| | | Big game tonight...having a party!
It's columbus day weekend here where I work, so most of the kids are home until Monday evening. One of the other house fathers is bringing one of his kids over to my place to watch the big Penn State vs. Ohio State game tonight. It's the featured game this Saturday on ESPN.
I have my 42" Plasma warmed up, the snacks ready, and my living room decorated inn PSU stuff. It's been a long, long time since I could get this excited about Penn State football, but they are actually ranked 16th now. 
NCAA football is by far my favorite sport. Other big games on all day as well including Gerogia who I know many of you are fans of here.
LET'S GO STATE!  |

I'll be rooting for Penn State as well. I hate Ohio State, and Paterno is the man.

Although PSU is much improved I don't think they'll win tonight Adam. It should be a good game but PSU hasn't seen a defense like the Buckeyes have. Bucks 27 Lions 13. Joe Pa is the man but Tressel is so much cooler in his sweater vest. Go Bucks!

The bad news: one of PSU and OSU has to win.
The good news: one of PSU and OSU has to lose.

It looks like PSU 17 OSU 10. And PSU takes a knee.

17-10.
KA-CHING! Washed-up who? Oh ye of little faith.
I think Joe may just coach for a few more years yet.
I can't wait for that Nittany Lions/Wish-again game.

I am beyond excited. We have about 15 people in our apartment and it was a lot of fun! After YEARS of being bummed out wondering how PSU could ever be as poor as they were the Nittany Lions are BACK!
ESPN reported that PSU now has the 3rd longest winning streak in the Nation behind only USC and Texas!
Michigan will be tough no matter what but I know PSU can beat them and I am hopeful that they will.  |

PSU's biggest games will be against Michigan State (not Michigan) and Wisconsin. If they can win those, I see no reason why they won't win 10 or 11 games this year.

Michigan State is tough, as is Wisconsin, but Wisconsin gave up over 600 yards against North Western!
600 YARDS!

PSU was much better than I thought they were that's for sure. There defense is very good and played much better then Ohio State's. The Big Ten is very tough this season, right now Penn State looks like the best team in the conference but there are still quite a few games to go. Congrats on the win.

| Now that was a good exciting game. My Dad even called me to make sure I was watching. I was watching the Busch Race and had to repent.

It was exciting if you like a game that all offense and no defense. Score after score after score. I hope Wisconsin plays defense like that against PSU, we may get over 1000 yards!

I just hope Pete Carroll's defense is ready for Charlie Weis' offense on Saturday...

If USC does not go all out against ND, as they have not gone all out against anyone yet this season, ND just may beat them.

| I'm hoping they've just been either (1) Bored, or (2) saving their big guns for the big games, and not letting Weis see to much of their offensive strategy. The playcalling in the last few games has been bland to say the least, and it seems they're just playing to "not lose" and keep the season going. Hopefully, that will change this week (and also against Cal, UCLA, and Fresno State).
