you are a loser. Its that simple.
Do you think MRob would have done better than Clark did with Cam Heyward in his face all game?

This season or last….but lets just blame the oline.
If you cheer for O$U, you are a loser. Its that simple.
He did not shit the bed
I guess it’s the automatic reaction to blame the quarterback, but it did not matter. Clark played as well as any other college QB would have played in that situation.
I reserve the right to blame the o-line when they can only stop Ohio State’s linemen by holding them.

thinking about it more
it perplexes me how our players run towards other players – teammates or opponents – as if magnets pulled them together, instead of running out into the open. both royster and clark, and special teams, had many open spots, but instead, they go directly into the crowd. granted, the angle from television may have skewed my view. but i have to believe they were coached to do this.
a very weird game to watch. nothing about it made sense. it was so unlike previous games.

There was nothing about this game that surprised me other than the speed of our D. We knew our O-line was suspect, we knew DC struggles when pressured, and we had a suspicion that our secondary isnt the best.. OSU knew it too and they game planned for it and they executed. What I did not know was that our D was so slow. Maybe it just looked that way from my seats, and I am off base here, I don’t know. But OSU beat us to the sideline and turned the corner on like every play. And this may get me beat up and banned, but our star linebackers are kinda slow as well. The only time they make plays are when the person with the ball doesn’t know they are there, or the ball carrier gets slowed down going through the line. Its like all of our LBers are inside linebackers, The only plays they could make are when the runner tries to go up the middle. Maybe Im off base with this and just frustrated, I dont know.
I really didn't think they looked that bad
Bowman didn’t look slow, but he did have some sloppy tackling.
Hull? Well, we already knew he was slow.
Lee looked fine. One one play he was blatantly held, which doesn’t say much for him being slow.
On most of the plays where Ohio State turned the corner it had less to do with our linebackers being slow and more to do with good blocking.
Lastly, Pryor is seriously fast and tho I hate the term, he has “deceptive speed”. Which is why he could play receiver too.

This one is worth a re-post!
One team has 7 national titles, and the other team has 2. One team has 7 Heisman Trophies, and the other team has 1. One team has 78 consensus first-team all Americans, and the other team has 39. One team has 6 Lombardi awards, and the other team has 1. One team has 4 Outland trophies, and the other team has 1. One team is part of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the other team used to play Pitt. Can you guess which team is which? You might assume that the latter team, given its underwhelming comparative accomplishments, has been playing college football for less amount of time than the former, but you’d be wrong; they began in 1887, whereas the former began in 1890.
We don’t respect you. We don’t fear you. We sometimes lose to you, but mostly when we shoot ourselves in the foot. We try to hate you, but hate requires mutual respect, and again, lacking respect for you, the best we can muster is ennui.
We respect USC. We respect Oklahoma. We respect Texas. We even respect Michigan.
But we don’t respect Penn State. And we probably never will.

Bid 10 teams have had success against SEC teams when the Big 10 team plays Big 10 football. Ohio State’s problem has been going into games trying to out SEC the SEC. Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, and, even Michigan have done well in the Capital One/Outback games when they go in and hit these SEC teams in the mouth. While the Big 10 team might be behind in the third quarter, they will win the game in the 4th once the SEC team gives up. SEC teams don’t deal well with getting hit in the mouth.

Its been a weird season across the board.
A lot of things have happened that have defied logic. Iowa being undefeated until losing at home to Northwestern almost makes sense in this world.
Iowa really isn’t what I would consider a BCS team. But then, there aren’t 4 teams I would consider a BCS team this year. I can’t make heads or tails of this whole year. Ohio State isn’t that good. Iowa isn’t that good. We aren’t that good. We’re looking at a Big Ten that resembles the ACC more than the SEC this season. I’d say we have zero marquee teams, a few above average teams, and the rest of the teams are just awful.

Just curious
Not that it is that big of a deal, but just hypothetically, if we win out (which isn’t a given) and OSU and Iowa both lose a game…best case scenario for that would be if Iowa beats OSU and then loses to Minnesota since I don’t see OSU losing to UM. We could conceivably have a 4 way tie at 2 losses with Wisconsin as well. Are we still pretty much screwed as it relates to the Rose Bowl?
Not that we would deserve it all, just wasn’t sure about the B10 tiebreakers.
I have no idea
I don’t think it matters tho. Iowa will probably be starting a true freshman. Oh well…

“it”
Every great team has “it”. Iowa had it (until today). The 2005 team had gobs of it. The 2008 too, but maybe a little less. This team has none. Total inability to make big plays in big games. They’re the most talented team in the Big 10, but they just can’t dig deep when they need to.

I've just had a thought
Let me preempt this by saying this is not meant to be an attack on Pitt. Nonetheless, let’s say Pitt loses their last two Big East games (Cincy and WVU – it’s feasible). If you’re feeling frisky, feel free to add in a loss to ND. Then, lets say Temple continues their winning ways and at the very least, loses in the MAC championship game to CMU. Again, it’s not unthinkable.
Are you still following me? Well, I’m sorry, but let’s continue anyway.
This means Temple is one of the top 3 teams in the MAC and Pitt falls to the 3/4 range of the Big East. This means that the International Bowl might get the chance to pick both Pitt and Temple to play in Toronto.
“But Icersguy – that won’t sell tickets!” It’s the International Bowl – it wasn’t going to sell tickets anyway. Hell, you need a passport to see that game! But I’d watch that game for the match-up of the two other PA teams alone.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Hahhahahahahahahahahahahhahzzzzzzzz
That’d be frigging awesome. And since most Temple fans are really just Philly area Penn Staters, it’d be like our JV team vs. Pitt. If Temple won, I’d freak the hell out.

This happened when the game was pretty much over, but it might have irritated me the mosts.
7:00 left or so
1st down: screen to Zug, catches it for a one yard loss. Negative yards, 30 secs roll off.
2nd down: reverse for Powell. Doesn’t go out of bounds, 30 more secs.
Stupid stuff like that, which probably won’t get addressed because it’ll be maked by the other flaws of the day. I’m losing faith in the wideouts. Clark can’t make them better next year.

The D played well enough, but was on the field for too much time. The O was typical big game conservative crap, which showed on consecutive 3 and outs with 3 runs.
The Ohio State fans (note the use of “The”) were friendly enough, though I did not appreciate the folks to my right selling their seasons for the game. I found myself apologetic every time I made a comment after a Pryor play like, “I mean, everybody does. Passes to you, passes to me.” On my way out, I shook hands, gave a good game, and wished them safe travels home.
If someone told me they’d bet that Pryor would throw an accurate bomb, I’d have taken that bet and put my house on it. For the first time in his career, he looked competent. However, it helped that tOSU limited his north to south passes to only a couple, and the rest were safety valve throws or short dumps.
All in all, OSU sucks, PSU sucks more. I’ll be Iowa’s biggest fan next week (amazing how a week changes things).
P.S. LOLZ @ Notre Dame. Even more LOLZ at Michigan.

An existential question for your consideration
While watching the Iowa/Northwestern game today a thought occurred to me. Hayden Fry copied the Steelers’ uniforms in the early 80s because he wanted his team to "look like winners" (I’m paraphrasing – it has been almost 30 years). Anyway, in the uniform design community, the stripes on the sleeves of a Steeler jersey are known as "Northwestern Stripes," named after the practices of Northwestern University. You might say they invented them. Of course, Northwestern no longer wears Northwestern Stripes. Today, Iowa is the only Big 10 team that wears Northwestern Stripes. Does this mean that Iowa is actually Northwestern?

I thought everyone here was under-estimating Iowa before they won, then I rode their bandwagon because I like the guys at BHGP and they were pretty cool after they beat us (as opposed to a certain other team, but I won’t name names…). I don’t really “love” Iowa. Everyone says I do so I just roll with it. But I do like Iowa because Ferentz is a pretty classy guy and everyone in the media never takes them seriously and gets pissed when they keep winning anyway. Just like their style. It’s a fun bandwagon to ride.

Al Michaels: And so we’ve reached hour two of this “last” competition.
Matt Millen: Indeed Al. It looks like a fight to the finish.
Michaels: It’s been a tough battle thus far. Who do you like to win it?
Millen: Well, there’s been a lot of back and forth, with competitors starting to drop out. With that said, Penn State’s defense is no match for my love monkey, Tate Forcier.
Michaels: Wait…what was that?
Millen: Now I’ve seen some solid arms in my day – you know I used to play football for Joe Pa. Heck I used to own the greatest team in the NFL. But Tate just has “it”. And I can’t stop staring at “it” either.
Michaels: [speachless]
Millen: Just look at that fine specimen of man!
Michales: I’ve worked with some dumb men – Dennis Miller, John Madden. But you, sir, have just gone full retard.
Millen: I love you, Tate Forcier.
I’d say I’ve lost my mind, but that’d assume I had a mind to lose…

c/o wikipedia
A last is the form in the rough form of a human foot, used in shoemaking to provide the fit and style of a shoe. It is used by cordwainers or shoemakers in the manufacture or repair of shoes. Lasts come in pairs and the material used to make them are either European bass hard wood or hard rock maple such as grows in colder weather, or special high-molecular-weight, high-density polyethylene plastic (HMW-HDPE).
LAST!

Just as a random side note
I believe the title of the thread should have actually read, “Here We Come, Mate!”
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

I just google image searched for a wordsearch and rearranged some letters
but I probably should have looked at the wordsearch first.. there are some interesting things in there.
yeah... what the hell is going on there?
oh… and LAST!

Welp, looks like I am last.

I'll be rooting for Indiana to beat Purdue and Michigan to lose out
so that they officially finish last in the Big Ten. It was close last year, they tied for the worst overall record but Indiana has a lesser Big Ten record. And last.
damnit
Now I have to post “last” again.
last.
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

Ya know what's funny?
Mike told me the screen names of all the new users who registered after the game…clearly Buckeye fans with near zero IQ, relying on their poop jokes and joepa is old jokes, etc.
LAST
Awesome lol,
is there anyway he can make it so those screen names NEVER have the ability to comment? I mean, we all know how much OSU fans don’t care about the rivalry, so clearly they’re going to be bombarding us as soon they get the chance.
LAST FAIL.

Well, this was an exciting post-game-after-a-loss thread
