We have little tranquility but tons of tranquilizers.

The defense is porous.
That’s the type of play we would try once a game, but Mich St. got it to work.

if we can just tackle we could easily win
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
looks like they took a play out of the PSU play book
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
its cause we don't pay our players
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
Neither does OSU and they seem to make out ok.

One player, 7 years ago and he was kicked off the team. Hardly an indictment of an entire program.

"You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
seemed to be for USC
that whole lack of institutional control.
It usually only takes one player to screw things up with violations

But it hasn't been one player at USC...
Bush may be the most recent but there was more than just him during Carroll’s reign there.

Sure, if they want to ignore the facts.

But the facts are multiple players have been linked to taking benefits at USC, where as OSU has one player in the last decade?

it's OK

lets get a first down
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
another muffed return
catch the ball!
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
in his defense he is in there to block
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
tried it and it sucked
I’m still a McGloin homer :-)
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
I would ask the defense to give us a turnover...
but they are having trouble doing their normal tasks.
Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero-or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.-Jay-Z
Can you score any other way?
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
Nothing I respond to this sounds non sexual
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
We need to take a long hard look
at everyone playing during the offseason.
Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero-or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.-Jay-Z
maybe McGloin should go out on d.. then maybe we'd get some insperation.
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
Yay D!!!
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
I wish they would count those plays as fumbles
if you are dumb enough to extend the ball out and drop it, it should be a fumble
awwww crap!!!
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
You gotta be kidding me.

that's 2 for Still today!

if we score here, we get the ball at half
not bad
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
do we not get the ball at half if we don't score here?
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 27, 2010 1:05 PM EST up reply actions
well the way things are going
we differed so the coaches may chose a side to defend in the 4th rather than the ball
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
we get the ball at half
irregardless. =P

Michigan on OSU 1

Uh oh.
I want to see chaos.
…And a Penn State win.

i have a feeling we'll see him next year
in a different uniform
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
unless he drops down a division
not next year. I feel bad for him. Apparently I just don’t like how our coaches are utilizing our quarterbacks
John has a long moustache
i had no expectations for QB's this year
after Clark, everyone would have been a disappointment. i’m quite happy since i had no expectations going in.
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
make sure
sparty has no time if we get stopped. run the clock down and score. a field goal puts us within a td for a tie.

I didn't even see where the ball was
just because it’s a good pass doesn’t mean it’s not ill-advised
Also, if you have quadruple coverage somewhere, you probably have a couple single coverage reads
John has a long moustache
or a couple receivers in the same area
ball should have been caught
Black shoes, basic blues, no names, all game.
I blame Mike Patrick
They want the half to be over so he’ll shut up

We're driving the strugglebus full speed.
3 would at least be a step in the right direction.

he was definitely pushed

i thought so too
but the second look clearly shows him getting pushed off.

Some pretty horrible
balls thrown and decisions by McGloin
McGloin
is looking pretty mortal right now.
Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero-or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.-Jay-Z
he's ALWAYS looked mortal
as Adam says, he throws about 3 or 4 balls a game that should be, by all rights, intercepted, but for some inexplicable reason are not.
Can’t argue with results, though, I guess…

first half Ofail
D was a partial fail

Great stuff
Interesting
How’s the pecan taste to it? Is it a major flavor, or in the background?
Designated "New Thread Is Up" guy.
It's quite an obvious up front flavor
but it blends in perfectly with the roasted malt flavor.
Sorry, I'm going to do it
I want to see if Bolden can do something next half
Sorry guys
John has a long moustache
i think it goes the same
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
save him for the bowl
"Want a donut go to dunkin donuts, want a linebacker go to Penn State." - Chris Carter
I'm sorta with you
in just that it would give us our best comparison of the 2 QBs against the same defense
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 27, 2010 1:20 PM EST up reply actions
The team hasn't played 60 minutes of solid football all year
We’re just sticking with the pattern.
I’m not sure what adjustments they will make, but they need to do something. Go back to running it.
Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero-or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.-Jay-Z
When the running game stopped working
McGloin stopped working… with the running game, so goes McGloin… not always so with Bolden (but very likely)
John has a long moustache
Statistically we're doing just as well as MSU..
but shooting ourselves in the foot.
2010 PSU Football......YOU'RE ALL FIRED
dropped passe,penalties, and poor tackling
is why we are losing
Black shoes, basic blues, no names, all game.
exactly...
it’s the penalties that are killing us
"They say in Happy Valley that if God wasn’t a Penn State fan, why is the sky blue and white?" Fortt said. "Who am I to argue with God?"
McGloin is starting to channel his inner Favre
got lucky on that dropped pick
2010 PSU Football......YOU'RE ALL FIRED
Actually, *this* shouldn't be used against McGloin
he does this every game… you either take it or leave it… it’s that we have three points (which is not usually what he does)
John has a long moustache
disagree, he's exceptionally off today
then again Brackett missed a great throw.

Hasn't shown much in the few plays he was in
but anything different might be good.
by smashtheguitar on Nov 27, 2010 1:27 PM EST up reply actions
he had that one where he ran backwards five yards then gained 6
"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."
-J.V.Pa.
Ah the old Bolden/McGloin argument is showing its head...
I like where this thread is going
2010 PSU Football......YOU'RE ALL FIRED
I think it would be awesome
if you actually had to burn a red shirt… like go out to the 50 and hold it over your head when it’s on fire
John has a long moustache
K NEWSOM CAN'T BE WORSE THAN THIS!
Dark Knight feeling, die and be a hero-or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.-Jay-Z
I don't necessarily think Bolden would be doing better right now
but if the coaches really want good data to make the decision off of, this is as good a time as any to test it out
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 27, 2010 1:28 PM EST up reply actions
And Bolden got yanked for less than this too
He was 3/4 and moving the ball… it was the reverse that stalled the drive where he fumbled
John has a long moustache
Sure it would
But the coaches would rather win this game than figure out who is the better QB for the future

We are auditioning for a New years bowl game
no time to experiment
Black shoes, basic blues, no names, all game.
When did putting on your season's starting quarterback become an experiment?
John has a long moustache
McGloin is still in today because of one 49 second drive
That’s the ONLY reason he’s still in. He hasn’t shown anything more than Bolden
John has a long moustache
but the problem in that logic is that we don't know if Bolden would do any better today
by smashtheguitar on Nov 27, 2010 1:33 PM EST up reply actions
but we could go in circles about it all. Nobody knows who might win this game
All i know is that more than the QB needs to step up.

Its not just McGloin....
everyone is making dumb mistakes.
-Devon Still is hammering punters
-Devon Smith is tripping over himself
-Justin Brown is forgetting to run out of bounds during the 2 minute drill
-Brackett dropped a huge play
And don’t even get me started on the defense and tackling

also..
coaches are intent on running the ball up the middle during a 2 minute drill

I actually had no problem with the playcalling on that final drive
We needed to get away from our own endzone and take time off the clock in case of a three and out. Once we did that, we started taking more shots down field. That’s when poor on-field execution took over.
Designated "New Thread Is Up" guy.
all of those runs were when they were backed up.
Once they got out, they were throwing. But yes, I agree that it was sucky time management.
by smashtheguitar on Nov 27, 2010 1:38 PM EST up reply actions
they ran up the middle on their own 15 yard line
when they got a 1st down they opened it up. I didnt disagree with that particulat playcalling
