New Years Eve at Times Square - 1989 to 1990 - from CBS! (via videoholiccollection)
Penn State may be trying to recover from its hangover due to a shellacking at Michigan the other night. What better of a way to cure that hangover though, than by facing a Northwestern team whom they have won the last six meetings against? Speaking of Northwestern and hangovers, skip to the 1:29 mark in the video above to see famed Northwestern alum Brent Musburger in what is likely his sloppiest recorded moment, ever. Pure television gold, I tell you.
Before you get cozy with the thought however, of PSU getting back on the winning track, Eric cautions in his preview from yesterday that there's a very good chance that winning streak could come to an end tonight in Evanston.
Tip off is at 7:00 PM ET and you can catch it on TV via ESPNU. Otherwise, you can listen to Steve Jones and Dick Jerardi call the action on the radio (Sirius Channel 113, XM Channel 190, or one of these local affiliates). Also, new year, same open thread rules: No porn, no derogatory comments that you wouldn't dare say in public (or to someone's face), and no links to illegal TV streams.

Is this coming out of left field? First I've heard of it...

I think it just posturing.
Making it look like something is getting done. I really do believe that they have someone already.
a red herring to take attention off the real prospect?
Is Joyner that clever?

USA Today said it was almost a done deal this morning
Since then every other media outlet is just repeating that same story, which at the moment seems to be complete speculation.
I have a feeling it’s BS, but who knows.
Not sure I'd agree that he has a better record
Also, for what it’s worth Joyner is denying this.
Charlie Weis Part II?
without the fat of course

Just based on looks
he doesn’t look promising

From what I've seen, his only success was with the Pat's
And we’ve seen how Patriots OCs have done after leaving NE.
Most of his college coaching seems like something you’d try to omit from a resume. I believe Duke went 1-22 with him as offensive coordinator and averaged only 15 points per game.
Pretty much my feelings
If he ends up being the guy then to me it says that either:
1. This job is REALLY toxic
2. The committee just decided to give PSU fans the finger.
Yeah, if it's BIll Belichek then I'd be elated
Other than that, Pat’s coaches just seem to be riding Belichek’s coattails

If you watched a Football Story (I'm guessing you didn't)
Belichick and Brady sit in his office alone and review tapes and draw up plays. Weis, McDaniels, OBrien have never had a seat at the table.
OBrien was QB coach during a season after McDaniel left, and BB didn’t name him OC. He left the OC position officially vacant. Sound like the guy you want coaching your team?
Leaders Co-Champions
You mean Belichick or O'Brien?
Belichick I guess yes. O’Brien? My gut says no.
by Mr. Rosewater on Jan 1, 2012 7:42 PM EST up reply actions
OBrien.
Do you want the guy whose head coach chose VACANCY over him for his OC for a period of time? And then one preseason after tons of questions, gave him the title by basically going, “Oh, yeah, I guess you could say Billy is our O coordinator.”
If you said I had to pick a former BB
Leaders Co-Champions
If you said I had to pick a former BB OC,
I would take Weis. That’s how sad it is. At least Weis is an accomplished author.
Leaders Co-Champions
Ah, gotcha
I seriously just heard of this news. Kind of surprising.
Hopefully it’s just Joyner leading the mothership astray.
by Mr. Rosewater on Jan 1, 2012 7:46 PM EST up reply actions
Not necessarily.
Yeah, he’s teh suck. But any of his “good” games in his career have been against defenses exactly like Houston’s. So there’s some hope.

They're alright
They still lack the rebounding and post play needed to get over the NCAA Tourney hump.

This NW team
looks like a collection of some Eastern European mafia goons.
by Mr. Rosewater on Jan 1, 2012 7:47 PM EST up reply actions
These idiots at ESPN
are going to look SO dumb when O’Brien isn’t coaching Penn State.

I COME TO MAKE FUN OF NORTHWESTERN'S STUPID PURPLE COURT.
But it’s kind of nice. They almost went with an all-purple everywhere look.
I can't stand it
The purple looks like it was filled in with crayons
That's what I kind of like about it.
I like that they kept the lines of the hardwood flooring instead of just dumping purple paint everywhere.

Fans put down their books
and now are making some noise
Well...
This has swiftly turned into a giant clusterfuck.

Sometime
I want to root for the team that gets the calls FOR them
never seems to happen though.
Score?
Wait, I assume we lost…nevermind

Well, this hurts.
Unfortunately, we’d better get used to this night and night out. Until a couple other guys besides Frazier, Marshall, and Woodyard step up scoring-wise, results like tonight’s will be the norm. Hopefully Trey Lewis and Ross Travis can be those guys.
Really though, defense was abysmal in the second half, which is what helped spark Northwestern’s run to put this one out of reach.
