Joe Pa wants to eat your childrenIt's been a long time since we've had a week worthy of good ol' HATE status. Some things to keep in mind:
- State College is too country. Always will be.
- Joe Paterno is destroying the program, is unable to recruit and needs to retire.*
- Penn State fanboys will giggle at this photo no fewer than 350 times this week.
* Not really. But that kind of talk is the quickest way to drive Penn State fan into a fit of anger.
Comments
I can attest to that third bullet point after spending some time browsing Penn State forums. It is uncanny how they reference that picture in any topic regarding Ohio State (or even football for that matter).
I still don't understand what is so amusing about the picture. A player upset on the sidelines - is this the first time this has happened? And the constant "Cryor" comments are just as perplexing. How does someone deduce from that picture that he was crying? Man, they really need to get over the fact that he chose us over them. Its getting very petty and pathetic.
(To continue the hate: Lets see how many bathroom breaks Paterno needs this game. Or does he wear a diaper now?)
Let's get hate week started right, but Remembering the Alamo:

Matt, that is some bullshit. PSU oughtta expell those jack asses. I hope to God a Buckeye fan never does any bullshit like that.
To be fair, this was in 2007 and the worst offender was a Pitt student, and I believe he was prosecuted to the fullest extent of State College country-justice law (i.e. he lost at least 3 head of cattle), but I'm pretty sure that there weren't 40 Pitt students at a Penn State frat party chucking beer cans.
Despite Pryor made a big mistake last year running the ball to the outside, I think it would be awesome if this is his coming out party for 300 yards passing and 100 yard rushing. One of those games where he (and the team) rips state penn left and right.

If I'm remembering it correctly, the back story behind this was that the two OSU fans were members of the same fraternity as the Penn State kids at this particular frat party, and the Penn State frat kids actually let them sleep at the frat house on the Friday before the game, but then on the day of the game they all got wasted, and decided to chuck beer cans at the OSU students. Yes, those were full beer cans.
Wait. Now that I watched the video again I think I see a "baby" frat boy running up to an osu fan and dousing him with a cup of beer or something. In frats, you "buy" YOUR friends! "That is the sickest thing I've ever seen!" -Penn State Frat daddy.
Their coach has literally pooped his pants during a game. they can post that pic of pryor all they want, it won't change the fact that, again, their coach has literally pooped his pants during a game.
In short: Jim tressel; wears nerdy clothes, does not poop his pants. Joe paterno; wears huge glasses, does in fact poop his pants.
Also Penn state is my 3rd favorite team in the big ten, which is interesting because their fans are my 2nd most hated. which means I'm usually pretty happy no matter how they do
Despite you fail English, this mythical "Pryor Coming Out Party 2009" is never gonna happen. Dude just isn't gay.
You mean effectively matching his season totals? Ask me about the scUM guy who predicted Minor and Brown were each going to go over 100 yards, with velcro adding another 60. Better odds are he actually does have a coming out party saturday, but only in the sense we discover why sweatervest blindly trusts your best wide reciever to throw the ball. *wink wink nudge nudge*
When your only comeback is about someones spelling and grammar.
Effectively matching his season totals? The hell are you talking about? Pryor has 1500 yards passing and 550 yards rushing. Epic fail, dude.
Gosh, you're so literal. I feel served. Alright, bring your epic 10th ranked in the B10 passing game to happy valley, and I guess we'll see how that works for you, dude.
I'm very jealous your preseason MVP Pennsylvania boy isn't working out so hot, but I feel slightly better our end of season MVP Ohio boy is working out just fine.
I'm not sure what that has to do with my post. You are confusing jealousy with pettiness. Another example of pettiness: PSU fans constantly bringing up that Darryl Clark was from Ohio and you guys "stole" him from us. The only problem with that is that he was 3 star recruit that we didn't covet. And we haven't spent all our waking moments trying to pride ourselves in his failures - the standard coping mechanism PSU fans use for Pryor.
Also, you do realize that Clark only has 200 more total yards of offense and 2 less interceptions than Pryor? This while Pryor plays USC defense and Clark faces the mighty Eastern Middle Tennessee Tech A&M State cupcakes.
I'm not saying that Pryor has been nearly as good as Clark, but lets not try to pretend the gap is as large as you would hope, especially considering Clark is 3 years senior.
I try to avoid getting all homer/pollyanna-ish about this kind of thing, but: let's remember here that it was not, in fact, Darryl Clark that led Penn State to victory in the 'Shoe last year - that was Devlin, because Clark was sitting on the sideline, concussed. And Devlin is no longer a Nittany Lion. And PSU has O-line issues of its own. AND this year's Buckeye defense is harder on QBs than last year's was, not to mention that it's almost certainly better than Iowa's - and we all saw how well Clark dealt w/ them.
So regardless of whether it's a PSU troll here or a PSU homer on one of their blogs, there really can be no reason at all for talking shit about Ohio State's offensive/QB situation - no reason aside from idiocy, that is. Tend to the beam in thine own eye before the mote in thy neighbor's and all that.
Of course, the question of how well OUR offense in general and Pryor in particular will perform against one of the Big 10's two or three best defenses is both valid and open. I am not optimistic. BUT: at least we have the hope/illusion that things will gel, and that TP's light will come on, etc.
Penn State cannot say the same - they KNOW for a fact that their offense is mostly rendered helpless when opposed by a top-of-the-line D.
Damn I hope the frat tossed them too. Brothers for life, huh?
This game will come down to two things:
1. Pryor
2. Turnovers
I hate you choco - get off our site and go date you mom. You got lucky last year. You are retarded.
This game comes down to defense.
Watch the Iowa game! Penn St craps down there leg when they actually face a defense. They scored 10 points on Iowa in Happy Valley.
IOWA = Total Defense 19
Penn State plays the worst schedule 83rd in the country.
Ohio State fans wouldn't waste the beer....
Listen, Penn State has a good football team. This game won't be easy at all. I'm not going to rip their schedule, they have athletes. I do however thing this Ohio State defense is going to be the best they've seen and it's going to cause a lot of problems.
I also feel that the last 2 weeks, and before everyone says against poor competition, Pryor's passing has come a long way. I know he has had some hiccups and not everything has been on the money, but for the most part he looked really good against Minnesota and the 2nd quarter this week his passes were on the money, and when he missed he missed away from the defender where only his guy could make the catch. He is starting to put it together. It will be key to for him to not turn the ball over, but I'm confident that this week his play will be much better.
What I"m worried about is this O-Line that has been knicked up and has a lot of bandaids and bubble gum holding it together.
Clark's next good game against a defense with a pulse will be his first.
You mean that was Devlin that didn't complete a single pass and only handed the ball off and ran?
The vaunted USC defense that let almighty Washington go 21/35? Dizzam. Isn't Eastern Middle Tennessee Tech A&M State the Aggies? Oh, wait. That was you guys last week. Ohio State's next good game against a top 15 team will be their first since 2006.
Hey, your strength of schedule sucks just admit it.
We all know it, you know it...
It's not that big of deal you have won all the
games you should have. well (iowa)
The problem is the fact that you won't admit it!
Rehab: cmon, just say you have a problem!
I like the cut-off at top-15, sweeping under the rug that 37-17 jailsexing we gave you guys (ranked 18th in the country on brand name alone) in HV in '07.
Sorry, you were actually 24th at the time. Still, put together a pair of back-to-back asskickings and start talking, rather than eeking wins out against our most lackluster of teams.
Hmm, I love me some hate.
Also, I think that this game does not get talked about enough, especially in regards to all-time worthy shellackings:
1994: #1 Penn State 63, #21 Ohio State 14
Sure, you were 9-4 that year, but the dude above brought up 2007, in which you were ranked #1 and we lost 4 games. Anyways, a win is a win I suppose.
Well, we are all tied up 12-12 head to head going into this Saturday. If history is your style, I suggest you look into the first ever meeting between our two schools, it is quite a hilarious and entertaining tale.
A briefing via the always reliable Wikipedia(1912 Penn State Football season)
"Undefeated and only scored upon once (6 points by Cornell). This team is known for playing the first of a series of games against eventual rival Ohio State, in which the Buckeyes forfieted because of the brutal play of the Nittany Lions once the score was 37-0. The official score is 1-0, but the gameball lists the score as 37-0."
See ya on Saturday, come by the tailgate, I won't throw beer at you. Just pour it down the gullet and maybe eat some barbecue and talk about how we would all be better people if only we could have the chance to meet Tim Tebow. You can make fun of me about Joe being old, and I'll laugh about him calling your coach "Little Jimmy" You can call me bitter about losing Pryor and I'll reminisce over the picture of Troy Smith standing on his head and the still frame of the "oh shit" moment Pryor had right as Mark Rubin poked the ball out of his hands. Then we can all meet back up here and share fond memories.
Ok, how are there only 20 votes for the kicking game? We missed 4 FG's on sat, and this game could come down to FG's. Granted one of those was 52 yards but it worries me more than the play of TP. JT's game is special teams and we are not good on special teams right now, bad punting and missing field goals will hurt us more than anything the way JT coaches.
Dear God, I hope the mistakes you see up there were literally intended. Wipe your eyes, clear your head, take deep breaths or something. Its right in front of you!!
I don't hate Penn State, but I hate Penn State fans.
I don't waste my hate on something that's "too country."
Any truth to the rumor that the staff is shipping Thad Gibson to State College in a steel cage ahead of the team?
2003, 14,000+ feet above sea level, I'm walking into the summit house on Pikes Peak, south of Denver. What do I see? Roughly 25-30 PSU fans gathered around taking pics wearing their crappy PSU clothes. Me, being the awesome human being that I am, was wearing an OSU hoodie. Needless to say their ignorant asses immediately started talking smack. Keep in mind this is a tourist destination with families all around. I politely inform them that we have recently won a Championship and their coach is old as shit. They do not respond well to this. Long story short, I nearly got into a fight with 25+ PSU fans and have despised them ever since. Aside from the Michigan game, this is the one I want more than anything. Please beat PSU!
What is it about
"... but: let’s remember here that it was not, in fact, Darryl Clark that led Penn State to victory in the ‘Shoe last year – that was Devlin,"
that you have trouble understanding?
Seriously, what a waste. I can't believe someone didn't get shanked over this. You throw a full beer at me and it is go time.
