Nitt Picks Is Not Too Bulky To Pick Nitts

PrintIt's Like Some Kind of Watergate 2.0 Mystery? ESPN was apparently (I wouldn't know because Apartment HD doesn't get cable in the summer) ragging on Clark for bulking up to 240lb at 3% body fat. Too big to play QB, they suggest.
This appears to have gotten JayTweet on tilt (money quote: "now I know they've got nothing left to talk about"), which led to this confusing and now deleted comment from the same RSS feed:
Any guesses? And Balco resents the allegation.
For those of you concerned about Clark, and I suspect I'm talking to an empty room here:
Some might say 240 is too big, but [Mr. OMG --ed] Terrelle Pryor is 238 and I don't hear any complaints there.
Awards. They continue to lose value with every passing season, except for the ones Penn State wins. Clark, Juice Williams and Northwestern's Kafta are up for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award; non-seniors need not apply.
You Can't Even See Yankee Stadium From Space. The ND-Army game that I probably won't watch is, according to everyone's sources, a done deal to be played in Yankee Stadium. Rutgers is joining the mix and that has led to speculation that Penn State might want crash the party during the three years of football in the city.
It's an interesting idea. Joe would be returning to the city and thousands of graduates get jobs there every year. But even with the hoopla I'm not sure it would actually out-earn the same game in Beaver Stadium. Wiki lists capacity at 52K, just half of Joe's new hometown; only with crazy ESPN money and a match-up that isn't possible in Beaver Stadium does it really make sense. Not that I wouldn't want it, necessarily, but I don't see the profit in it and therefore the possibility of realization.
In case you wondered, Penn State has played in the venue (by name, anyway) before:
- 10/27/1923 Penn State 13 - West Virginia 13 - 25,000
- 10/10/1925 Georgia Tech 16 - Penn State 7
- 10/19/1929 NYU 7 - Penn State 0 - 30,000
Mobile Arm-Punters. We've been all over Pryor here lately, partially because it's fun but also because I think he has an awful lot of prove and people are forgetting that.
So when I saw Feldman's latest link bait titled "examining the 10 best quarterbacks for the spread offense" in the reader I was curious. I respect Feldman, he knows his stuff and has done like research and stuff for books, but I forgot I'm not an Insider ($):
A teaser truly written for the masses. How can anyone resist handing over their hard earned recession money for a look at that list?!
In Scores of Other Games. We may get to watch another Comcast vs. The People battle next summer as the Big XII, Pac-10 and ACC are looking into teaming up as a single channel (only the teaser is non-$)...in battles you've already won, the third PSU day on the BTN is today, and the network will also carry Media Day next week...and in an update to the Big Ten-ACC Challenge, Penn State @ Virginia will be only game tipping off on day one of the event.

DC is #9 and TP is #8
I do like Feldman too but he says DC is down on the list because he isn’t a good runner because he only had 2 over 20 yds last season. He says TP is explosive and that apparently outweighs DC’s proven skills as like an actual QB.
Angry Mike
They’re talking about how fit they are for a run first spread-option. If I’m basing my offense around the zone read like most of those teams do, I’d rather have Pryor.
Any other offense and I’ll take Clark.
I didn't really expect Clark
to even be on the list the way he conditions the thing to be “run-based”, although what that means is probably a pretty long debate. But there are four QBs in the Big Ten alone who had more rushing yards than DC17.
Order your copy of "We Are Penn State" The offseason is long. So is this magazine.
Most?
I don’t think you can say most spreads are zone reads. I would say if anything that’s the exception rather than the rule. Most of these spreads like us, Florida, Texas, Texas Tech (Pretty much the entire Nintendo 12) are pass heavy offenses.

I clarified in the first sentence that I was talking about run-first spreads and not passing spreads.
Florida is a run-first spread offense as well, by the way.
My fault
Yeah, you’re right about Florida.
Would you really take Pryor over DC even in a zone read? I would maybe buy that if you said Clark’s concussion concerns are too much for the zone read, or that you’re considering 3 years of Pryor compared to 1 for Clark. But purely performance wise for this season, give me Clark all day.
If you want to account injury concerns and eligibility and a zone read, I’ll take Griffin over Pryor. Dude is lightning, and makes plays with very little talent around him. Imagine what he’d do with the keys in State College or Columbus?

+1 for sissy footed
"For me the game wasn’t grounded in reality. It was about the uniform you put on that turned you into a warrior. It was about the mythology of the battle, the victory, the defeat, the struggle." - Mike Reid, PSU '69
To be honest I feel that Griffin is better in every conceivable way than Pryor (except for maybe hype), but I was just focusing on comparing Pryor and DC17.
I feel that Pryor is a faster and more elusive runner than Daryll – though I’d probably say he’s not as tough and willing to run over guys as Clark has been. How many guys did he carry into the endzone against Oregon State? 3?
I guess ultimately I’d possibly go with Clark even in a run first system, you’re going to have to eventually throw that ball.
Joe
Has pretty much said he doesn’t want to see a lot of designed runs for the QB if the offensive line is good enough to pass block effectively
And rightfully so
Why put the added risk on your starting QB, when you’re doing just fine without him having to run? Then you can throw in a short run play just to catch the D off guard.
+1 for Nintendo 12
I hope to see that pop up more around blogistan.

I know real gamers hate the Wii, but I just bought one for all the Wii fit stuff, and NCAA ’10 was going to be my first and probably only "video"game.
Wii fit, and other fitness stuff rocks by the way.

I guess I don't count as a "real" gamer
but I probably used to be, cuz I loved playing me some video games (though my entire PS2 collection is basically sequential years of worthless NCAA and Madden games. I felt like I was “cursing” the team with them, though, as I started playing the 2001 version, didn’t get the 2003 version, played again for 2004 and 2005, and then quit (I hate the fact that the most recent version I have has friggen Larry Fitzgerald on the cover). It was too eerie of a correlation between years I played and the years PSU did terrible that I swore off the series for good (at least buying…though now that I think of it, I don’t know if I’ve even played it since)

Not to fuel a tangent here
but Wii is awesome, but yes it lacks the hardcore gaming (read: violence) that an Xbox has. I’ve always been a loyal Nintendo fan, but it’s tough when you see awesome games like Halo come out for another system, and you have nothing comparable on Wii. I don’t play online or anything, but after a year of really not using my Wii (since there aren’t that many great games out for it) I decided to split the cost of an xbox with my parents for Christmas.
But the selling point for the Wii for me was that you could download old NES, SNES, and N64 games. I don’t regret buying Wii for a second even though I don’t use it that often.
Tangent! Tangent! Tangent!
Love me some tangents!

I go back and forth between my wii and PS3
Overall my PS3 probably gets used more but if I have friends over, the wii definitely gets used. I actually only have 1 PS3 controller because I don’t really have any friends that want to play those games (sports/shooters) all that much. But the wii controllers are being fought over because people want to bowl or play some tennis.
And I agree about the old NES SNES and N64 games. I have Star Fox which always gets some good multiplayer going. And I just dled the original Zelda for some memories.

ratings, our buds over at bleacherreport said TP was the best player in the b10.
The best part is the qualification that, “this is simply a list of the best players right now.”
HAH! DC is tied number 2 with Thaddeus Gibson. It’s like the only surefire way to get traffic this summer is to try and inflame the PSU fan base. I am just not falling for it anymore, in fact, I’m not including a link. BRING ON THE SEASON ALREADY.
Good point, and nice restraint
The sheer size of our awesome PSU fanbase is a natural light for all the mosquitoes out there in blogistan.

I can't wait
Hearing Joe is always a draw, but I can’t wait to see the 2008 numbers unveiled. Last year was a ton of fun (my first year at UP), so I can’t wait for this year. Joe told the Nixon story last year because they were celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1968 (and 69) undefeated teams (and all the players were there from those teams). I had heard the story before, but Joe is such a great storyteller that he had everyone cracking up.
Plus, Curt Warner is going to be there, which is also awesome.
Probably a dumb question...
…but who is JB?

JB
I was thinking it was the S & C coach but that’s JT isn’t it? Plus it makes no sense whatsoever.

Isn't JB with FOX ???
When I heard JB I was thinking of one of the 4 commentators on FOX NFL (Terry, Howie, JB and Jimmy Johnson). JB is a little supersized.

that was my original thought
then made the same Fox connection and figured he meant some other JB

He’s actually on CBS now. They’ve got that Curtis guy now on FOX.

I was thinking
that Jeremy Boone has been in the weight room a lot this summer, saying he was going to get ripped like Clark or big like Crawford (or something to that end). Maybe someone brought that to Jay’s attention?

Boone’s going to be able to punt into the sun!
…any idea what the ruling is on that?

with the B10 refs? you kidding me?
unless you mean victory for the other team.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow penalized Boone for littering on the surface of the sun.
by The JuggerNitt on Jul 22, 2009 12:29 PM EDT up reply actions
What type
of penalty do you think gets assessed for sun littering? Also, does the sun have a “surface?” If so, I’m fairly certain that Boone would not survive a trip there to clean up his mess.
by PSUinBOSSton on Jul 22, 2009 12:35 PM EDT up reply actions
He'd most likely be travelling with Zug
In his chariot. Which is flame-retardant, naturally, and would protect him.
As for littering, Zug has already begun a Keep the Sun Clean campaign and posted signs indicating the fine for doing so is instant vaporization.

Yankee Stadium
It would be considered an away game for us, since Army will be the host of all of the games but the ND one (of course). Take the $$$ and runnnn.
If Army wins I will enlist in the Army.

As much as LOVE Yankee Stadium
(and I miss the old stadium, but the new one is really a lot nicer…just lacking the history) I would not like watching a football game there. There’s a reason baseball should be played in baseball stadiums and football should be played in football stadiums (don’t even get me started on basketball in football stadiums).
Although watching some replays on that jumbotron would be pretty friggen sweet.

Getting you started
JNitt, what do you think about basketball in football stadiums? My Cuse buddy told me during my first visit to the Carrier Dome last year that hoops there really rocked, even with the curtains.

well, I've never actually attended a game
but have a bunch of friends that watched the Spartans play in Ford Field. They actually said it was set up better than previous instances of basketball on a football field, but still kinda sucked. It is much quieter than say playing in the Breslin Center, and the energy just kinda drains out of it. It is also kinda weird since there is so much “ground level” that (especially if you are in the back on the bottom) you can’t really see anything cuz you are too low and there are a million people in front of you. And then finally when you get to the stadium seating you are so far away.
I understand that you can sell more tickets to a football stadium, but you are really gypping your customers by selling them tickets.

As a 'Cuse grad
I’m insulted by the insinuation that the Carrier Dome is a basketball court in a football stadium. Everyone there knows its a basketball arena which graciously allows the club football team to use the extra space for “games”

"Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the mouth."
Clark is jacked
But we already knew that. He’s going to be getting more contact during the games and I’m sure he knows he’ll need every bit of strength he can get to break tackles and muscle threw sacks. McNabb is another mobile QB known for being exceedingly bulked up, and one of the benefits is he can zip the ball down field from his back foot with a DE hanging onto him.

Penn State Day on BTN
Their prime time game is a basketball game from 2001?
you do realize we went to the Sweet 16 that year, right?
and beating the #2 team (and defending National Champs) is nothing to sneeze at.

Yay
They have 4 games in all of Penn State’s sports history to choose from. If you must go BBall, which is frankly ridiculous considering PSU’s lack of achievement there historically, why not replay the 2009 NIT championship game? Or even the George Mason game.
To be clear
My problem isn’t so much with showing the BBall game, only that it’s what BTN chose for prime time. They show the ‘83 sugar bowl at 3:00 and a regional tournament win at 7:00. It’s a Wednesday, which of those 2 will I be able to see?

only a little off topic on bball
but a couple of weeks ago ESPNU had a salute to Philly and played the final NIT game. Since the game was at MSG, do you think they were really stoopid enough to equate Penn State with Philadelpia? Would a sports channel really confuse it with Penn?

Or why not play the win over UNC
since it is from the same year, and one of the biggest wins in PSU basketball history.
Though the NIT run was probably just as much, if not more fun.
