Penn State Nittany Lions (6-3) |
Virginia Tech Hokies (7-1) |
Tonight the Nittany Lions take on the Virginia Tech Hokies at 7 PM in the Bryce Jordan Center. This is probably Penn State's biggest out of conference opponent of the year and their best chance at collecting a decent win for their resume. You can watch the game live on ESPN2. This is your open thread. Team stats after the jump.

Since this thinger doesn't get underway for three hours,
this would be a nice place to have a volleyball open thread
We’re starting our 100th right now against Cal on ESPNU.
THIS
I was going to threadjack this and talk about vball.

This b-ball game should be great.
Don’t know how the team will respond. I don’t want to see a complete FAIL job, because at this point in the season, the “we’re still looking for an identity” excuse starts to wear a little thin.
Even if we don’t win, hopefully we can be competitive and show improvement.

D'errico just went nuts
with 5 great serves (and still serving after a Cal time out) in a row, 3 of which Cal couldn’t get into play, and 1 which they returned over the next for Blair Brown to smack down for a kill.
Did you see that Brown kill?

Not to threadjack further but
How bout our Lady Lion Hoopsters getting the day off right with an upset of #15 Pitt.
Now time for the everyone else to keep the winning going.
Baller.
How do they look this year? Anytime Pitt gets beat is OK by me.
On a related note, I was talking to a friend last night and telling them how I went to PSU and then Pitt grad school. He asked if I rooted for Pitt. Rookie.

There's an awesome comment to be made here
But outlining administrative law has rendered my mind completely incapable of making it right now
Army - 3, Navy - 0 about to start the second half
never would have predicted that score.

Hey Junny
do you know if a block is counted if the other team recovers, or only if the block results in a point?
Both.

I'm sorry, I lied.
I had to look it up. I assumed it was both, but alas I was wrong.
in order to receive a block solo or block assist, the block must end play

lol kk,
I guess it makes more sense, but I wanted it to be the other way around, because then we would have gotten 3 blocks 3 plays in a row, instead of 2

250 hitting and 2 blocks? Huge meh.

"The All-American"
I’m no expert, but it doesn’t seem like that is such a distinguishing moniker on this team.
They should have at least 4
But will probably get 2. Trying to pick just two, however, is like saying which is your favorite kid.

Yeah, this dialogue earned a +1
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
The best I could find online.
in international play men average in the low-mid 60s (mph). some can serve upwards of 80 mph though
What some people don’t realize is that it’s not always the speed that makes it so tough. When you see a serve that the server hits with an open palm, it’s a knuckleball that is very hard to return.

I would really look into getting that copy righted or something, in the event that Maybin blows up in the NFL he’ll probably want to trademark that and if you have some legal rights to it you can get some of that fat cash (or at least a signature). How many lawyers do we have on this site, someone tell me if this is possible.

They finished the year ranked 10. But they had 10 losses.
So an overrated Iowa team, maybe? They play out west, which, in women’s volleyball actually means something. But they still had 10 losses, so Pitt?

App State vs Montana. Pretty good game going on. They are at Montana and the stadium is packed and pretty loud even though its snowing like crazy. Fun to watch until the PSU BBall game comes on.
What's with the lights at Montana.
Is it just the snow or are the towers too low??

Jones is somehow worse.
Brooks and Jackson are solid enough as role players. But Jackson’s become the “other” scorer, which is bad. Babb actively hurts the team when he’s out there.
And their interior defense is just abysmal. That’s really their biggest problem.

They just said it would be unthinkable for Joe Paterno to go into the hoods of Miami
Not that it mattered in the end, but hey

You have to finish .500 to get into the NIT
I’m honestly not sure that’s going to happen this year
Yeah, I agree

Looking at the schedule, I think we'll finish 1-2 games under .500
The NIT is possible if we pull out some unlikely Big Ten wins, but I don’t have my hopes up
Unlikely wins
We’ll get some. All we need is a night where one or two guys other than Battle step up and we can beat anyone.

But the problem is
on nights like this, where nobody else steps up, we can lose to anyone.

Better than that
We finished at .500 in 2007 (I think) and we weren’t even close to making it.

I think you need to be .500 to be NIT-eligible
That doesn’t mean you will get in; it just makes you eligible
You know, they're really trying...
But even having been born and raised in South Florida, I still can’t think positively of Miami.
Too many head injuries

For ten minutes
It’s just been them calling themselves thugs. We get it. You thought it was awesome, and you’re still not embarrassed about it. Pathetic.
I just want to see if they say anything about the Penn State game
Yeah, this is getting stupid now

Kinda funny that they apparently think Miami football died in 1994 though.

Lenny Moore, the original Reading Rambler
Also known as the Reading Rocket.
He was overshadowed by Jim Brown during his college career, but Joe Paterno still called him the best PSU player ever. He also said that about Cappy, so I assume they’re tied for that honor.
He had a great pro career too.

recap for you
We didn’t care about rules. We were inner city kids (I laughed a bit at the part where they claimed they gave these kids a “chance at an education”. I wonder what the graduation rates were and how many of them actually even went to class) and we were tough thugs (until confronted by real tough thugs in Club Manhattan).
We knew how to win. Everyone else just tried to win. We were better than everyone else, even when we lost. When we lost it was never because the other team beat us, it was always because we lost the game.
Then they showed all of the “good” Miami parts leading up to the 87 Fiesta Bowl but didn’t show the PSU counterpoints (and yes, I know this wasn’t a show about PSU, and was just about Miami, but half of what made it so ridiculous was the stark contrast between the 2 teams).
They showed the fallout with the university president about their conduct, and by “fallout” I mean their complete ignoral of the president who “is just like the rest of America and hates us”. They even showed the NCAA rules changes for unsportsmanlike conduct and how they laughed at the new rules and the fact that they were basically the prime reason for the new rules.
They also claimed to be the reason any racial tensions in Miami were quelled.
In summary: they overemphasized pretty much everything they did. If I did a show on them it would basically be 10 minutes long and just state that they were a bunch of thugs and prima donnas who overexagerate their importance on pretty much anything, but who were still good football players and won a bunch of MNCs.

I pretty much agree with most of this
Really, I only watched for Schellenberger. Dude is a real life Dos Equis guy.
My favorite part was during the 86 season when Irvin and some other ass went into a club with guns, and made their buddy calm down and go home or something. AFTER THEY HAD BROUGHT GUNS ALONG.
