Good stuff, but your editor should be fired for not fixing this too…

“If this is really Paterno�s last shot at Michigan, here�s hoping he releases his inner, rabid brain-devouring, referee-chasing zombie for the occasion, and not the inner zombie that politely nibbles around the clavicle.”

That should be edited to : “If this is really Paterno�s last shot at Michigan, here�s hoping he releases his inner, rabid brain-devouring, referee-chasing zombie for the occasion, and not the inner soft-porn-vampire that politely nibbles around the clavicle.”

Oregon State plays at Penn State. And if you’re pointing out our crappy OOC schedule, I’m 100% with you. You should see next year. Syracuse, Temple, Eastern Illinois, and To Be Annihilated.

As a Syracuse fan, I can’t help but notice you’re on our schedule this year. And it looks like given your September (and Aug. 30) schedule is Coastal Carolina, us, Temple, and Oregon State (all but Oregon State at home) — which looks to me like three sure things and one game that’s roughly a toss-up (the Beavers are probably favorites because they’re at home, but not by much). After that September (where it’d take an epic-level collapse to be worse than 3-1), complaining about a brutal October seems kind of silly. Could be wrong.

I went to PSU and my brother went to MSU and the two of us barely care about the game.

Bring back Pitt! I want to play Pitt every year. I don’t care if it hurts our strength of schedule… I mean seriously… we play Syracuse, Temple, and Coastal Carolinwhothehellcares.

Canadian Independence was celebrated yesterday. So, a few token cocktails for timelitude.

Ah, now, you see, the Land Grant Trophy is misrepresented… you see, whoever LOSES the game has to keep that sucker in their trophy case for the year

Also, the football game usually isn’t the biggest competition in town for that game… PSU vs. MSU blood drive is always much more competitive

Great job RUTS!

The best thing to ever come from Canada is the TV show “Corner Gas”…. that said… Brent Butt looks an awful lot like what I imagine Paterno did in 143 years ago.

Also, it seems I left a “t” off “Buffett”. My editor is so fired.

@9: Joining the Big Televen put the kibosh on long term home and home series with Bama and ND. Well, that, and a little thing called money.

The Pitt thing is more of a personal grudge, with JoePa still pissed about PSU fans having to buy ticket packages of 3 Pitt games just to see the one.

@12: We have to look at that damn thing every year, and pretend we want to bring it home. Sigh……

Good job, RUTS. Love your sports stuff.

Browns fans want to thank you for Courtney Brown.

Get in line, Bears fans are too busy thanking us for Michael Haynes.

But man, they were great at PSU.

When your kicker is one of three players you choose to feature, its probably not a real promising sign.

The current state of JoePa football can be summed up by the delightful old Mr Magoo cartoon where Mr Magoo is being driven past the State Pen by his irascible Oreintal driver, Charlie.

Mr Magoo looks at a sign on the prison that simply sez ‘State Pen’ and yells, “Stop the Car, Charlie! It’s my Alma Mater – PENN STATE! Look at the referees in the striped suits – its HOMECOMING!”

Nice work RUTS…
Even if it did temper my excitement more so than stoke it for the year.

The only thing that would be perfect would be the following picture and caption:
