Open Dread: Sorry, There's A Game Tonight.

PrintIndiana Hoosiers at Penn St. Nittany Lions, Jan 21, 2010 7:00 PM EST
[The game's on ESPN2, not the Big Ten Network. You lose, America.]
If Penn State loses tonight, will they win any conference game this season? Seems like a stupid question to ask just five games into the conference schedule, you say? Well, smartypants, if you believe in Ken Pomeroy (and you should), tonight is Penn State's last, best chance to win a conference game this season. Yes, it's only January 21, and this is it*. KenPom puts PSU's victory chances at 74% tonight. Maybe he knows something about a Bloomington, Indiana H1N1 outbreak that the rest of us don't.
After tonight's game, here are Penn State's next nine games and their projected chances of winning**:
| Sun Jan 24 | (6) Wisconsin | L, 66-50 | 58 | 4% | Away | ||
| Wed Jan 27 | (49) Illinois | L, 66-64 | 64 | 39% | Home | ||
| Sun Jan 31 | (9) Purdue | L, 74-58 | 65 | 6% | Away | ||
| Wed Feb 3 | (16) Ohio St. | L, 71-57 | 62 | 7% | Away | ||
| Sat Feb 6 | (20) Minnesota | L, 68-62 | 67 | 25% | Home | ||
| Sat Feb 13 | (10) Michigan St. | L, 70-62 | 65 | 20% | Home | ||
| Wed Feb 17 | (65) Northwestern | L, 66-59 | 61 | 20% | Away | ||
| Sat Feb 20 | (64) Michigan | L, 65-58 | 61 | 20% | Away | ||
| Wed Feb 24 | (16) Ohio St. | L, 67-60 | 62 | 22% | Home |
This. This is not good. But it's open thread time, and you're familiar with the rules, such as they are. Indiana is the enemy. Swearing is best as garnish, not the main course. Your mood music, provided upon request.
* - Even with the dire victory probabilities, Pomeroy projects PSU for a 3-15 because that compilation of 20%'s will eventually result in a few wins. Check the bottom of his chart and you'll see that PSU has a 1.48% chance of a winless record. Maybe we can be awesome, indeed.
** - These numbers have changed slightly since I put this post together last night. Shut up.

Bad timing
Last year we had a good team and only made it on ESPN like 2 or 3 times. NOw this year we are on a lot because of last years performance and we suck. Next year we will have Buie and hopefully a tourney-caliber team and we will banished to the BTN for every game.

Maybe he should have planned ahead
And redshirted Pringle last year to save him for this year. That way we would have had back to win 5 win seasons in the B10 instead of one with 10 and one with 0.
by mundyscorner99 on Jan 21, 2010 7:29 PM EST up reply actions
I'm of the mindset that we should have Ed around for at least next year, but...
if we go 0-18 or 1-17, I don’t know if he can survive that. Especially if this season starts to really go down the tank with a bunch of blowouts — remember we still have Purdue and MSU twice. Ouch.
IMHO
I don’t think Ed survives the year if PSU wins fewer than 3 games in the Big 10.

considering how many we’ve lost at the end
That woulda been a foul against us...
BUT SHIT, that was unathletic, even for a big man.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

We'll just say "crafty" and call it even.

Who is playing the role of Andrew Ott in tonight's performance?
I can’t find him in the program anywhere… he’s fantastic! He should just reprise this role every night
Ott has 13pts
It’s gonna be cold in hell tonight.

He's really not that bad.
Someone was slagging on Ott at FOS today. Pissed me off. He’s one of the few aware, effort guys we have.

Yeah well FOS and Bball don't go together.
Ott has been playing better. I still doubt anyone pegged him for a 13 pt game.

just remember
The reason 2005 football was so sweet, was we suffered for the first 5 years. Count this game, and this season as suffering necessary to really appreciate a good season like we’ll have. In 5 years.

Drinking grain alcohol in his car, eating a can of baked beans straight out of the can, playing “everything is gunna be alright lullaby” over and over again.

he's actually a nice guy
I ran into him in Puerto Rico. He told me Indiana would beat Penn State this year. He wasn’t lying.

No, seriously
My family went away over Thanksgiving break and stayed at the same hotel as all the teams in the Puerto Rico Classic. I shook Crean’s hands and said, “I’m a Penn State fan, and I know you guys aren’t getting any worse, but it was nice beating you for a change last year.” He said “yeah, that’s not happening again.” Then I shook his hand, wished him luck and went on my way.

Forehead aside
I’d love for him to coach PSU.

LOL
That’s a whole nother level of awesome.
"I'm colonel cool! And I'm the captain on this rocket to the stars!"
He relies on tough defense and motion offense, according to Wikipedia.
Which is what every other coach in the world says.

That's like saying
You want to run an “attacking” defense in football. Everyone says that like it’s not a cliche.
