And They Say WE'RE The Delusional Ones

Whenever something from the Bleacher Report pops up on my Google Alerts I go read it just for the entertainment value. I rarely link to any of the garbage they put out, but sometimes you get some so ridiculous I bring them up for a good laugh. Let's give this one titled Looking Back, Looking Head: Ohio State vs. Penn State the Joe Morgan treatment.
To all PSU fans that think you had the better team and that you dominated and beat Ohio State in Columbus in 2008, and those who say Ohio State was never close to winning that game.
You are truly convinced of that because you think PSU was the better team, but you are all wrong!
Way to set up the straw man so you can knock him down. I would appreciate a link to any PSU blogger or even a raving lunatic on a message board that thinks Penn State "dominated" or suggested that Ohio State was "never close to winning that game." Ohio State carried a 6-3 lead into the fourth quarter and was driving for another score before the Pryor fumble. What person in his right mind would think Penn State dominated the game?
I'm sure you all remember when Pryor fumbled and then PSU scored what ultimately was the game winning TD, right?
Here are two things you may not know about that play.
Again with the straw man. Just get on with it already.
No. 1—It was 3rd and 1 and Pryor was supposed to run up the middle or off tackle and just get the first down, but instead he saw an opening and tried to break a big one.
Yes, we already knew that Terrelle Pryor made a bad decision and tried to break the game open rather than just do the smart thing and get the first down. But go on.
No. 2—You are so lucky he barely fumbled the ball PSU fans.
Ok first of all, how does one "barely" fumble the ball? He either does or he doesn't, and Pryor did. And besides, I prefer to think of it as Mark Rubin making a great play and poking the ball loose. (Did you know Mark Rubin beat Michael Phelps in swimming?)
Here is a screenshot of the exact moment when he lost control of the ball.
Please take note of the field from where he is and then look down field all the way to the endzone.Had he not fumbled, there is no doubt he would have scored on that play.
There's a screenshot there of the play, and to me it looks like Pryor's momentum has been slowed by Rubin. He's moving toward the sideline with Anthony Scirrotto and Lydell Sargeant closing in fast. But yeah, I guess if I look at it through Scarlett and Gray glasses HE'S TOTALLY GOING TO THE HOUSE DUDE!!!1!!!ONE!!!
Seriously, thank your lucky stars that your team lucked into a win over the Buckeyes.
Were we also lucky later in the fourth quarter? I seem to recall the Buckeyes were driving in the final minutes with a chance to tie it up. That was before Pryor threw that wounded duck of a pass that Lydell Sargeant picked off in the endzone. Or maybe he barely threw a wounded duck that Sargeant barely picked off. I forget. I didn't see the replay because I was running around the house screaming F@&K YEAH!!!
I suppose we were also lucky to mount those two final scoring drives with our backup quarterback. Lady luck sure was shining on us that day indeed.
They will not be so fortunate this season. That's right, I'm already letting you know that Ohio State WILL win in Happy Valley this coming season.
We have been warned. Oooooo....
I know some of you like to mouth off that you played better vs. USC.
Actually, we did. Ohio State was never in that game and lost 35-3. Penn State had one bad quarter but was competitive throughout the rest of the game only losing 38-24. Last time I checked 32>14.
Well either way, (BSD - So you're saying I'm right!) it was a thumping at the hands of Trojans and your team was completely healthy, and all your best players were on the field.
He's right there. We had all of our best players. Except for Evan Royster who got injured in the first quarter and didn't return. And his backup Stephfon Green who broke his ankle later on. Oh, and also Sean Lee, our best linebacker. But other than that, we were completely healthy.
But missing our best player didn't seem to hurt us in the fourth quarter against the Buckeyes, did it?
Remember, Ohio State lost to USC in Los Angeles (not Pasadena) without Beanie Wells and with Todd Boeckman at QB.
Los Angeles vs. Pasadena? Seriously? That's like saying let's play the next game against the Buckeyes and the Nittany Lions in Dublin, OH and call it a neutral field. You can't be that obtuse, can you?
And you're complaining about having to play with Todd Boeckman? The same Todd Boeckman that torched Penn State in Happy Valley in 2007 and took you to the national championship game? Yeah. He sucks.
Let's just close this out with more idle threats and call it a day.
Your "We are, State Penn" chant won't save you and it is a day game.
So sorry Nits, there will be no night game whiteout either to help your clawless lions.
This year the young but mighty and talented Buckeyes are going to bring you back to reality and best of all, on your own field!
I prefer to think of it this way: We beat you by seven points in front of a hostile crowd in a night game. Imagine what we'll do to you on our own field.
This whole article smells like sour grapes. "Boo-hoo we had the better team and should have won." And it's full of idle threats with poor gramar and punctuation. I suppose that makes it perfect for the Bleacher Report.
I look forward to November.

That kills me too.
How many times have you seen endzone shots that looks like the QB/RB/WR has a wide open field, only to see everything close 2 seconds later? 800 times? The concept of movement through time can be challenging to some.
The best players break through their own holes. Re: Royster, Evan; Johnson, Larry.
but don't you guys understand?
If he was able to not barely fumble the football, then this is the time progression of what would have happened.
Apparently he would have grown to monstrous proportions as he sped downfield and scored the touchdown. Notice how the only thing that changes at the 2 and 4 second marks is Pryors position (and size). I don’t know why Penn State continues to deploy Mike’s “stand still and watch OSU QB take it to the house” play, but it is really frustrating when it happens.

looks more like he stepped on a land mine
And is being shot into space, but he probably would have come down in the end zone so we were lucky that he fumbled.

He could do it all
With his arm punt hang time of 4 seconds he really could put the ball up, run down field and catch the punt pass ball in the end zone.
Incredible.

Let's see if it works with us too.
2006
PSU was down 14-3 and on the OSU 1 before we “barely” got a penalty and M*rr*l* started to “barely” throw picks.
See how that makes me sound like a clueless whiny b*tch? That “barely” is a powerful word.
It is a real shame

They have a team of editors. Everything posted on BR goes through them, and they write the headlines and tag the article. By being smart with their headlines and tagging they look more attractive to the search engines.

"Editor" is a loose term.
They sift through all that crap, find something bland enough to syndicate, edit that, and then give it to (I think) Fox Sports. The rest of what they do is really more SEO Optimization. They don’t give a crap if it’s any good, so long as the headline gets it on google news and searchers feel compelled to click it.

If memory serves me correctly
The last time we played OSU in Happy Valley during the day, Mills barely broke the all purpose yards record with 418, PSU barely beat OSU 29-27, and JoePa barely passed the Bear for the most all-time wins.
lies, we have never won a game without a white out
especially a home game.

Actually
I believe this happened
Ohio State fans are so lucky the ref was barely retarded on that play.
I can't see it bec I'm at work
but I assume it’s the play where the ball barely bounced twice and the ref barely missed the call. I was there and as I recall it was a night game but just barely.
The killer in that video
is it stops at 20 seconds, and you can see the ball on the ground and the offical is staring right at it. That was a really bad call.

Boeckman/Pryor
I thought Tressel decision to play Pryor over Boeckman against Penn State was a gift from the gods. How come nobody ever even mentions that? Boeckman totally ate us up last season, people were comaparing him to Tom Brady.
And he doesn’t take a snap against us, in favor of a freshman?
Somebody explain to me how Tressel skates on that decision, it seems crazy.

that was one of my favorite parts about that game
just how completely ineffective the OMGBESTRUNNINGBACKEVAR was against our front 7. 2.5 YPC and a long of 8 yards on 22 carries. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so comfortable in a game against such a supposed “monster” running attack, and I sure as heck wasn’t scared of their passing game.
And I’m not saying OSU is bad, or that PSU is OMG so much better than them, but I felt oddly comfortable in that game, especially considering it was in their stadium, and they had the lead most of the time.
It was one of those defensive struggles (our offense wasn’t really any more potent against their defense), and it just seemed that we had the tools to more likely capitalize on the lucky break (or bounce, in this case). Though when it came down to it, except for Zug’s 50 yard catch, all the “big” offensive plays belonged to OSU.

I on the otherhand was not so comfortable
The adrenaline was pumping in full force, and I was literally shaking after The Fumble, which was when the adrenaline pumps went on twice as much until we scored to go ahead. THEN I started to feel a little more comfortable, but I was on the edge of a panic attack for most of that game, but god dammit was it a good one.
This was my experience also. I was at the game in what might have been the grad section. My buddy turns to me in the 3rd quarter, just shaking his head, and says “this isn’t even fun”, which is crazy but at the time made a lot of sense.

We should make a list
of great running backs that have had season lows against PSU over the past ten years. I think that’s what surprised me about Shonn Greene last year-I’ve become accustomed to highly touted RB’s struggling for yardage. Even The Badger Messiah Ron Dayne struggled. He never had a great day against PSU.
Make it the last forty years...
…so we can include Heisman Trophy winners Marcus Allen (85 yards on 30 carries in the 1982 Fiesta Bowl) and Hershel Walker (107 yards on 28 carries in the 1983 Sugar Bowl).

a fumble is a pretty binary thing. It either happens, or it doesn’t. The only “barely” fumbles I can accept would be if a guy is getting tackled and his knee is like still an inch off the ground before the ball pops out.

The guy clearly has a tOSU education
since they obviously lack the vocabulary to accurately describe anything other than “barely fumbled”
just smile
in the buildup of that game I saw some of the most prolific smack talking ever by the Buckeye fans. Beanie was finally healthy, they were going to run all over us, Pryor was going to make it rain out there and run for another couple of TD’s, the Buckeye defense was going to turn our HD into standard definition…
The Buckeyes are better at talking smack then they are at winning big games, and even when they outright lose big games, well they spend the rest of the winter and summer talking smack anyway. They don’t have an off button, and they won’t be humbled.
So I just smile, because the score is still 13-6 in our favor, and no amount of blogging or whining is going to take that away. Until November, that’s all that matters.
"We hugged as grown men do. It was a great moment. Then, it was business as usual." -- LJ Sr.
2008 Upset them for sure
I remember walking out of the stadium after beating them in 2005. I was walking counter to all the students leaving the stadium on the way to our car when there were a couple of young Buckeye fans getting a hard time from a bunch of students.
The one Buckeye said, “It’s cool dude. We beat you guys when we’re good, and you beat us when you’re good.”
I think that’s how they actually see the rivalry, and that’s why 2008 was upsetting to them because they felt like, and apparently still feel like, they were the better team. It’s like after the two embarrassing showings in the national championship games and getting destroyed by USC, they could still hang their hat on beating up on Penn State. But we took that away from them and I think it shook them up a little more than they like to admit. And now with the way we’re recruiting I think there is a little uneasiness in Columbus that the Lion to the east is awakening from its slumber.

There is fair amount of denial in Columbus
They beat Michigan umpteen times in a row, they played for two National Championships and [in their mind] they won the Big Ten four years in a row. They are the dominant team in the Big Ten right?
Well no, actually.
We’ve split the last four games and in fact, we’ve won the league two out of the last four years. That’s dead even, and they don’t want to see it that way. They really want us to be Illinois, ie an upst loss to a pretender. Not a program on equal footing, which is much closer to the case then they want to admit.

On a certain level you have to hand it to them
They wear hats that say 2008 Big Ten Champs, and they beat Michigan. If they simply ignore the existence of Penn State, which is easy for most Big Ten fans to do, everything is kosher.

Eh.
I’ve got to side with the tOSU fans on this one. I find the griping by PSU fans on the issue of tOSU’s 4 straight Big Ten championships — yes, that is indeed correct — to be silly. They were co-champions in 2005 and 2008, just like we were. The fact that we beat them doesn’t change that — if we wanted to prevent tOSU from being champions we should have beaten Michigan and Iowa repsectively. But we didn’t, and both PSU and tOSU finished with 7-1 records. That’s co-champs.
That's the rule
The rule is stupid. We were the better team and it showed on the field. Best team in conference = win conference, especially when it shows on the field.

Agreed 100%
Pretend PSU is 11-1 and makes it to the MNC
An OMG essss eeeeee seeeee team is 12-0 and plays PSU in said MNC
If PSU wins the game on the field, but both teams end up at 12-1, does that mean they should share the MNC? No? Then why does that same logic apply in-conference?
The rule is stupid.

Wouldn’t the best team in conference not use to a more mediocre one like Michigan in 2005 or Iowa in 2009? At least in both years, that tOSU can point out that they lost to a great team, unlike PSU who lost to a more mediocre one.
I know I’m not going to win any popularity contest on PSU boards for my opinion on this, but I actually find all the ridicule coming from PSU fans to be asinine. tOSU finished 7-1 in conference. We finished 7-1 in conference. Obviously, you have to have tie breakers for things like the BCS autobid, but I don’t see the justification for saying that tOSU’s 7-1 record is less of a championship than PSU’s because of the head to head, especially when PSU lost to worse teams each season.
And, yes, I’d be more than happy if the situation is reversed and would proudly proclaim that PSU is a champion along with whatever school they tied in record but lost to.
Upsets happen
Does Alabama deserve an equal share of the SEC with Florida because Florida lost to Ole Miss? USC losing to random Pac-10 team happens all the time too. they lost to inferior opponents but they were still the best team in their conference.
My problem with this Co-championship is that I just don’t think there is anyway to say OSU was equal to PSU last year. Firstly, we beat them, at their place. You could argue that that was an upset but it wasn’t. We performed better against common opponents the entire season. Them beating Wisconsin by 3, us beating them by 41. Them losing to USC by 32, us losing by 14. I’ll leave out us beating Purdue and Illinois better and them beating Michigan and Michigan state better because those were similar scores anyway.
I don’t mean to sound mean, but I don’t see how anyone can say they deserve it when they were not as good of a team. I also can’t see a valid argument for them being as good of a team.

well, one more point, then
both times OSU has had 2 losses on the season (admittedly also to good teams, Texas in 2005, USC in 2008). Yes, not in conference, so they don’t count towards conference standings (and aren’t a tiebreaker in the Big10), but that bugs me just as much as us beating them head to head.
So not only did we beat them, but we had fewer losses on the season as well. But apparently they’re champions too.

that may be the rule, and so they’re entitled to “brag” about it, but I know that if I ever won a “co-championship” in something, but was beaten by the other team in a head to head matchup, I’d feel embarassed to call myself a champion.
Next you’ll see OSU call themselves co-National Champions for 2007, because both they and LSU had 2 losses.

Blue Jacket
Actually, the Blue Jackets are a pretty cool name as they are named after a regiment of Civil War soldiers from Ohio. Problem is that they used some odd bug type picture on the logo when the team first started.
I call BS!
I’m willing to bet their first intention was the idea of a frozen Yellow Jacket (thus turning it blue, and technically dead, but I digress). Someone later came along and alerted them to this more meaningful name, and they’ve used that as the story.
Either way, it doesn’t stop the fact that they still suck.

It all comes down to Pryor, they thought “we got the #1 recruit in the country and pulled the kid from their backyard! Burn! Now we’re going to beat them with the recruit they so desperately wanted! That’s going to really sting!”
Well they didn’t win, and not only that the whole game was broken open and then lost by Pryor’s boneheaded mistakes… Now that thing they were trying to hang over our heads is a little tarnished, not to mention we just picked up 3 blue chip recruits at QB… Suddenly losing Pryor isn’t a big deal to us, in fact it ended up a good thing. That REALLY hurts the Buckeys.

I wholeheartedly agree, and agreed with the coaches

ah Wisky
in 2006 that was a hostile environment. In 2008 it SHOULD have been. The atmosphere was great for it. But their team, unfortunately, was the opposite of “great” in that game. Their student section was chanting something like “Let’s get wasted” and filed out of the stadium during the 3rd quarter (or maybe it was early 4th).

Rivalry
This just adds to the fact that the real rivalry in the Big Ten now is between these two teams.
Bring it!
This is exactly why I can’t stand Ohio State and their fans. There isn’t a school or a fan base out there that acts as ridiculous as these people do. I’ve been to Columbus a few times, and I must say, it’s hard to stay out of trouble when you get disrespected as bad as you do there. I happened to be in attendance last year and when it came time to leave that stadium, I couldn’t help but act like a little kid. That was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had. Listening to the Buckeye faithful congratulate us fans, telling me and my buddies they hope Penn State wins it all, taking in all the bickering, hearing all the complaints and the what ifs….absolutely incredible! Good luck to Mr.Pryor and the Buckeyes this season because after the things that I saw at Lift For Life last Friday, especially from the defensive guys, you’re gonna need it. FYI Jack Crawford and Navarro Bowman are not human….they’re machines!

I went to Penn State for my undergraduate, and did my graduate work at Ohio State. I’ve lived in both Columbus and State College for extended periods of time.
You are on strange drugs. High St., near OSU, is a far worse neighborhood than any place in State College. By a lot. And guess what? The University knows it. They flat out stated the area was a complete eyesore and not a safe place – that’s why they pushed so hard for the Gateway redo, which admittedly is a nice area, though if you go two blocks south it’s still just as bad.
I won’t even mention the other problems that occurred at OSU while I was there. Don’t even try to claim that OSU’s and the surrounding areas isn’t just as bad, or worse, than Penn State and State College.

I know you're just here to troll, and I don't know why I'm responding
most likely because you are insulting a place I love and care more for than my own home town.
First off, you’ll be hard pressed to find ONE loyal Nittany Lion fan who will defend what those assholes did in that video, and definitely not on here. Much like you’ll find not one loyal Buckeye will come defend what you’ve just said here. Nothing made me more ashamed as a Penn Stater then to see that video and have it become a representation of our student body, and they DO NOT and will NEVER represent our University, our students, or our Alumni. The outcry from Penn Staters everywhere when that video came out will prove that, and I myself wanted to see them kicked out of school for what they did.
Second, I assume you’re referring to the sad case of a former Penn State player, Austin Scott when referring to “rape”. If you weren’t a troll, you’d probably have found out that he had all charges dismissed when it was discovered that the girl had wrongly accused more than one person of raping her, and that the town’s D.A. refused to accept the reality where he wasn’t going to land a high profile conviction of a PSU player, dragging the case on for months, and further damaging the image of an innocent person.

After about the fourth time
I scrolled past this picture and it still made me chuckle, I figured it deserved a ‘rec’.
Nice one, sneak.

It REALLY must have been a slow news day if you are giving the FJM treatment to a 5th grader. This is obviously crap that doesn’t deserve to be linked from a reputable blog.

Yeah I know
But it’s the offseason. News is slow. And judging by the 200+ comments I would say it was a hit.

Yes, but it was barely a hit

Mike, yes it was a hit!
Again, I wrote this to piss on my friends cheerios as he is a PSU fan and yes, it’s definitely a slow time right now so I was hoping to get OSU & PSU fans fired up!
The #1 rivalry in the Big Ten right now is definitely between our teams with Michigan and the others not up to the same level as Ohio State and Penn State…
I’d say with all the comments on here, as well as on B/R, it was a smashing success!
Mission accomplished!

Okay, you must be a high school sophmore who got his first huge response from an internet post.
{High school sophmore = Buckeye super senior}
Anyways, good luck with the site.
FYI: getting traffic and maintaining it are two totally different skills. The first thing I’d do is eliminate the “obnoxious little prick” facade immediately.

Facade?

Gradulations
I hope the traffic was worth shredding any credibility you had.
I especially liked the comment on BR from the Buckeye fan who said he was embarrassed to read it.

He also published someone's email
so you can thank this mental patient’s blog for your new found spam.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
Yeah
I saw that. Unless the person who gave the email gave the ok for that, it was very uncool.

I just checked out
Block O to see what kind of comments were generated. Zero. I did see the posted e-mail address and it looks like it belongs to afields16.
Not only did this twit write a juvenile article pimped on B/R. He tried to cover his nonsense with “it was all in fun”. Then he sells out a patriot serving in Iraq to further his trend.
I’m just glad blocko has so little active participation on his blog that afields has little to worry about.

The owner of the email address should have him remove it.
Spammers get almost all email addresses from bots that crawl around searching all web sites for text that looks like an email address, not just the popular ones.
I wonder if you posted addresses like root@127.0.0.1 or Administrator@127.0.0.1 that would cause the spammers to spam the administative accounts on the machines they use as mail severs? I doubt the admins would like that or let it continue.

Good point
I removed the comment he made above where he disclosed the email address. It’s SBN policy to protect the privacy of people who sign up for an account.

This whole Block O
nonsense was unfortunate.
As much as we hate Ohio State, we do need them to win. And a win over USC would be a huge conference credibility boost.
Cory Giger in the Altoona Mirror says it well.

they won't get out of that game with a win
hell, even if it was in November. at night. and USC paid the Big 11 trillions of dollers.. and OSU extended there stadium. they still won’t beat USC
