Around SBN: Fighters React to Nick Diaz's Positive Drug Test

Sloppy Joe, Attentive Wingman

Penn State and LSU don't have much in the way of a common history.  Their last meeting was the '74 Orange Bowl, won 16-9 by the Nittany Lions.  Naturally, Joe Paterno was there. (Our records indicate it was his 38th year as PSU's head coach).  He provides us with his recollection of the game:

"In case some of you younger guys don't remember, because you are all a bunch of babies compared to what I am, but we did play LSU in a bowl game down in Florida years and years ago," 82-year-old Penn State coach Joe Paterno said this week. "And it was one hell of a football game, and we had a great time."

Hell yeah, we had a great time.  Beautiful city, beautiful ladies.  You know this.  Paterno also has fond memories of former LSU coach Charles McClendon, and athletic director Paul Dietzel:

Paterno said he was friends with McClendon, who died in 2001, and remains friends with former coach and athletic director Paul Dietzel, who is two years older than Paterno.

"Paul and I were both assistant coaches at the same time (in the early 1950s), and when we would go to conventions I used to hang around with him because he was such a good-looking guy," Paterno said laughing. "I was such an ugly guy, and I used to get his leftovers."

Wait, what?  No, no.  I've seen "Jersey Shore".  Smooth-talking Italians are known lady-killers.  Come on, Joe!  You're almost 83 years old, you're allowed to show a little swagger.  But hey, women are complicated.  Perhaps he just needs a little encouragement.  If only we knew someone who was an expert on the subject...

 


 

What would the J.O.E.P.A. system look like?

1973 season

Look at the AP polling of PSU during the ’73 season.

Starts the preseason #7, after seven weeks they are #5 and then defeat Bobby Bowden’s West Virginia team 62-14, and then fall a spot to #6. They remain #6 until the end of the season, when the AP puts 12-0 PSU as the #5 team in the nation.

In a way, it reminds me of Boise State this year.

is correct, but Joe and Sue shared an interest in English Literature and in fact were reading the same books when he was attracted to her and the rest was history…the former beau was not doing too well in school and Joe whacked him…I baby sat with Sue prior to their marriage, but it was all innocent as I am friends of the Family…I am old, not ancient yet, but I’m still working on my retirement…like having my fun on the BSD.

The Jersey shore up north sucks, because it is filled with doucheabags from Staten & Long Island, and basically other “wannabes”. That’s why I prefer going down further south (plus it is generally filled with Eagles and Penn State fans). Not that it is perfect down there, either, but much better.

funny you should say that about northern jersey shore, because that’s where i’m from. i agree with you 100%.

i worked as a bouncer in a bar in belmar this summer. every stereotype that comes to mind when thinking of staten/long islanders at the jersey shore is absolutely accurate. i saw so many people that were exactly like what’s in the show it’s not even funny.

i mean, on a level, it is funny. but it’s not if you deal with them 5 nights a week.

basically, i really needed money (blew a lot of it senior week on bar tours… haha) and they were hiring, and the pay was pretty good. for as horrrible as the hours were (go in anywhere from 4 to 10pm and stay until 330am ish, thursday through monday) the pay was pretty decent.

12 bucks an hour (only 10 an hour on the books) to stand around and throw around drunk bennies and look at girls all night? not a bad deal, really.

yep

the shore is always much nicer the week after labor day. Unfortunately for most places, pretty much everything is shut down, so there’s that to consider as well.

And I still stand by my claim that Shoobies are >>> Bennies (I grew up a Benny, but converted to shoobieism in my early teens)

Now I live in the midwest and find both of them highly annoying. The midwest may suck, but at least the people are nice.

by The JuggerNitt on Dec 11, 2009 10:52 AM EST up reply actions  

Agree on all points

1. Labor Day to early October is the best time. Warm water, hurricane season, no bennies, VB courts all to ourselves.
2. Having dealt with both groups, agree shoobies >> bennies (I grew up a shoobie then became a local)
3. Anytime we meet someone really nice around here, we say “they must be from the mid-west”. More often then not, they are. So even if it’s -496 dgrees today, at least the people are nice. And cold.
