I'm starting to think our desire to be "balanced"
has killed us over the years.
We aren’t prolific at running the ball.
We aren’t a high flying passing team.
I think it shows.

Is Chaz Powell seriously our best offering?
He’s horrible at defense.
I think he has been very solid.
That was not a good showing. Joe did say he had “mental lapses” on D.

At least I give McGloin props
you don’t see those in McGloin camp saying Bolden can do ANYTHING
John has a long moustache
I've said all along I like Bolden and think he is the future

Meh.
Galen has been bad, but the pass play calls have been ok. McQuery isn’t going to help the receivers catch balls when they are wide open streaking down the field.

I'm not upset.
I’ll tell you what, I really saw this coming. I think our recent results against this team have been clouding our judgment.
This is a good MSU team, and we are too young and inconsistent.

We don't do anything particularly well, except not get penalties...

I am calm
calmer than at any point this season. Bolden may never see another snap at Penn State, so there’s nothing to argue
John has a long moustache
you know that's not true
you are acting like a 10 year old who didn’t get his way. I agree that Bolden should see some time, but you’re “oh, that’s fine, I don’t want the ice cream any more, it probably tastes bad anyway” act is just very passive aggressive

basically what I'm saying is
just stick with your original schtick
by The JuggerNitt on Nov 27, 2010 2:18 PM EST up reply actions
Maybe in garbage time of this game
but McGloin has now proven he’s not the chosen one… if Bolden’s not in now, why would they ever put him in again. Time to get behind McGloin as the starter for the next few years
John has a long moustache
Nope
He might be done. Jones by many accounts could beat him out next year
John has a long moustache
well if that's the case
then who cares if he sees snaps this year?

So where is the spark
that McGloin supposedly added?
When Bolden was in, I never felt confident getting a 3rd down.
Now, I’m starting to feel the same way.

glad to see bani showed up
for his last game ever. though he did let multiple RBs run around him.
I don't think anyone here has said (this game) that McGloin is our best option.
I just see a lot of people being wary of saying that Bolden would obviously do better, that’s all.
And, yes, I would have put in Bolden this drive. But, whatever.

McGloin isn;t able to throw a pass beyond 15-20 yards with ANY consistency
that’s his problem
Hopefully he'll develop a bit into next season
he’s not a bad QB… No worse than Seneca
John has a long moustache
I'm being serious
McGloin’s going to stay in, get the win, be the miracle boy… it’s going to happen… you know it as well as me. They had NO reason to keep him in, which is exactly why he’s going to win it. McGloin despite them
John has a long moustache
I don't know what your attitude is all about,
and I’m a Bolden guy. But I hope you’re right. If he’s going to win, then I don’t want to see Bolden.

you are being nonsensical
“McGloin is obviously better, otherwise Bolden would be in. He’s at least as good as the worst starting QB in at least the past 20 years of PSU football, but Mills just happened to be better…of course that was back when the younger, better kid got to play (implying that we are not currently playing the younger, better kid)”
At least be consistent with your passive aggressive digs

i hate to be captain hindsight...
but if we ask for a review on that fictitious 3rd down conversion, we could be looking at 1 possession game…
I am just surprised it was called for a first down to begin with
and then MSU got their play off too quickly…probably caught PSU off guard, too :-\

to be back in this.
The bad news-Michigan State is good at running.
