PENN STATE STANDS NOT FOR OVERLY FRIENDLY LIONS
Nittany Lion Drawn By Tom of Finland: Here, Terrelle. Take a tissue. I know how hard it can be.
Terrelle Pryor: Thanks, I just…I just try so hard.
Nittany Lion Drawn by Tom of Finland: I know, I know. Hey, have you been working out?
TP: Oh, like you wouldn’t believe. I’m so…sore. I just need someone to touch me and tell me it’s all gonna be all right.
Nittany: Oh, let’s just give those sore shoulders a rub and see what happens… [CUE MUSIC}
(The shirt’s been recalled, of course. But the Tom of Finland Nittany Lion attempting to turn Terrelle Pryor lives on in your hearts and in your pants.)

So what Holly means is that in this case “gay” and “happy” really do mean the same thing?

Insulting the starting QB of the top program in the conference is poor sportsmanship? Are these the same people that attend Eggles and Phillies games?
Happy Valley must be the quietest 100,000 seat stadium in the country.

Well, Leavitt Town, since they were so kind as to publish the design, it shouldn’t be too difficult to make one. A printer and an iron-on transfer sheet should just about take care of it.

You can’t spell pussies without PSU in it. TP is going to exact revenge for the fumble last year. Bet accordingly.

You know, when I saw this shirt on Doc Saturday’s blog, I thought it looked a lot more like gay furry fanfiction than a pointed barb of rival mockery.
Unless those are the same thing.

Terrell is paying the price for being such an overhyped recruit. I realize he didn’t ask for it, but he’s got it.

In my version of the shirt, Tim Tebow looks down on the scene from heaven and smiles at the good display of sportsmanship.
Also, to make sure there’s no funny business.

Apparently this doesn’t reflect the “true values” of Penn St. athletics.
So PSU athletes aren’t about comforting people when they’re sad? What jerks.

“You guys sound like us when we were hyping Morelli two years ago…”
I understand your vitriol. It must be strange to Penn State be nationally relevant for two years in row (outside of fantastic ice cream and pumped in techno music…and white t-shirts!…and zombie nation y’all!).
Things will go back to normal next year…JayPa’s Quarterback Coaching Mastery Doesnt Make Promises of Mediocrity It Cant Deliver!!

ReadingRambler says:
@ #22
That’s all well and good, but you didn’t actually address the real issue here: Pryor is not “LeBron in Cleats”, he is “Morelli in Columbus”.
Also, it’s funny that you chide Penn State for not being consistently “nationally relevant” (when in doubt bash the other program. Remember to bring up our criminal record next.) when your own “nationally relevant” program hasn’t won a truly big game on the national stage since, say 2002.

Fer cripe sake Penn State, this t-shirt looks like it was drawn by an 11-year-old. If you are going to engage in homo-erotic innuendo replete with the musky whiff of bestiality, please, do it well.

Regardless of the face plant(s) in the succeeding bowls, tOSU beat Michigan in 2006. Beating Michigan is a very recent phenomena for PSU. You had to wait til they sucked. I guess next you will tell me that beating tOSU makes it a relevant win for PSU, but when we beat you it is not of any consequence.
Pryor has more mobility than the statue that was Anthony Morelli. When he is running by your defense into the end zone, try to remember a time that AM ever did that. Cause laying on your back while a pick 6 takes place doesn’t remind me of TP.

I can’t let that go unchecked. You do realize that Penn State is something like 11-20 vs. Ohio State and Michigan since joining the Big Ten conference.

Wow. You actually felt a need to suck up to Michigan’s sterling record against us to improve your modest 9/6 ratio?

Guys, guys, guys, let’s keep everything in perspective.
You’re arguing about BIG 10 FOOTBALL.
For not being a slow white guy, The Big 10 Gods punish Terrelle Pryor with outstanding mediocrity.
For not being a slow white guy, The Big 10 Gods punish Darryl Clark with being at Penn State.
And mediocre levels of mediocrity.

@9 No, those are not the same people. PSU fans are terrified of cities. And attending an Iggles or Phillies game IS an example of poor sportsmanship.

@9 “Quietest”? Clearly, you’ve never been there. “Top program”? Sweater vest boy better get Clarett a pardon and suit him up to make that claim.
I know it was awfully quiet in Columbus last year.
