Welcome back, casual Penn State football fan

by ReadingRambler on Sep 3, 2009 4:34 PM EDT

Well, well, well. Good to see you again. What's that. That building next to Beaver Stadium? Oh, that's just the Bryce Jordan Center. It's where the basketball team plays. You've never heard of our basketball team? Oh.

How about that Michigan State game last year? I loved it when the players gave Bradley a rose! What's that? You weren't there? You left after the first quarter? Because it was cold? No? Oh, you left to beat all that traffic. That's nice.

Well, anyway, it's nice to see you. Wait, what? You think the White Out is immature? You think we should be more classy and refined like Michigan fans? Oh.

You suck.

You only come to games against cupcakes because "the fans are just too wild during Big Ten play!"

You don't know who Graham Zug is.

You think bacon is overrated and you don't understand our obsession.

"Thank God they got rid of that chicken sandwich in State College! Hopefully, they'll eliminate the grilled stick thing!", you say.

"Who's 'S.O.A.?'", you say.

"What's with that dog you keep posting?", you say.

And when, driving your fancy BMW, you see one of us usual "Too country" PSU fans, remember to brag about owning the same brand of car as Joe while we struggle along in our sub-compact that's just cheap enough.

But, hey, at least you're here at BSD. You'll leave before the bowl game because we're too wild. We might even be worse than those awful students that have that awful Camp Paterno or whatever it's called! Also, remember to delete your browser history so your snotty Ivy League grad friends don't know you visited a weblog. shudder.

We hope you've enjoyed the previews and such you'll find this season. Remember, when we start posting about basketball in November, you don't have to read them. We won't mind.

But when you're sitting in your fancy seat (You're one of Mr. Curley's best friends, of course) with your fancy season ticket, that person just above you, firing up his or her section, getting old people off their old asses, screaming their asses off? That's us.

In all honesty

I check in 5-10 times a day (I’m in law school and have nothing better to do), but I missed the dog picture’s first appearance.

Welcom Back, casual fans

Why the hostility in this post? I’m no casual fan, a PSU grad ‘84, you can’t be in the same room or even house with me when I’m watching the Lions on TV, I’m so rabid (have not been fortunate enough to make it to a game at Beaver Stadium in 5-6 years, hope to remedy that this season). But seriously, why the hostility? Nittany Nation needs to stick together, not diss others whose passion you high-and-mightily judge to be less than your own. It’s a Pennsylvania thing isn’t it? Being argumentative, combative, etc. I recognize it though I no longer live in PA. Root like crazy for the Lions (all sports, not just football and hoops), encourage others to do the same, and chill out for JoePa’s sake!

Ah, so this is why Mike didn’t want ot do this post.

The hostillity was fake, sir (even the part about old people screaming their assess off – that was a tip of the hat to Mike Valenti). It was satire. I’ll ad “/sarc” next time.

Oh, and welcome to BSD! ;)

I respect that you brought your concerns to me instead of emailing one of the moderatores.

You're doing well for yourself

it’s tough to translate binary code into characters and then put them into a words and finally into a sentence sequence.

This could all be solved

and save alot of hostility in the future if they would create a Sarcasim block that highlighted the sarcastic stuff for us so when we post it there would be NO DOUBT that is was meant to be sarcastic. I mean we have all caps to shout, why not have a SBnation sarcasim tool that makes all of this easier for the noobs to understand, and thus save pain, tears, and blood.

I guess instead of welcome back casual fan we need an exclusive thread for all the long time members

From the old site, before we got all of the bells and whistles here. Remember that site? I kind of miss that site… Oh well I guess I gotta let it go. It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
