Screw the Butt-Guys!

Ugh … what an absolute manhandling by Ohio State this weekend. To think, I actually thought we had a chance to be competitive against those Butt-Guys. Unfortunately, Tressel’s boys proved to be much better than the Nits in just about every facet of the game. I’m pretty sure Ohio State could’ve ran the ball on our defensive line all day … instead, they chose to pass as well … with great results. The only way Penn State could’ve competed was if they had Tom Brady at the helm … which they didn’t. Morelli was ok, I guess, but that wasn’t even close to good enough. I guess we might need to start hoping for a bowl game against Rutgers … at least it might be a little interesting.


Next up – Purdue … Go State!

Badger Bludgeoning!

Sometimes, in times of very difficult situations, teams tend to circle the wagons and go out and play for themselves …. This is exactly what JoePa’s boys did against Wisconsin on Saturday. After an entire week of having to answer questions regarding morals and ethics, and whether or not Penn State football is in the business of bringing in thugs in order to win, the team went out and played some smash-mouthed football, focusing its aggression on the suddenly average Wisconsin Badgers, whipping them 38-7, in probably the most decisive and best-played Penn State football game in at least a couple of years.

The offense looked potent. The defense looked rabid. It seemed like nothing that the Nits did could go wrong. This is the type of intensity that they really could’ve used against Illinois and Michigan. Sadly, this team struggles on the road. If only there was a way for PSU’s athletic director to make every game a home-game …. Let’s hope the Lions can break the jinx against Indiana next week. Unfortunately, the Hoosiers have a very mobile quarterback, and this tends to give the Nits fits. Still, we “should” win this game, right?

Go Lions!

Hey, We Won!!!!

Penn State is still undefeated …. AT HOME! After two depressing losses, the Nittany Lions managed to manhandle the woeful Hawkeyes of Iowa. Lost in the game was the inspired running of redshirt freshman Evan Royster. The guy not only ran the ball effectively, but unlike Kinlaw and Austin Scott, he was able to hold onto the ball as well.

Anthony Morelli was very erratic in the first half, but settled down nicely in the second half. The Penn State defense was suffocating as usual. Let’s remember this, though – Iowa may be the worst team in the Big Ten right now, and next week’s game against Wisconsin will pose a bigger challenge.

It should be low-scoring and as long as Penn State finds a way not to turn the ball over, we might have a chance …. PLEASE!!!

Go Lions!

You Idiot!

Don’t know how many of you saw this, but a few nights ago at the Yankees vs. Indians game, LeBron James, basketball star for the Cleveland Cavs … and a guy who grew up not far from Cleveland, had a Yankees cap on at the game, and basically said that he hoped the Indians individually do well, but he hoped the Yankees would win. So much for all of that fan-support that you got in Cleveland, Bron-Bron, you front-running imbecile.

You know, I just expect sports players to be a little smarter than that. Even if he HAD grown up in the Bronx, he probably shouldn’t have been wearing that Yankees cap in Cleveland. What a douche-bag. He has even professed to be a Cowboys fan. Seriously, LeBron, is your favorite hockey team the Detroit Red Wings? Do you wish you were playing for the Lakers? If you had a chance to go to college, would you have gone to Duke? Do you change your favorite sports teams every year, depending on who wins?

Man, I used to like this guy. Now, I can’t stand him. You think his agent almost had a heart-attack that night? So much for all of that local advertising Bron-Bron could’ve made this year. I hope he tears both of his ACL tendons in training camp … then we can see him on the sideline with his New York Yankees three-piece suit. Did I mention I think this guy is a douche-bag?

What does he expect from the Cleveland fans now? Does he think they’ll forget about this? Unless he wins this city 3 championships, I’m pretty sure he’ll be about as popular in Cleveland as Jose Mesa and Ernest Byner (look ‘em up). I thought this guy was very mature for his age … now, I don’t think this guy has a clue what maturity means.

What a slap to the face of the entire city of Cleveland. I hope the Tribe sweeps the Bronx Bombers … then, I’d like to see somebody interview this heaping, steaming, pile of LeBron. My guess is that he’ll backpedal faster than a clown on a unicycle.

LeBron, I think I might like you less than Kobe now. Go figure.
