Last week I had a little fun at PSU's expense and posted the following:
This Week in Schadenfreude: Penn State
In case you missed it, (and judging by the whole 8 comments, you did) it was modeled after SB Nation's weekly feature by the same name. I made two observations in the above piece which unfortunately proved to be prophetic: 1) Schadenfreude is only fun when it happens to someone else and 2) The Buckeyes are all too often a target of the SB Nation feature. Welp, it's our turn again:

Don't click. It's painful. I'm only going through the trouble of posting this because I feel like I have to reverse the bad karma I may have unleashed on the Buckeyes by taking so much glee in PSU's misery. A better man would have taken the high road and just been satisfied with the win. But no, I had to spend an hour digging through the most deliciously painful comments on Black Shoe Diaries and try to share them with you all. This is my penance. Feel free to DV with extreme prejudice. I deserve it.
On the bright side, the SB Nation article does take a few shots at PSU again this week so that's fun. And surprisingly, they didn't come to our site for any material. I figure the 11W live game thread would have been a target rich environment for schadenfreude but we avoided getting called out. Yay for us I guess.
Moral of the story, don't ever lose by 31 again. And don't gloat. Or don't gloat unless it's against TTUN. Then feel free to gloat.
