Top ten reasons Penn State will lose to Michigan!

10. Because I had a weird dream last night. I've had dreams about Penn State football before. Who hasn't? Anyway, it was a night game. It was obviously this year's Penn State-Michigan game. It was being announced by, oddly enough, Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson. The truly weird part was that "Michigan" was wearing the uniforms of Iowa. They even had the same players. But they were still announced as Michigan and the scoreboard still said it was Michigan. So, whenever you think of this year's game with Michigan, you're going to think of Broderick Binns and Adrian Clayborn attacking our "offensive line". Again.
9. Because Matt McGloin might play. I mean, come on. Gimme a break, will ya?
8. Nate Stupar is truly becoming Nate Subpar. Gah.
7. McGloin might play. Are we starting Shane McGregor against Ohio State?
6. OMG! The last time Rich Rodriguez faced Joe Paterno in a night game, this happened! And do you really think McGloin is any better than Doug Strang?
5. Tradition! Tradition! Above all, tradition! Michigan has as much if not more tradition than anyone else in college football. Rich Rodriguez represents all of the best aspects of Michigan tradition. Nothing has changed at the U of M. Nothing at all. Nothing. Stop looking at me like that. It's true and you know it.
4. Mike Martin. Enough said. Or he is still injured? Because if he is, I know what #4 really is.
4. Penn State's offensive line. That's right: enough said.
3. Matt McGloin. Right, he can "wing it and fling it", but does he really think he can do that against Michigan's defense? We ain't talking Minnesota, we're talking Michigan. We're talking about a team with the greatest tradition in the history of college football. We ain't talking Minnesota, we're talking Michigan. They can sit down on the toilet and when they flush, it comes out on the other side of the pipes as a five star defensive recruit who is ready for combat. That's Michigan.
2. This game will be decided by a Robinson. As you know, there are two Robinsons involved in the greatest team in the history of college football's football program. Denard and Greg. One is, you know, pretty good and the other is not so pretty good. My theory is that RichRod, wizard that he is, will force/cause Denard and Greg to have several children. NTTAWWT, I guess. Each child will have all the greatness of Denard and all the horror of Greg. Yes, the children - twenty-one of them - will be representatives of Michigan football. So, if my theory is correct, Michigan football will be, like, playing for itself somehow. All of that tradition, history, and modern strength on the field at the same time. Hail to the victors indeed. I just blew my own mind.
1. Seriously, Denard Robinson. Need I say more?

Hey Rambler....
Seriously, I had a few good chuckles through that.
House-hunting with Rick Neuheisel in State College since 2005.....
We're screwed!
Check out Rittenberg
Simply put, this is the biggest game of Rich Rodriguez’s Michigan tenure. Rodriguez and the Wolverines come off of a bye week and need a win to stem talk of a 2009 redux. Penn State got the win it needed at Minnesota, but surrendered 433 yards. The Lions will be tested by Denard Robinson and co., while their quarterback situation remains unsettled after Rob Bolden’s apparent concussion.
That is a statement one cannot argue with. And we all know Michigan has come through in big games over the last five years.
A wolverine is really just an oversized groundhog. Also, the next man to call a stretch play gets sent to Botany Bay. Beat Michigan.

Yeah.
Considering how a win over Wisconsin in 2007 would have helped them at least clinch a share of the Big Ten title against Ohio State the next week, one would think they’d keep their starting offense in such a critical game.
They needed to make a bowl with a win over Wisconsin in 2009, and got handed their worst ever loss in series history.
You can't be serious, man! You cannot be serious! His foot was on the line! It was ON THE LINE! He was clearly out! How could you possibly call him in!?

Robert Bolden concussion?
so the first thing that comes to mind is i only saw a little bit of the game and saw big red push him out onto the field, and then he went down….. thought it was a leg injury of some sorts… Concussion?
Second, if he did get a concussion, it was from playing Minnesota? Wow, that doesn’t say anything good for whats left of the O line…. absolutely terrible…
So will i see McGloin this weekend or Newsome? (if i decide to catch the game from NC)
For the Glory of Old State
I'm not sure you can blame the line for the concussion.
He was running on that play IIRC. They didn’t give up any sacks either.
Also, I don’t think anyone outside of the program knows whether Bolden will play. The point of this post is to not be serious.

Yeah, he was trying to bust off a run.
Unless the O-line was going to run in formation in front of him down the field they can’t be blamed for that.
Oh, not be serious.....
Ok then, Devlin’s okay to start…Whew!

Speaking of wierd dreams....
a few weeks ago I dreampt that I was working room service at a hotel (can’t recall which one, or where). I was stuck working during the Minnesota game and was kept busy enough that I didn’t even get to catch any on tv. Early afternoon, I get a call to deliver a fifth of old grandad and two cans of whipped cream to a room. When I knocked a naked hooker answered the door and ushered me in. I placed the items on a table and hurried out. Later, I heard that Joe has missed the game due to “flu-like symptoms”. Hmmm. Disturbing.
Oh, we got both kinds. We got country AND western
Back in 2007, I dreamt that Morelli would maim or kill Derrick Williams by throwing the ball through his chest. Silly me. Morelli could never hit Derrick Williams in the chest.
I’ve also had one or two true nightmares involving Penn State football.

The only person Morelli could hit in the chest
was Malcolm Jenkins. He bagged more crushing INTs on bad QBs than any other CB in Big Ten history.

One big reason we will win on Saturday
I’m not going to attend the game. I won’t even be in State College. This is important based on the following:
2005 Ohio State — I was in IUP — WIN
2006 Michigan — In attendence — LOSS
2007 Ohio State — In attendence — LOSS
2008 Illinois — I was in the 717 — WIN
2009 Iowa — I tailgated and drove home during the game — LOSS
2010 Michigan — I will be in the 717 — you see a pattern here?
I can’t remember any night games prior to 2005, mostly b/c we didn’t schedule many of them because we were aweful. But the streek so far is 0 8pm games won while I was in State College or in attendence, and 2 wins when I was at least 60 miles away. I’m not sure, but I don’t think I’ve ever been in attendence or even in State College for a night game win.
What were some other night games prior to 2005?
McGloin Despite Them

2004 Purdue, 2002 Nebraska, 2001 Miami, after that I don't know.

2002 Nebraska
That wasn’t an 8pm start, I’m sure of it because I was there and we won. Also it was light out when we went into the stadium. Best game I’ve ever been to.
2004 Purdue I was there. It was horrible, I don’t remember if that was an 8pm start though.
2001 Miami I wasn’t there, so that’s one of those that doesn’t fit the trend.

Wikipedia says NU was 8:00 and they actually have a source
I distinctly remember it being dark when the game started.

Nebraska was an 8 pm start, but it was one of the first games of the season.
I was so drunk I was hungover by halftime. I was in the North Upper Deck and started feeling sick from the stadium shaking.
My mantra worked.
2002 Nebraska
It was definitely an 8 pm start. I think it was little a little light out when the game began.

2004 Purdue
may have ended in the dark, but it started at 4:30pm.
Bonus – all but forgotten historical fact:
That game was the first ever white out in Beaver Stadium. Most people think that OSU 05 was the first, but they’re wrong. Just like the OSU 05 white out, it was organized by the Athletic Department and student section only.
Hopefully combined with
my negative mojo also being confined 6 hours away we will be doing PSU a great service.
Oh, we got both kinds. We got country AND western
Where were you in '82?
The first time the lights were turned on the Beaver. They trucked in those awful temporary lights for Nebraska that year and they had strange effects like distorting the sidelines.

Oh, hell yeah
You know how some of your crispest memories are from childhood? I was 11, brothers were 10 & 8, and our grandfather (the one who played for Rip Engle in High School) had read about the night game and them bringing in lights and told us all about it in advance of the game. Once he did, it pretty much undercut any notion my mom had of not allowing us to go to that late a kickoff, cuz we were talking about it for weeks. Plus, Pa already had the tickets. I remember making our familiar climb to WJ row 77 that night and just staring and staring at those lights. We had checked out the huge wheels and the carts they were mounted on on our way into the stadium, and I remember how weird the field looked down there. Then Kirk Bowman happened.
I’m a pretty happy person and have a host of fine memories. That night was one of the best of my life.
The Indiana Hoosiers: a poor (and less arrogant) man's Michigan
Reason we lose.
No Devlin
HITS
Oline
My rent is too damn high
My mortgage is too damn high
Elmo is the devil…just saying
Hire Mike Pettine Jr!!!!!!!!
Elmo probably caused that pooh-eat-puke incident on your white carpet

RUTS
His boy M1EK was all like “Hey, RUTS, people at BSD are making fun of you.” And RUTS was all like “I don’t care what goes on there. Mumble Mumble Mumble.” And then M1EK called me a crazy homer.
Good enough reason for me.

Whatever homer, go drink your blue kool aid, and worship at the idol of Joe Pa...something like that?
I think being a Mod/Editor at such a popular site like BSD can be overwhelming, the traffic on here can be insane…add on the extra BS from SBN…he was happy for new adventure.
Hire Mike Pettine Jr!!!!!!!!
The funny thing is that M1EK is probably reading this.
So he’ll tell RUTS I and other homers were making fun of him or something.

Hey.
She’s not half-bad if she doesn’t open her mouth and start with the strange noises she emits in recordings.
