Around SBN: Top Ten College Football Recruits for 2013

OT: PSU Student on Wheel of Fortune

Hi guys,

If you'll endulge me a bit, I'm gonna break from my usual football posts for a bit of a shameless plug. I'll be representing Penn State on Wheel of Fortune on Monday (Memorial Day), facing off against two students from Columbia and BYU. I just graduated last weekend, but the show was taped in February when I was still a student. Thought it might be fun to mention. Check it out if you get a chance!

Now back to your regularly-scheduled Iowa-hating.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PRIDE, DANNY?

Did you win?

I’d hate to see a PSU student losing to some Ivy League douche, or those drunken, drugged up, sailor-mouthed students from BYU. But I’ll watch if you kicked their asses and made off with some sweet loot, which you should probably share with the rest of us. Just sayin’.

I'm not sure of the outcome, but...

there is no mention of watching the following days & doesn’t the winner come back the next day?

Thats Jeopardy

WoF, I’m almost positive unless it’s different for theme weeks or something, that you’re only on once.

Good point

I was thinking of Jeopardy.

And what's so great about it is...

…everytime I watch it, I totally forget that it’s also the Cartman vs. Midget episode.

Congrats Tom....

Nice take. Be glad you won that in cash and not prizes. I have a buddy who was on The Price Is Right and he had to sell half the stuff he won to pay his tax bill.

Thanks!

Yeah, before we even taped I saw that horrific Beatle convertible on stage and prayed hard that I wouldn’t win that if I made the bonus round… thankfully I didn’t get stuck with it!! Haha, it’s so funny watching this all over again…

by tomatpsu on May 26, 2009 12:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

Congrats Tom!

As another PSU meteorology student it was exciting to watch you absolutely dominate that show last night. Congrats on winning and your graduation, you’ve earned it!

i'm just glad you shut out that chick from BYU...

she was giving you the “stink eye”

Oh yeah, she was.

My mom could even tell from the studio audience that she was fuming. All 20 of the college students that competed that day found each other on Facebook that next week and I was the only one she did not “friend.” Sour grapes, I guess!

by tomatpsu on May 26, 2009 1:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

That means.......

she had/has the hots for you. Come on Tom. This is elementary school relationship stuff here buddy. Read between the lines :)

Remember WoF when

the winner of each round had to go shopping in the Wheel of Fortune GucciMart of Crap? I’m sorry, you can’t keep that cool 5 grand, you need you buy the Lifesize Porcelin Mastiff. For $500 Pat I would like to buy the Genuine Seashell Lamp.

The show kind of lost its soul when you couldn’t laugh at all the junk the winner had to buy with his winnings.

Probably showing our age here

but my favorites were definitely the ceramic dogs they always ended up having to “buy”.
And that old classic: the dinette set.

Gradulations, Tom, that you didn’t get stuck with any of that crap.

No offense, but you are showing it

The only reason I know what you’re talking about is because I watched some sort of special about TV game shows and had video of the WoF Store thing.

by dawsonPSU10 on May 26, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

"No offense, but you are showing it"

I’m not offended, there’s nothing you can do about your age. But I’m very desperately clinging to and enjoying the last few months of being 39. Only death can stop you from aging – might as well enjoy it.

Mmmmm, tomato

We just need to get baconway, tomatpsu, and I guess letsgopsu (closes name I could think of to “lettuce”) together.

Tom - Congrats. I assume you have a copy.

I recorded it if you don’t.

Thanks!

We bought a DVD recorder the other day and I think it saved on the disc. I’ll let you know in case it doesn’t work out. :)
