They don't need to bring up Sandusky, there are plenty of PSU idiots to do that for them.
Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Minnesota
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
I guess what many of us don't understand is just how low everyone's expectations are. Why aren't the expectations to win the conference and earn a playoff spot with a 6th year QB? People say we're rebuilding but we aren't. There's no rebuilding in year 9.
People are saying that it is an important game for PSU to win. Obviously you don't agree so you can have your opinion.
Ooh, my bad. Then others who feel that way are more dramatic than a 13 year-old girl.
@crm114psu - you wanted to know Justin' prediction, I just got it from him. Penn State 24 - Minnesota 6
"Penn State will be able to control the Minnesota passing attack with Tanner Morgan likely out of this game and multiple offensive weapons still making their way back from injury.
If the Nittany Lions can control the ground game like they have offensively so than they should be able to score enough to put this gaem away early.
With a hostile crowd in the mix as well, I like Penn State to bounce back and handle PJ Fleck's team.

I mean, I wish he moved on but "rebuilding" would make a lot more sense if a true freshman was starting the opener not a guy that should have been gone 2 years ago. Rebuilding just doesn't exist in college sports other than when a new coach arrives.
They also don’t need to participate in the discussion so they can throw their crappy comments in there. Prior to Sandusky, trolls like that would have been banned for saying a lot less….since Sandusky, it’s open game for these morons to say whatever they want. That’s kind of my point.
Success with honor was real. Sorry the almighty narrative has robbed you and so many others of that legacy.
It really wasn't. It has nothing to do with the narrative. It's about how the fanbase tolerated mediocrity. Success was when we were contending and winning MNCs. It's been nearly 40 years. Almost 30 years since 1994 which was our truly last team that was worthy of being in the discussion.
At the beginning of the year, most of us would have been thrilled with 10-2. I still am.
But first there's the slight problem of getting to 10 wins. It has to start tonight with Minnesota.
There will be no excuses for a loss. This is a game we should win. This is a game we must win.
As for the people already downplaying a win (if it happens), well honestly, they're full of shit.
The 2005 team wasn't really in the discussion. Texas & USC were on a different level.
Remember the old Brian Orakpo commercials with the Geico caveman.
”Brian, your words are hurtful”
We were ranked 5th or 6th when we played Michigan State, right?
We were never 1 or 2 that season.
We got lucky that we played an awful Florida State team in the Orange Bowl
I never thought for a second that team was winning a MNC.
Didn't we struggle with Northwestern that year as well?
I don't believe we were 3 until the final rankings
I don't believe for a second we'd have gone over USC or Texas if they had a win
We weren't beating either of them for sure though
At the last minute, Keyvone Lee is in uniform after all for Penn State.
Oof.. Penn State's first drive is halted after Mitchell Tinsley backtracks on his own accord, missing a first down. then there's confusion on if they're going for it or not. A false start pushes Penn State back and Minnesota will start at their 22 yard line.
Poor first series for the offense.
Poor first series for the offense.
