Re: Penn State Storms Past Robert Morris

Job well done by the Lions tonight. Now we need Robert Morris to play out the rest of their season like the tournament caliber team they were last year.

I slightly agree about PSU usually stepping up in the bowl season, but last year's Rose Bowl clearly showed that if you are outmatched severely, it is hard to make up significant ground. And that's my fear: that we will be too outmatched.

I totally agree about screwing Iowa out of a BCS spot. That kind of chaos definitely spices things up.

Though Iowa might be more deserving of the at-large BCS spot. Wouldn't it be funny to watch them revolt when the BCS picks Penn State based solely on attendance / TV ratings? Joe Paterno would do his best to have them ready for the bowl game, and I would not object whatsoever if it was in the BCS.

you are right, Michigan is not "ineligible" yet as I may have lead people to believe. A win against Ohio State would make them eligible. If the season ended today, they would be unable to go to a bowl game.

Michigan isn't bowl ineligible yet, nor are they eligible (5-6).

This is one time as a Penn State fan I do not want to go to a BCS game. We are just an above average team, and will likely get stomped. I prefer to avoid the Notre Dame effect (i.e. get elevated to a bowl game you don't deserve and then get trounced).

That is correct. I apologize for the error!

Total yards in your stat summary is wrong - flip-flopped. Correct is OSU - 353, PSU - 201.

You obviously missed the point (and you brought NC State up to begin with). I don't know what a loss to NC State has to do with beating Penn State because if I ask you for your quality win this year, your answer is Temple. Are you proud of that? You can't be any more proud of saying that than Pitt saying they lost to NC State. Make sense now? You beat the teams you should beat AND THAT'S IT. Nothing better. So PSU goes 10-2 and at the end of the year you tell me your best win was Temple. Seriously?!? And you are worried about Pitt's schedule and them losing to NC State? LOL. That argument sounds much crazier to me. That's my point. Hopefully you understand it now.
I don't listen to arguments from Penn State fans that Pitt's schedule is weak because several SOS ratings have yours currently being worse than ours. Pitt's schedule for the remainder of the year is much harder too, so I certainly don't expect you to leapfrog us or remain ahead of us in SOS either. You can throw the weak schedule thing away unless you are going to use it for your own team as well.

"I don't see much difference between your best win being Temple and Pitt losing to a team they shouldn't like NC State."

Um...what? We beat the teams that we should beat, and, this year, have lost to those better than us. You haven't played a team better than yourselves--because your schedule is painfully weak--and have lost, once thusfar, to a flat out bad team. We routed Temple, dude. Do you understand how asinine that argument was?

Re: Gone in 90 seconds! Pittsburgh Panthers wet themselves

Bill S — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:51:07 -0000

I don't think you have to have 10 win seasons to beat Penn State. I don't even think you have to prove you can out recruit your opponent to renew a rivalry (you have to play the game on the field anyways even if someone is getting slightly better athletes). Pitt's knock might be that they lose a game or two each year that they shouldn't (NC State). Penn State's problem is that they generally don't beat anyone good. If you check out computer rankings that rank all Division I-A teams (Sagarin or Billingsley), your best win this year is currently Temple. I don't see much difference between your best win being Temple and Pitt losing to a team they shouldn't like NC State. We'll be ranked ahead of Penn State come tomorrow. The gap between the schools is gone.

psudevon — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:34:14 -0000

I don't mean to belittle Pitt, because you guys seem to be a program on the rise, but let's be honest here. You guys haven't had a 10-win season since 1981. This year, you'll probably have one, so kudos on that. But you also lost to a pretty crappy NC State team, and you've got to admit that most Pitt-PSU recruiting battles go our way. I'd like to see this series restarted, but only if you can prove that this year isn't a fluke amongst 7 or 8 win years.

Re: Gone in 90 seconds! Pittsburgh Panthers wet themselves

Bill S — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:47:36 -0000

"1981" was the PSU rebuttal above. I don't really get why we need to look back to 1981 (like the comment mentions). We'd respond with "2000". If you looked at the trend near the end of the Pitt/PSU rivalry, Pitt had closed the gap on PSU. I think it would be good to restart the rivalry too. As a Pitt fan, I think we'd beat you more often that not (just my opinion) and probably more than most PSU people think.

Re: Gone in 90 seconds! Pittsburgh Panthers wet themselves

psudevon — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:12:14 -0000

Nothing against Pitt, and I mean that, you probably have the best team in the last 20 years right now. But let's be honest, you're a program that has not done much lately, and your attendance has been notoriously poor. I'd love to restart this rivalry, because I think we'd beat you more often than not. If your only rebuttal is to go "1981!" well, what can I say? That was 28 years ago! I wasn't going to be born for almost another decade!

It's funny how you are blind to your own situation. Let's try to stay with facts here, not sarcasm. Who is PSU's impressive win this year? And since when do you judge a team based on their "rich and storied history"? Let's talk about a team's current level of play. That's like saying a win over Michigan last year was a big deal even though the Wolverines went 3-9 (because they have a "rich and storied history"). PSU certainly has no more impressive wins than Pitt does.

"Three – You’re not in the Top 5 and therefore we won’t fold so easily. Sad, isn’t it?"

idk...purdue wasn't in the top 5, and you still folded to them pretty easily.

Re: Behind Enemy Lines: The Ohio State Buckeyes

spjbuckeye — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:12:54 -0000

I think both teams are a little overrated. Both teams have weaknesses but I believe the Buckeyes struggles on the offense will do them in. Penn State is too good on defense and will force Pryor to make some mistakes. The only way the Buckeyes win this is game is if Pryor plays out of this world and Clark stinks it up.

Nice work Devon. John Decce does so much to get Paternoville running smoothly, its hard for the common observer to understand what goes behind the scenes. Great read.

The 2005 Pre-Ohio State Pump Up Video is easily the best one of these ever made. The entire stadium got chills when they played it. It will never be matched.

Brilliant

PSUJETHRO — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:05:54 -0000

Your point about OSU/PSU being for the title or at least with title implications is a good one. With the series tied at 12-12, I expect this meeting to be just as interesting since OSU needs a big win and PSU needs to win big to help stay in BCS bowl-berth range.
