WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF OUR SEASON

















Welcome to the first day of the rest of our season. 

This morning on ESPN's College Game Day, Lee Corso made his pick and put on the Buckeye head.  After hearing Corso and the rest of the Gameday crew play up Penn State's offensive and defensive strengths for two hours, they once again were scared to upset the hometown Columbus crowd and went with the upset in tonight's matchup.

That's like going out with a girl because you know she'll beat you up if you don't.

You can bet the Nittany Lions were watching from their hotel rooms and will use Corso's pick as added motivation. They know the implications of this game.  No matter what they do the rest of the season, they will be second guessed and put down.  Penn State had too many injuries, they weren't supposed to be here.  Penn State had too many off-the-field problems, they weren't supposed to be in this big of a game.  They know the odds are against them, as do us - the fans. However, I feel the Lions have embraced this underdog roll, even has they head into tonight's contest as the favorite.  No one picked them to win it all, or even win tonight - and they like it that way.

Marinate the wings, ice the beer and get that Penn State shirt out of the laundry pile.  It's game day. LET'S GO STATE!

(Also, props to Herbstreet for laughing at Todd McShay when he called Penn State's offensive line decent again....what an idiot)

Actually, McShay stated that the o-line was "overrated" this morning. I guess we'll see whether he is wrong or right after tonite. Regardless, he is, without a doubt, the biggest tool bag on ESPN.
