PrintNine year old and pajama-clad me went completely off his rocker when he saw this. I'm sure you guys had a similar reaction, but with probably at least 35% less child-like innocence.
Wait, for real? Indiana? AnnArbor.com conducted a poll of players at Big Ten Media Days and got some interesting answers. The highlights include:
- Indiana is apparently the dirtiest team to play against in the Big Ten. I know, right?
- Dan Persa is the most underrated player. Being underrated while also having a Heisman billboard campaign is tough to do, y'all.
- Beaver Stadium is the toughest place to play in the conference.
- Only two in ten respondents have ever husked corn.

Ki-Jana's TD run
is probably one of the most under appreciated big plays in college football history.
I mean, geezus, on the FIRST PLAY?!?!
A Garden State Nittany Lion...
It's so amazing
he stumbles, regains his balance as he gets hit, shrugs off the tackle and a couple more arm tackles, then hits the jets and takes it to ludicrous speed in a second so that no defender is within even 10 yards of him for the rest of the run. Outstanding.
I'm on the Internet cause I'm an Internet thug.
I think the stumble was the key to that run.
I think that’s what enabled him to break the first tackle attempt. He was still low from the stumble, thus the attempt hit him on the shoulder pads instead of probably the waist and as a result he ran through it.
People ignore the fact that Oregon's defense was
stout that year…Chad Cota played one hell of a Rose Bowl and so did Jeremy Asher. The fact that PSU hung 38 on them and called the dogs off is much more impressive than people think.
I was only 7 at the time, so I hadn't grasped the significance at the time
but this was the first PSU game I watched (my dad had gone with his best friend from PSU to see the game in person).
In hindsight, we would have destroyed Nebraska.

As great as it was on TV, it was even better live!
I was at the game with my family and 5 or 6 other alumni families. Oregon fans had the half of the Rose Bowl closer to where the play started, and Penn State had the other half of the stadium.
I remember seeing the snap at the other side of the stadium, then a whole lot of action at the line of scrimmage, then Ki bursting into the clear and running in for the touchdown, smack into the middle of 50,000 screaming Penn State fans.
I’ll never forget that play for as long as I live.
Every play
I honestly expected PSU to score every time they touched the ball, so the fact that KJC went 84 yards on the opening play wasn’t really a big surprise to me.
Nothing like having unreal expectations, then having the team deliver.

You can get it at Giant, for crying out loud.
Now, have you grown corn? If you haven’t, then you’re not a real man.

you can husk in store, they have waste bags so you can check what you buy.
You should check out Hess farms on 316 south of c-burg. their corn is great this year though I’ll be hiiting the old guy on Boyer Mill rd next week.
My grammer skills need improved.
I have, too.
In-laws have a farm so I’ve done a lot of farm tasks. I actually enjoy it….makes me feel like I’ve actually accomplished something.
Anyway, Serendipity corn is the best. You can argue, but I’m not going to listen or change my opinion. Oh, and I can’t eat any corn other than home grown freshly picked now. I’ve been spoiled. I guess I can do farmers market or side of the road corn (it’s still not as good, though), but no way can I do store bought ears or cans or frozen bags. Those days are long over for me.
If I want "traditional" corn, I buy traditional corn.
People nowadays are too demanding of “super sweet” corn, what are they, Southerners? Bah! Give me Silver Queen.

To the best of my experience, cornmeal has very little to do with the sweetness. Southerners don’t like sweet cornbread, so they don’t put sugar in it.

Non-Conference game
Between Oklahoma and FSU, and FSU is received tons and tons of hype this season.
Oklahoma plays @Florida State week 2
Probably the only game for either team where they won’t be favored by 6+ all year.
I don’t think either team is anything special, but they have very manageable schedules.

I once got into an interweb argument with an FSU fan
who was claiming that the ACC was far and away a better football conference at the time FSU joined it than the Big10 was when Penn State joined. I’m still scratching my head over that one.

Last night I had dinner with a co-worker who lives in Champaign (is that spelled wrong? It looks wrong)
His son lost a leg in Afganistan, and while he was at Walter Reed Zook came and visited him. He has since had him as his guest at Illini games and has “been very good to him”. Co-worker says he is a really nice guy, but needs better people skills. He also agreed with me that Zook lacks the ability to be a head coach but does some things well, like recruit. How you do that with poor people skills is beyond me.

Also, it is no longer possible for Dan Persa to be underrated as everyone seems legally bound to say, “Dan Persa, who is a truly great quarterback” whenever they mention him.

Been to Florida about 15 times...
The awesome thing about Global Warming is that Florida and it’s 11 lbs insects will be swallowed by the ocean…and I hate golfing in 100 degree heat…and I hate watching football in any weather over 65 degrees. Went to a game down there a few years back and it was 95 degrees—literally, I thought I was in hell.
I’ll give you FLA from January 15-March 1.
You gave bonus points for Disney, Sea World, and Universal? Have you ever been to those places?…I also mistakenly thought I was in hell at those places. Hurricane season could be more reasonably considered a bonus point.
I see what you did there.
But to get a little technical, nothing actually ‘sucks’ in the why you describe. What actually is happening is that a fluid (say water) is being pushed from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. So therefore, Florida sucks more than Georgia which is why the St. Johns flows north. Florida is blowing the suck to Georgia
I love Florida.
I just spent almost two weeks there and wish I lived there permanently (in a coastal town).

Florida
Minus points for crappy schools, too many bugs, poisonous snakes and bugs, alligators, and being too hot to be outside 3 months of the year
Copperhead, Massasauga, and a Timber rattlesnake
And it’s a pet peeve of mine, but the correct term is “venomous”, not poisonous. Poisonous means an excreted toxin, like a poison dart frog, poison ivy/oak/sumak, etc. If the animal uses a delivery system other than touch or ingestion to introduce a toxin, like a fang or spine, they are venomous.
I’ll shut up now.

I'd like to have two Armies -- one for display, with lovely guns, tanks, little Soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals and dear little regimental officers, who would be deeply concerned over their General's bowel movements or their Colonel's piles; an Army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the REAL ONE, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the Army in which I should like to fight.

I have snakes, but I'm smart enough not to purchase or keep ones that can reach that big
I do what’s called “research” before I bring a pet home. Which is why I have three corn snakes and a Ball python (all in the 4-6ft range).
It infuriates me when idiots think they can keep a Burmese (probably the most prevalent of the introduced species in Florida), reticulated python, or anaconda in their homes only to realize when it gets to be 10+ feet long that they can’t house it or afford to feed it anymore, so they let it go in the wild, where it has no natural predators.
Those are the kind of people I could care less if they get bitten or constricted by their own starving python, just for my own satisfaction of knowing that for that one moment, when over a hundred half-inch, needle-sharp teeth are gripping into them or they’re running out of breath as 15 feet and over a hundred pounds of pure muscle are slowly tightening around their chest, they realize how stupid they are.

An old frat brother of mine during my college years
had a king snake that he kept in his room. I think it was about 4 or 5 feet long. He used to give that thing a bath every week, but it didn’t matter…it still smelled like road kill. Just disgusting.
Classic Western Pennsylvania.
Just classic.

it was a reference to those people I know that think the snake actually has “feelings” for them. Come to think of it, the snakes are probably smarter than those people.
I once knew a girl who used to sleep with her python, like it was cuddly dog and actually enjoyed her company. F**KED UP!
