BLOGTOBERFEST! PROST!
The finest in today’s assorted bloggery and media-type links:
–Texas A&M may not suck, according to a Texas A&M blogger. Shock, surprise, and a dollar after hearing this will get you a hot dog at Costco.

Nitrates and ground-up pig ass were never so tasty.
–TrojanWire says there’s footage of Brady Quinn dancing as Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas somewhere in this world. We only want it if his Fergie outfit is complete with pee stain.
–Buckeye Commentary gets ribbed by SI On Campus for picking against his Buckeyes. Tell them you were just trying to fake them out in the name of guaranteeing victory–it’s what we do every year with Tennessee.
–Want to see how close that Air Force/Tennessee game was? We mean, see it? Joel’s got his badass flash animations up and running again, and the one from last Saturday’s game looks like the offenses are playing ping-pong from the endzones on this one.
–Building the Dam is already mentioning the Idaho game as a chance to “fire the coach to save the team.” That’s Idaho, the team who plays in the abandoned airplane hangar.
–Did NC State get ska-roooed by a lack of instant replay use? Most people who want Amato fired don’t care anyway, but judging from this…umm, yes. They did.
–A comment by Black Shoe Diaries in their post-mortem of the Notre Dame game confirms that this Charlie Weis fella may have something here:
I want to say one more thing, and this is going to sound like a little bit of sour grapes. But I thought Notre Dame was a little late in calling off the dogs for my taste. I thought it showed a lack of class still throwing the ball and going for it on fourth down twice when you’re up by 31 points in the fourth quarter.
You mean we have to have a definite opinion on Charlie Weis now? And we have to like him, too? Say what you may, but he’s no Bobby Petrino. How about going for it on 4th and 4 when you’re up by 35, then? Against Temple?

Are they still out there? Fine. Keep passing.

nice BDM. let’s hit 1995 vs. Rutgers
Leading 38-27 in the 4th. Penn State throws three touchdowns for their highest scoring quarter of the game to finish them off 59-34. The final TD pass came with under a minute left in the game.
From the USA Today archive:
“Penn State head coach Joe Paterno and Rutgers coach Doug Graber exchanged angry words after the final gun.
“I don’t blame him,” said Paterno about Graber’s anger regarding McQueary’s 42-yard touchdown pass. “I’d be upset too. (Enis) He’s a fine freshman. (Richardson) He’s a fine quarterback but that doesn’t mean he won’t have a bad day.”
How far back until we find JoePa class?

In 1999 Penn State beat Akron 70-24, scoring 35 points in each half. With the score 35-10 Drummond scored on a 71 yard pass from Kevin Thompson (starting QB). Ahead 42-24 Bryant Johnson scored on a 65 yrd TD from Thompson. With less than 5 minutes left, PSU ahead 63-24, Omar Easy scored on a 58 yrd TD run. Did Joe Pa show class that day?

I am not at all a Penn State fan, but I can’t believe no one has noted the obvious here: The Heisman!!! I’m doubtful that RUTS was really the goal, however adding another TD to Quinn’s stats at the end of the year won’t hurt his chances to win the award. There’s no other reason for them not to call a running play at that point.
