There is actually a Penn State football game today.

I know, it doesn't sound right, but the Penn State University Nittany Lions will be playing the Texas Agriculture and Mining* University Aggies tonight at 8 pm. Damn that took a long time to type. Don't forget to review you "The More You Know" episodes this morning. There will be a test at halftime.


Penn State sold their tickets faster than any other school in the 15 year history of the Alamo Bowl, who says the Big Ten is slow?

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing Royster healthy, the possibility of our offense opening up, Connor and Lee for the last time, the possibility (please!) of seeing Clark and Devin actually throw a pass, a win.

What I Don't Care About: Morelli's last game, "Representing the Big Ten", the 700 different graphics ESPN will show telling us this is Paterno's 500th game

All in all, although this game might not mean much, I am surprisingly very excited just to see them play. It's been a long time, The Jersey has been on the floor too long.



* According to Wikiepdia, which is not even a real source, "A&M" doesn't actually stand for anything. I think this is bullshit. Almost as stupid and naming your kid J Leman.

Agriculture and Mining

Could be worse, I suppose, although I'm still kind of wishing next year would just start already, I'm over Morelli to be totally honest.

A&M finished 7-5 in the Big XII. They finished fourth in their six team division...I'm not really sure what that means but it sounds crappy. Their losses:

Miami on the road, 34-14
Texas Tech on the road, 35-7
Kansas at home, 19-7
Oklahoma on the road, 42-14
Missouri on the road, 40-26

Their best win was at home against Texas.

There will be plenty of time for analysis, but for a team that I know little about they appear to suck. Ya Texas is a decent win but it was at the end of the year and I doubt it meant much to the longhorns. There is also no excuse for losing to Miami this year. They were also totally dominated by the two best teams in their league.

Everyone enjoy the OSU-LSU shameless self promotion over the next month, also the occasional Bulldog-bitching about how they started the week #4 and somehow ended up #5 after the two top teams lost. Fuzzy math to say the least.

Ala-ho Bowl

No, not the Hawaiian kind, the kind that sucks.

December 29th, you bring the bottle, I'll bring the negativity.

Yup, I can't wait to see what equally mediocre Big XII team we match up with this year. I suppose my hopes of the Cap One were a little lofty, but we are saying fuck it (or maybe the Cap One is saying buzz off) instead of seeing how the Illinois/Michigan situation pans out...I still stand by the opinion that we are more attractive than two-loss-in-a-row fell-to-app-state just-lost-their-coach douch-bag-winless-in-bowls-and-other-big-games Michigan.
