School is not cool.....But PSU football is!

This is the proposed makeup schedule for all the class we've missed, courtesy of Hurricane Wilma:

Monday classes will be made up on Monday, November 28

Tuesday classes will be made up on Tuesday, November 29

Wednesday classes will be made up on Saturday, November 5

Thursday classes will be made up on Sunday, November 20

Friday classes will be made up on Sunday, November 13.

In short this sucks. However, PSU football is awesome! PSU matches up against Purdue this weekend. I will recognize that Purdue has been strugg-el-ling in Conference play. It is very important, as we learned against Mich., to look past the record and see the quality of the football team. PSU should still win, and hopefully win big, but it is critical for Penn State to come out fired up and ready to play. Joe knows Purdue is still a dangerous football team and he should be able to impress that upon the guys. Hopefully, the team benefited from a blow out in Illinois and the starters are a little recharged physically and Emotionally! GO STATE!!! BEAT PURDUE!!!!

Arrested....

Being arrested is fun!

Wilma

Mere and I were planning on going to Tampa to visit Mere's parents this weekend anyway so we are sticking with our plans now that Hurricane Wilma seems headed this way. Thats where we'll be and here is the latest position and prediction for Wilma

Next week, the Illinis

Next week PSU travels to Illinois to face what is a down football team. Odds are Penn State will outmatch Illinois on both sides of the ball. However, this game will be changed for PSU because of the season ending injury suffered by, my mainest-man D-Will. Because Williams will be sitting for at least the rest of the regular season it is important for the other receivers to become adjusted to their new roles in the offense. A road game against Illinois is a good way to get these guys used to filling whatever new roles the coaching staff has for them before the final tests of the season are upon PSU. These receivers are young and talented but it is important to get them comortable before we play Purdue, Wisconsin, and Mich. State.
Hopefully it isn't an insanely close taxing game. Penn State is coming off a tough loss at Michigan and could use a win that isn't a taxing, emotional struggle, that goes right down to the wire. Not to say the kids at Penn State shouldn't be ready to play and bring their A-game, but rather that hopefully Penn State will get on top early and take care of business to avoid further draining the team emotionally. This game will hopefully get PSU some more experience, a bit of an emotional break, and most importantly a W.

This Pic is old but awesome!

Michigan fans

Apparently my blog has become a Mecca of sorts for Michigan fans to come and post comments, dreamed up in their fever-addled brains, about Penn State and myself. Its encouraging to know that Michigan fans have the time and the inclination to visit my humble site. This is probably because there isn't much else to do as a Wolverine fan considering the fact that their team already has 3 losses. There is also a good chance of being handed 2 more. Most of the posts involve some sort of extremely clever turn of phrase: "sword loser", "maize and blue you away". All of these, I think is awesome! They also seem to focus on sticking things up asses, probably mine. which is cool i guess. So please continue to visit my site, and read about the greatest football team in the world, the Penn State Nittany Lions! With the greatest head coach of all time, Joseph Vincent Paterno. With the Greatest Fans and student section in the world!

PSU 6-1

Well, the shot at the undefeated season is over after a heart-breaking loss in Ann-Arbor (a whore). This is probably the most difficult loss to swallow since PSU lost to Minnesota in '99. The game, however, was awesome. after a defensive struggle in the first half there was an explosion of offense in the second half. However, PSU suffered a major loss when D. Will broke his arm in the 4th quarter. he is out for the year. which sucks, since it is pretty clear he is the best wide receiver on the team.
My objections to how the game ended are few but important. it was, in retrospect, a real mistake to kick the ball to breaston w/ 53 seconds left. just a mistake. his lengthy return really set up the game winning drive. Next, the refs not reviewing that fucking catch where the Mich. wide receiver clearly stepped out of bounds. There is video review for a reason. this is especially raw because the booth had just reviewed a catch by Penn State. I mean, neither of them were catches but why wasn't it reviewed? if it is close refs you have to give time for a video review. other than that i'm just surprised that the Penn State D let Mich. go down the field like that.
Finally, the game was great. PSU is now ranked 12th, not too shabby. With a patsy next week in Illinois and then back to the big boys against Purdue, Wisconsin, and then at Mich. State to end the year. The loss is hard but PSU is still having a great year and i'm looking forward to PSU crushing the lowly illini.

P.S
I'd like to resond to some of the posts by Michigan fans: First of all, nothing can make an Ohio State fan look classy. nothing. Second, it was a great game, and if it weren't for Mich.'s whining for more time, and clearly getting some generous calls including: calling a catch out of bounds a catch, over-looking a fumble, and generally homer-fucking-tastic refs. PSU would have won. Eat hatred Mich. I look forward to our next meeting in the greatest football town in the world, and the BEST PLACE TO TAILGATE IN THE NATION! you feckless douchebags. Big house my ass!

michigan predictions

After looking at what the best and worst minds in college football have to say about PSU and the wolverines i have made, what i'm sure will be, an astoundingly accurate prediction for the game today. It is critical for Penn State to come out with the same intensity on the road that they had at home last week. A big road win, and don't be mistaken this would be a big road win, will go a long way with pollsters and will answer the few remaining questions about Penn State.

The yellow areas are those where the Penn State game will be broadcast. not bad for a team who started the season unranked! Keep the balll rolling baby!

Anyway, to the predictions!

JB says:
PSU: 24
Mich: 10

are you fucking kidding me?

I just checked the line on next weeks Penn State game and the damned thing has michigan as a favorite by 3 points! This is a slap right in the face! I'll easily grant that michigan is not a bad football team just because they are 3-3, they are definitely the best 3-3 football team in college football, however, Penn State is undefeated. Penn State just beat two ranked teams in back to back weeks, one of them in the top ten. I mean, come on!

If i had any money with which to gamble i'd be betting big time on Penn State! Go State, Fuck Michigan! (and the odds makers!)

The above picture is what daddy wants to see next week!

PSU linebackers

"The crowd was unbelievable. I can't even describe it," an obviously overwhelmed Dan Connor said after the game. "Not to sound corny, but the atmosphere of this game, I've never felt anything like it, my heart was almost stopping I was so excited to just play for these fans. In their tents all week, it's raining out, but they stay there so they can get good seats. This university is unbelievable."

That is awesome! Its good to have you back Dan! Go State!

Eat it osu!

It was a sign, beating osu is yet another sign....of Penn State's Awesomeness!!!!!! Lets go State, Beat Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PSU IN THE TOP TEN!

PSU is catapulted into the Top Ten!
I also don't want to hear anything else about how the best linebackers in the country are at osu. THEY ARE AT PSU! aka Linebacker U!!!!!

PSU is Back! and it is awesome!

Best Studen Section in the country!

Herbstreit said it! see it here!

PSU is better than your team!

PSU is 6-0! It is clear that PSU deserves a top ten ranking after defeating all of their opponents including a solid Minnesota team, what used to be considered a dominant osu team, and what can only be called a good to very good North Western team. PSU IS BACK! That is the only way to describe it.
Again, those of you who question/ed Joepa i would like a public apology from. Lets see what more googling turns up:

Please eat hate, all of you!

The game!

Gameday was awesome, however, both Herbstriet, and Corso (a pig-fucker) picked osu. I am in complete disagreement with the Homer and the Turd! Herbstriet attended the worst college on earth. The graduates that I have met who attended osu have barely been able to read! See Carlos, Andy Katzenmoyer. Corso is just a dirty pig-fucker. Thats it.

The weather in Happy Valley is terrible. It is going to be wet and sloppy and it will put make it very difficult for either team to make big plays. Both Defenses are strong but I remain stalwart in my prediction of PSU: 27 osu: 24!

My plans for the rest of the day involve watching football, and stockin up on some Lager! WE ARE! PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Predictions....

There has been a lot of picks, predictions, and prognostication about the PSU osu game. Tony Pittman says: PSU: 14 osu: 10, SI.Com sticks together to pick osu in two articles; here, and here. As for me, I predict: PSU 27 osu: 24. LETS GO STATE!

Paternoville!

It is affectionately known as Paternoville, and I love it! GO STATE, BEAT THE BUCKEYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Finals!

PSU has made it to the final round of the tailgate challenge! It is PSU pitted against the home of the Buffalo Bills. The vote is tight so go vote for old State Here!

PSU Fans Hunger!

There are reports of students camping outside of Beaver Stadium. Thats right, they are camped outside of the stadium right now in order to get front row tickets to saturday night's game against the fuckeyes. If you think Penn State fans haven't been hungering for a good team and for that team to play in big games, you are sorely mistaken. The stadium is going to be loud and the hype is already there! Lets go State!

Vote PSU!

The tailgating challenge continues! Help beat LSU! GO STATE!

PSU is 5-0

Ok, i just think its time to get one thing straight; PSU is back! After a 4-0 start most people pointed to this weeks Minnesota game as a true test for Penn State. Most of the talk centered around Lawrenece Maroney, and his prowess at running the ball and breaking the will of whatever defense he faced. "Oooh Maroney is soooo good!", "Good luck stopping Maroney!" I heard both more then once in the last week. For those of you who didn't catch the game, apparently, PSU has pretty good fucking luck! Check out the box score! Maroney managed to eek out 48 yards in 16 carries. Penn State controlled the ball and the game from whistle to whislte and generally dominated Minnesota in every meaningful aspect of a football game. Minnesota was the hot new pick coming out of last weeks win over Purdue, clearly it MUST BE PSU NOW!

I also have some stern words for various people, who will be named, that called for Joe Paterno's retirmenent. The said the game passed him by. An old dog can't learn new tricks. I have one thing to say: GO FUCK YOURSELVES! If you were a Penn State fan and you wanted Joe to retire i think you can go right to hell. He is the greatest coach of all time and you were too fucking stupid to see it!

Idiots who wanted Joe to retire:
