Apparently either Paulus has gotten his groove back after four years of BB, or Syracuse is really that desperate. They play Minny the week before they play us. On behalf of PSU fans, and our defensive front 7, I officially welcome Paulus back to football (assuming you can still consider what Gerg Robinson left Syracuse's program with a "football team").
But jokes aside, after Sean Lee tastes blood for the second week in a row after being away for so long, I hope Paulus is actually halfway descent and does well in the Big East, Lord Zug knows, our SOS could use a boost, and Syracuse could use a post-Gerg break.
(btw, side note: should I be concerned that I have two FanPosts in a row? Is that too Rambler-esque? I'm worried...)

We all feel like were ready...
to welcome Palus to football. plus is there a higher honor? Than to take ‘The Rambler’s’ place? I’ve often thought about this epic showdown, The “One and Only” Rambler Vs. The Upstart Dawson " I have no idea what Creek You Mention" Challenger.

TEABAGGED!
Black Shoes. Basic Blues. No Name. All Game.

I would love
LOVE to see Navarro make a similar play over Paulus, as he leaps over the hapless QB to take down the RB.
We’d have the LaVar Leap and the Bowman Bag.

Good stuff from our middleamerica friend!

I prefer not naming a starter until the end of camp
while all the time reminding the media that Paul Cianciolo is also in the running

He's gonna be carried off the field by a Paulus-bearer when we're done with him
You see what I did there?
I bleed Blue and White.

No, I don’t see what you did there.

I just said that so Buggy would explain himself which would lead to GreatScawt posting -1 again.

Alex Jones/d
Man, Syracuse Football is a joke, or perhaps it isn’t. Perhaps this is some sort of conspiracy in order to sell more tickets and merchandise.

that's crazy talk...
no one is better than Pryor… perhaps he’s better than Tebow?
I never thought I’d see an Alex Jones ref on here. +1

I hope he's really good
I hope he gets them 8 wins this season, would seriously help us out.

unusual QB's
Last year it was Wally Richardson’s brother, this year it’s Greg Paulus at Syracuse and former Iowa QB Jake Christensen at EIU.
Your Wally brother reference brought fond memories
of the Coastal Carolina coach’s press conferences.
“Anyone who says anything bad about Joe Paterno is an idiot”
CC's coach was a classic
I just read the article about last year’s PSU/CC game in a shiny new magazine and it had some quotes from him.
Great stuff!
"The sea was angry that day, my friends." G. Costanza
the players
the one thing I like about these type of OOC opponents is seeing the video of the players faces. The CC players were pushing and shoving to get to meet JoePa. It was awesome.

It might just be the Duke hater in me, but I would love for Crawford to rearrange Paulus’ limbs on a play.
I should probably seek therapy for this sort of thing.
Penn Staters belong at Penn State. The problem with a lot of kids is they just don’t know they are Penn Staters yet. -jesse. @ BSD

I hope he becomes a star QB
I would like nothing more than Syracuse to become relevant again so our OOC schedule wont be as weak as it appeared to have been at the start of the season. That being said I hope 6’5" 265 Jack Crawford shows why he is nicknamed the “British Beast”. I wonder if Paulus is physically ready to play football.

Yeah, here's rooting for him
Coach Greg Robinson Doug Marrone seems to think highly of him:
“He has instincts that are hard to teach,” Marrone said. "He knows how to look people off, how to take control of the game and how to change plays.
Plus, he seems comfortable in front of the massive Syracuse press throng:

Is that really him?
He looks like someone from “The Big Bang Theory”

I’d give you a rec if I had any idea what “The Big Bang Theory” is.

And Kayley Cuoco's breasts
They probably account for at least 15% of the shows viewers.

Hey, good luck to the kid
1. He’s living out a dream
2. Whether he starts, drives the bus, or hides in his dorm room, Syracuse is going to lose by 50 points.
by Tailgate Shogun on Aug 18, 2009 5:42 PM EDT reply actions
I say 30 points. They’ll be somewhat improved.

by ReadingRambler on Aug 18, 2009 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions
We didn't even beat them by 50 last year
So 30-40 is a fair estimate for this year.

Not really
Joe was still steamrollin through at the end of the second. I walked around the carrier dome to visit a cuse buddy of mine and he was livid at the two-minute drill there to try for a final 1st half field goal. "When did JoePa become such an asshole?’ was his 2nd-quarter remark. I just laughed and reminded him what a long memory he’s got and how it was still only the second freaking quarter.
Hey, is Afroman still pimpin Pennsylvania?

If he thought the Kevin Kelly 52 yard FG at the end of the half was bad
Collin Wagner’s 43 yard one at the end of the third must have been salt in the wound.
We may have pulled the starters, but there was zero pity on that day.
It was awesome.

I haven't seen Joe that fired up since the Michigan game when we were getting screwed by the refs
Seriously, we were winning by like 30 and Joes going nuts on the sidelines, trying to get the 2-minute drill in. People I was around were like “what’s gotten into Joe?”
The man knows how to carry a grudge.
"We hugged as grown men do. It was a great moment. Then, it was business as usual." -- LJ Sr.
I just chalked it up as
this is the best time to practice the 2 minute drill against “live” (if you can call it that) competition, and make sure we can execute it in a game situation if the need should arise.
I always thought that all bets were off with “running up the score” in the first half, anyway.
by The JuggerNitt on Aug 19, 2009 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions
Have you not picked up a copy of We Are Penn State yet?
Joe was an assistant to Rip Engle when PSU and SU had a huge, controversy-ridden rivalry with each other. So Joe still apparently will run up the score on SU even when they suck, like he’s been doing for the past 43 years as a head coach.

I like to think after the ’Cuse game Joe had a bourbon and glanced over at a picture of Rip and thought “that one was for you ’ol boy. we got ’em good.”

i was.
but after 3 years dealing w/ buckeyes and their fake superiority, i had to leave. i couldn’t take hearing how they “won” the big 10 those years we beat them. but at least i got to see them lose in the ’shoe. that was nice!!
i love being back in PA!! i’ve already been back to PSU four times (once I went just for the ice cream).
