Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

The Rules to the Official JoePa Presser Drinking Game


I have always loved Joe Paterno's weekly press conferences. Even when I can't watch them, I always eagerly await the transcripts. I just KNEW there were certain things that Joe was going to say every week. We have a "good" or "darn good" football team, or at least we're on our way there. The other team is good and so-and-so who plays for them is a heckuva football player, etc. We occasionally get new information. We usually get stories (at least one). About once a season we get an allusion to the Iliad or Odyssey.

So I've been ruminating on this idea for years, but first expressed my wish to create this last week. I want to start a JoePa Presser Drinking Game. But since I am lazy and busy at the same time, I don't want to scour the pressers and put all of the hard work into determining who should drink when and how much. So I'm asking for your help. Post your ideas and we'll incorporate them into a set of rules.

P.S. I hope that Joe doens't get mad about this. I hope he realizes that it's a very sincere form of flattery.

P.P.S. I hope I'm not violating the family friendly status of BSD too much! If so, take this down, Mike.

You start drinking and don't stop until some trigger makes you stop

in most drinking games you go down the line and once the person before you stops, you can stop. Not sure how it would work here if you were by yourself though.

i meant as a trigger to stop if playing alone

also, as noted by jtothep, youre not drinking alone if george thorogood is playing. in college we always drank until the person who started stopped. it sucked when the first guy had beer and you had a mixed drink

Waterfall

Everyone starts drinking together, once a designated person stops then the person to their left can stop, once that person stops the person to their left can stop….and so on.
You shouldn’t be playing drinking games alone, unless it is to get up the ballz to tackle a nut.

Drink

When Joe says Player X has a groin/leg/head/neck/etc but DOES NOT say “injury”.

That's common sportspeak

Reporters say it all the time.

"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."

Shot of Old Grand-Dad

if he mentions his grandkids. Or one shot per grandkid present at the presser.

We need to spread these around some.

Like, player to your left drinks on this one, Player to your right drinks on that one. Socials for key phrases, etc. Or maybe we need to spread some of these around by BSD screen names. BMAN13 drinks every time Joe says got or get licked, Illegal Formation for “I really couldn’t tell ya,” and jtothep just takes off a piece of clothing during each answer.

as long as I don't have to play the game with jtothep

I wish I wasn’t at work everytime he has a pressor, this would be fun. I could use a couple hours of my rusty use or lose leave but I try to save it for other drunken occasions. Still have over 80 hrs to use before now and the end of the year.

I'm in
  • Drink one shot of whiskey if he references a recruit he tried to get come to Penn State back in the 50’s through 70s.
  • Two shots if he’s from a steel town outside of Pittsburgh or a coal region town in NEPA
  • Chug 5th of whiskey if the story about a recruit he tried to get from McKeesport in 1965 but lost to Pitt due to an outbreak of the Spanish Influenza has NOTHING to do with the question the reporter asked.

Drink every time he says

“I enjoy what I do and I dont know what else I would be doing”

by PSUBarge on Sep 22, 2010 7:51 PM EDT reply actions  

Chicks drink

Every time he says “excuse me ladies” and follows with some mild curse word.

by SarcasmJam on Sep 22, 2010 7:59 PM EDT reply actions  

Point at player of choice and make them drink

Every time he says “I don’t know, you’d have to ask him” when he’s asked what he thinks the other coach is going to do or what the other coach thinks about something.

how bout you just sit down and drink is much

as you can from start to finish of his presser …who needs rules? just sit down and pound as many as you can haha

by jman07 on Sep 22, 2010 8:41 PM EDT reply actions  

Because this way is so much more fun

And you get the same result! Plus, if you tape the pressers, you can play this at any time!

Well, I don't drink...

but I imagine my roommate wouldn’t be averse to a drinking game (given how he got abso-BLEEPING-lutely destroyed two weeks ago, wound up with a BAC of .23 well on his way to a .3, and ended up with about $2,000 worth of detox and a $220 ticket for guess what?)

Underage drinking.

It’s at this point that I have to say “Dumbass”. You don’t do that. You just don’t. He’s lucky to be alive after that junk…

That would have been amazing, but no.

He’s too YOUNG to drink. Oh, for 30 year-

Wait. Wisconsin sucked 30 years ago and Penn State wasn’t a member of the Big Ten. Oops.

Looks to me like all my fellow BSD'yins have it pretty well covered

- only one that comes to mind is to drink when ever the reporter asks a question & Joe does his ‘high-pitched:’ " I – I – I don’t know…ask me a football question; not a question about me…"

Really more of a drink for when ever the question draws out the high-pitched “I – I – I…response.”

Consolidate list to 10 or so simple rules .. make into this years (or next) white out shirt .. or at least a t shirt, probably won’t make an official white out shirt since it isn’t so family friendly .. but wahey .. some of us are old enough :P

A shot for that?

You’d be on the floor before the conference was even halfway through.

In all likelihood?

Someone would be prostrated before a toilet before the conference was halfway done. Not that I would know from experience (my family’s never been particularly good with alcohol, and despite my size I’d know I’d push my luck too far…). And getting that drunk is NEVER fun. Ever.
