I don't think I've ever been happier after a Ohio State regular season win in a non-scUM game than when the Buckeyes beat Penn State in 2017. That was a helluva comeback one year after losing in such a fucked up way. I may have screamed at Trace McSorley to eat a bag of dicks through my TV ?

That game was incredible. Saquon returned the opening kickoff and they were just all over us in the first half. I remember with about 7 minutes left in the 2nd quarter I was really regretting paying 500+ a piece for two tickets 4 rows off the field.  Had an obnoxious penn state fan behind me and my girl at the time that had me wanting to punch him.  Then Joseph Thomas Barrett had one of the best halfs of football I've ever seen in person and led us back.  That was the 2nd time I was able to rush the field at the shoe and a memory I'll never forget. If I had seen trace on the field I probably would have said the same thing to him in person.

Since the blocked kick circa 2016 I’ve grown to dislike Penn State.  Having Been around the faithful for some time in the past when they entered the Big Ten and had their run in 94 I believe they had the belief that they would make the Big Ten a juggernaut and carry the league.  Since then They have backed their way into some Big Ten Championship games but have an empty trophy case to show for it.  For decades OSU has gotten the best of them even though there have been games where OSU seemingly let them hang.  It sounds smug i know.  But the new attitude we took your defensive coordinator and this is our year is another recycled empty promise of we are here and it is our year.    They are probably a new HC and elite QB away from that even if they flex their muscles before Nov. 1st. Maybe Matt Patricia is available next year lol

Thanks!  Yeah, I LOVED what he did at Vandy when he took over that program full of football follies and got it up to back to back 9-4 seasons. That was all within 3 years in the SEC. That got him the opportunity at Penn State that a lot of Vandy season ticket holders felt he deserved. That said, I feel bad he's not gonna measure up or that I can't argue against his growing volume of critics.

Sucks that the Guardians beat the Tigers 5 out of 6 times in the last two weeks of the season only to have to face them in a best of three series immediately after - especially considering they beat Skubal twice in that stretch. I was hoping for the Red Sox. 

Zero expectations at this point.  I’ve said all year it is a flawed team.  But they play to the final out and the pitching is coming on at the right time.   

@sdbacker80 said:

Unreal 15.5 in July I think 12.5 in late August and 6.5 two week to go.  Hard to imagine something like that happening again.   Still worried about this upcoming series facing Skubal and a team that knows us well.

That sucked.

Go Reds!

in la la land tuesday, bet they cant buy a ring this year

Well for the 13th time since 1995, the Guardians are A.L. Central champs. Halfway through the season, they were in 4th place in the division, 15.5 games behind Detroit. 

Just thought I'd try to find the silver lining for today in Cleveland sports.

Keeping Joe out there at this point is negligently bad coaching. I genuinely feel bad for the dude at this point.

There’s no perfect time to start a rookie. Dart had an on paper tough matchup and is on the brink of winning. Just pull the fucking plug man.

And Dart was hurt because he was put out there too early. 

They seem to have abandoned Sampson in the passing game.  He's kind of interesting when he gets the ball in some space.  

'Out on' Bond had a few receptions.  One really nice contested catch.  Had our longest play of the game.  Unfortunately, Tillman & Thrash aren't currently producing the way we've been hoping they would this year. 

The D actually played pretty well again...in spite of what the scoreboard says.  We won Time Of Possession by 3 1/2 minutes.  

I think next week against the European Vikings will be key.  We'll need to bounce back with a solid game.

 No we were talking about how Franklin built a nice program at Vandy and seemingly can’t win when it matters at a built program.  The talking heads were all over Penn State even more so than OSU.  There multiple analyst giving them undeserved accolades this Summer because they solved the missing piece (added WRs) but forgot their QB hasn’t taken the next step and they are charmin soft in the trenches

Are you saying I predicted Penn State was going to win a National Championship?

Yes.

 He's been wildly inconsistent all year.  There isn't a single component to this passing game that has helped put or keep the other in rhythm. 

 Joe can't consistently put the ball wear it needs to go,  OL can pass protect in straight drops, pass catchers have dropped catches they have no business doing. 

It's the Circle of Poo

Joe's own kids have been telling him he doesn't have it since training camp.  That's a true story.

We've had open receivers all day that he isn't throwing it to until the DBs have had time to recover.
