Pregame Open Thread

by BSD on Sep 19, 2009 8:00 AM EDT in Open Threads

Okay, this business of watching the threads all day and posting a new one when it "feels right" or just before there is a minor revolution is getting old. So here is how we're going to work it today. This is your pregame thread. Going on through the day new threads are scheduled to be posted as follows.

Noon - PSU-Temple Game Thread

1:30 PM - PSU Second Half Thread

3:30 PM - Afternoon Games Thread

5:00 PM - Afternoon Games Second Half Thread

8:00 PM - Late Game Thread

9:30 PM - Late Game Second Half Thread

Somewhere in there I'll get a Penn State recap up. I will probably close comments on that so there is no confusion about where the open thread is. The past couple weeks everyone seemed more interested in discussing the games going on rather than recapping the PSU game.

We'll see how this goes. Being Temple and a home game I think this will be enough. For big games on the road we'll probably put up a new thread every quarter.

We Are!!!

Here's hoping

that this one is over by half-time and that the running game gets going and that Clark keeps his Heisman-like run up.

You have laid out my entire day I will use the thread changes as my breaks where by I will I shall eat and relieve myself.

Flu Rumor?

Someone told me they heard on the way up to the game (assumably on the radio or TV, since they’re old and don’t use the interewebs) that half the team has the flu including Clark… I’m not sure how substantiated that rumor is but we already heard something about Royster.

Either way, no need to panic, but I just wanted to put that out there in case anyone heard a similar rumor.

also, a glance around the internet seems to yield that was made up. sorry for posting it, it’s likely all BS.

Confirmed

Tom Bradley did his weekly radio interview yesterday on ESPN radio in Pittsburgh and said about 15 players had the flu. Didn’t offer any names.

Supposedly the flu thing is major

Could be tighter than we thought today.

I can dig it. I’d like to see our team faced with some adversity before conference play.

But yeah, apparently my source got the info directly from someone close to the team — sounds like it is a big deal. Big enough to call me at the ass crack of dawn to tell me.

I'm not worried about this week

I’m worried about when it spreads to other players next week, and the week after…

Will listen to this game

on the radio while washing and waxing car. I’ll feel better if they can get 40+ points.

PENN STATE!

My hope for the day is that, given that Temple should not pose much of a threat, we use this game as an opportunity to RUN, RUN, RUN THE BALL so that this O-Line can develop that muscle. The hill only gets steeper from this point and if we cannot establish a running game, this bubble will pop, but fast.

I am in a similar situation. I tried it last night on the boise st. game just for kicks, and it seemed to work pretty well.

Question

I’m wearing a #98 Penn State football jersey with the name “Jackson” along the back that a friend found at Goodwill. Was Jackson actually a player at one point? This jersey also bizarrely features a Bryce Jordan Center logo.

by gumbercules on Sep 19, 2009 10:23 AM EDT reply actions

Tyoka was #97

Thanks

That’ll be my story.. bootleg Tyoka Jackson jersey.

by gumbercules on Sep 19, 2009 10:38 AM EDT up reply actions

There was a link somehwere on this site

That had all of the notable players that wore each number. I can’t seem to find it, though.

For Jersey Day Today....

I am wearing #31 (Shane Conlan and Paul P)…my wife is wearing #11 for Lavaar(her favorite player)

Here’s hoping the running game gets going today. Hopefully it’s not a sickening game to watch…

I predict PSU 38-10

way to stick it to him

How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?

by psupride on Sep 19, 2009 11:24 AM EDT up reply actions

Somebody please

keep an eye on Mike next week while he tailgates. He will either

A) Have that “screw the man” attitude and bring Yuengling bottles to the tailgate…I really can’t bail him out jail from here in Texas. Guess that would be up to his parents.

B) Skip the beer entirely and go straight to the Captain and Coke…in which case I hope he can still make his plane home.
