James Laurenitis

[PSUcup1]

on BTN Live (watching replay now)

He is actually very good as an analyst

It's the 2nd time I've seen him on the show.

First time was prior to the start of the season. he stated that he didn't quite understand why OSU was such a prohibitive favorite over PSU.

He's the best guy I've seen in the network

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

I agree, he hasn't taken part in any of the OSU drum-banging that Herbstreit does.

 

[psuro]

Does he agree with other reporters as a way to pad his stats?

 

[Ranger Dan]

Did tOSU credit him with any tackles for his analysis? Back in his playing days, he seemed to get the tackles added to his stats just by being on the field when a tackle occurred.

Best. Post. Ever.

Agree I've seen him a couple of times now and thought he was very good.
I like Lehman as well but why do so many of them yell, Looking at you Lehman and especially you Whanny, they have microphones they don't have to shout.
Howard Griffith is my favorite.
The new chick they have his HORRIBLE.
I've seen a couple of the ESPN segments with Joey Galloway and he's actually been pretty good and has been very favorable towards us going back to last year. He was one of the very few (maybe only one) that thought we deserved to be in the playoffs.

Interesting how we don't hear any more yapping about Hawk and little Animal being better than their Penn State counterparts. Our guys left them on the side of the highway several years ago

 

[YogiMan71]

I think Howard Griffith is fair and knowledgeable.

And I much prefer DiNardo over what those sick bastards are doing with Corso over at ESPN. It is painful to watch. Don't get me wrong, Lee Corso has forgotten more about football than I'll ever know, BUT, he's clearly forgotten a lot...about a lot...

+100. Doesn't Corso have kids and grandkids that can say "Ok enough".
Its pathetic and sad and ESPN should be ashamed...yea I can't believe I typed that either. SMH.

I'll miss him a bit when he does retire. He's a buffoon, but he has provided some entertainment over the years. I remember watching him on College Gameday back in the late '80s in the Nittany Apts. before heading up to a game. He's 82 and doesn't want it to end, I guess. Can't say I blame him. Hope he retires though before it becomes a Weekend at Bernie's routine...

Unfortunately for him it already has.
Herby is pretty much his care giver. SMH

Laurenitis and Griffith are both very good. DiNardo, Revsine and Pizzo are on the next level. I'm neutral on Mason and Lehman and I love the quirky Mike Hall. Michelle McMahon is affirmative action hire as she basically SUCKS!

Correct! I have fond memories of watching Lee Corso from the floor of my living room as a kid. The problem now is that he truly has become a ward of the rest of the panel.

Sad, but the main question is why any of you know this? No self-respecting PSU fan should be watching a minute of ESPN programming that doesn't involve an actual PSU sporting event.

You may wish to retract your statement, we're talking about the Big Ten Network.

Corso is on BTN too?

He was talking about Corso.

Now I must proffer my retraction for a retraction request.

Hah. Forgive me. It was a moment of weakness during week 1 when Dickey LaGow showed the Bucknuts what the premiere passing attack in all of college football looked like. It was that or the Fla St/Bama game.
