Mike's podcast live fanpost recap thing

by ReadingRambler on Jul 22, 2009 9:01 PM EDT

8:08: Logged in. Babbling about MSU's QB situation. Kevin Cousins could be more like Drew Stanton. Could this lead to Valenti rant?

8:12: "Why hasn't Benn scored more touchdowns?" Because Zook under uses him, and Juice sucks?

8:13: Juice has "seen it all" at Illinois. He's seen a drunken and naked Ron Zook sending twitters to Angelina Jolie?

8:16: What's going on with Wisconsin? Rittenberg nails it. They've lost their core values of defense and discipline. Also, Bret Bielema.

8:19: "What's it going to take to change the Big Ten's situation in the public eye?" Raise an army and march through Tennessee and Georgia. Wait, already done! Scoreboard!

8:21: They're talking about Ohio State vs. USC or something. My opinion: if Ohio State wins, they will [barely] get hype. They always do. And then we'll beat them. Go Bucks.

8:23: Kevin Cosgrove will coach Minnesota's D. Isn't he the guy who turned the legendary NU Blackshirts into a joke?

8:26: Rittenberg says it's not clear cut as to who the best player in the conference, but picks Daryll Clark.

8:28: I was expecting Mike to sound like a suave and sophiscated man. A man who has bought hundreds of grottoes in foreign lands.

I wasn't quite correct. He sounds like a man who has killed his way to a grotto and then calmly sipped some bourbon.

8:28: It's hot in Texas or something.

8:30: Mike says that Ohio State and Penn State are getting close to eclipsing Michigan - Ohio State.

I'll miss you, Mike.

8:31: Mike wasn't killed by an Ohio State fan! Woo woooo!

8:31 Mike is scared by Northwestern. If we lose to Northwestern, I will probably start posting lyrics from Norwegian death metal bands.

8:33: Buffering.

8:33: Back. They were laughing about something.

8:33: Mike sort of sounds like Joe. "Ah, Kafka could get loose. Who knows what he could do. I'll be happy when we're past it."

8:34: "You might have heard of Steve Wisniewski." I LOL'd.

8:36: I like Mike's style in understating Sean Lee. Lee will probably beat Mike to death for revenge but it should be worth it.

8:37: Which incoming recruit is Mike most excited to see? Curtis Drake. I'll go with Kuntz.

8:41: Scirotto wasn't a good athlete? Should I make a bad boxing joke?

8:42: Drew Astorino is good.

8:43: Mike correctly prounounces "D'Anton".

8:44: Dave says that Andrew Quarless appears to be our top receiver. I am opposite Bubb Rubb.

8:46: Mike disses Graham Zug. At the moment he said that, my feed buffered.

8:48: Something I didn't know: Brett Brackett imitated Jeff Samardjzzzzjjjjia in '06 which led to him being converted to receiver.

8:50: The two other guys have a good laugh. Mike remains calm. I like him.

8:51: Greg Robinson is at Michigan. Just wanted to type that.

8:52: Are we becoming rivals with Michigan State? As long as Mark Dantonio is there. Doucheabag.

8:53: Mike hopes our fake rivalry with MSU becomes a real rivalry.

8:54: "What makes Evan Royster so good?" Vision. I typed that before Mike said it. What's my reward?

8:57: Mike to Maize n Brew: "...Stephfon Green. You may remember him. He's the guy who took a screen pass for a touchdown." I like his style.

8:58: Curtis Dukes = Ron Dayne!

8:59: "This looks like a 10-2 team to me." "I think there's a good chance of 11-1."

9:00: End.

Summary: Mike was just vaporized by Graham Zug. RIP.

I thought it was a good analysis, Mike

The only thing I probably would have added (although it may have seemed like trying to deflect guilt from our schedule and a bit whiny) was how we’re not the only BCS school with a shitty schedule this season, and that while we will never defend what our schedule is like this year, we get singled out every time while people ignore Texas, etc. who have equally crappy OOC games, yet don’t get flak for it.

What's funny

is when the slack comes from within the Big Ten, because the only reason it’s an issue at all is because the conference is perceived (and probably kind of is) too weak to make up for it.

That’s why no one gives a crap when Texas, Texas Tech or just about every SEC school schedule the same exactly kind of OOC slate.

Order your copy of "We Are Penn State" The offseason is long. So is this magazine.

Did you hear my joke at the end?

As they were running out of time and signing off I started yelling, “I want two seconds! Give me two seconds! We gave you two seconds in ’05! I want my two seconds!”

I hope that didn’t get cut off.

I heard it

Now I get it and am laughing heartily

Awesome

Your skill and wit in writing about a couple of dudes talking about how they normally write about kids playing games really shines. And the layering was so complex.

"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
