Lawnboyz chain?

[Howie'81]

There was a time with this program when we had a leader who taught people that what others think of you matters.

No bigger Paterno fan than me, but what you wrote here is a crock.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

I've been watching the game (didn't see it live) and I was caught off guard by the Lawnboyz bling. Looks cool - wonder if each 'nickname' group will get one? 'Aces', 'Wild Dawgs', etc.

Right. How'd that work out for us? I don't want to see our guys do anything disrespectful. But, file this under
harmless fun.

Dontcha think that getting to wear that chain might provide a little extra incentive to get into the end zone? That’s what I think made Miami’s turnover chain so great was that once it became a thing, that defense got better and the turnovers grew. If the 4 RBs are pushing each other harder in practice and games to get better and succeed because of that chain, that’s a win-win in my book.

However, if you fumble, you’re grounded for a month from the chain.

Exactly what I was thinking. It provides a little incentive and competition.
If we on't allow a chain like this, maybe rubs recruits the wrong way. I know, I know, we are different than other schools, but a little change isn't so bad.
BTW, anyone see the belt North Carolina had yesterday? It was bigger than the one Hulk Hogan wore when he was WWF champ.

It’s a stupid, low class, verging on punk like piece of crap that should be deep sixed immediately. It represents the “look-at-me” culture that is 180 degrees away from the no name on your back, plain white and blue image, that is Penn State.

If you don’t understand my point, let me put it this way.. I hate the POS.

Hate to blow your mind, but...

Oh so we “never” get mocked by other teams? You should have seen some of the signs we saw on the way to the stadium Friday night. So if players want to have some fun, let them. The Lawnboyz done ripped up the turf at Capital One Stadium Friday night.
The chain is tiny compared to, let’s say:

I am well aware and first hand witness to what the other schools fans think. And that stuff went on even before Sandusky - just not quite as crudely. By why not keep our calling card do things with class? Lawnboyz chains “stuff” are immature and will boomerang on us (with other teams) as the competition gets better. The RBs played well on Friday - but let’s not get carried away. Clifford was the leading rusher.

 

[BobPSU92]

How about a set of Outrage Bob Turnover Tongs?

The problem is that every player would need their own.

NEVER. SHARE. TONGS.

Yeah a Miami is tearing it up.

Totally agree and what’s with this stupid forward pass crap - if a fullback is not in the game and the QB isn’t under center to hand it off for 3 yards and a cloud of dust it isn’t PSU Football and no one should ever watch it again - bunch of crap - and who hid my geritol?

Yea, a Lawnboyz chain is real bulletin board stuff.

Who knew Freddie Mercury's son was a PSU coach ?

 

[katchthis]

So which player gets to wear Madonna’s golden cone bra for being the biggest boob.

When you burp up the egg in the Red Zone, Madonna cones are yours.

 

[PennStateNate]

What other teams do is different, mostly turnover related. "Lawnboyz" is representative of camaraderie among running backs, we can support that and still rip those other turnover monstrosities.

Why?? It’s the same concept.

 

[Delco Lion]

We know Franklin reads the posts here, so maybe he will tell Seider to put the chain away?

I hope Flavor Flav himself is on the sidelines next Saturday to scream “Yeah Boy!” into a microphone that projects over the stadium sound system every time PSU scores.

PSU SCORES!!!!!!

It isn't 1970. Embrace change.

 

[Osprey Lion]

Reminds me of the pearl clutching that was going on when players started having tattoos and earrings.

Or just "people like to find things to complain about" which is all it is.

There are people on this board that would be more upset if PSU changed it's uniforms than if they went 0 and 12.

 

[Osprey Lion]

I guess if you have no standards and convictions that would be a viable alternative. For those of us who believed in the grand experiment, and still do, your suggestion leaves a sour taste in our mouths.

Eat a mint.

Not a chance.

Care to explain how passing around a goofy chain on the sidelines prevents our players from fulfilling the grand experiment of playing football, staying out of jail, and graduating?

I mean I can understand how it is offensive to anyone who has ever used a properly tuned Lawn-Boy, which would never tear up the grass, but other than that......

Boomerang on us? Seriously?? It's a bunch of kids sitting on the bench having fun and wearing tacky piece of jewelry while celebrating good play.

If a tree falls in the forest....

 

[katchthis]

Scott Paterno is not a fan. Hit the link and within is an article as well as a order your own chain link tee shirt within the site.

The lawn boys did it ? Or would it be the chain saw guys ?

 

[The Shelter]

I love the chain and the camaraderie it helps engender, and I'm a lot older than Scott Paterno.

Probably Rutgers players chopping that wood

If so, look around for missing fingers with all that incompetence.

 

[ChiTownLion]

Probably best for players to stay off social media during the season and avoid getting trolled by bait-click headlines.

 

[tototootsi]

Really? GMAFB! I hope that is the last we see of that abomination!

Good Idea. Let's manufacture a Lawnboyz controversy.

 

[CVLion]

If this chain is our biggest concern as Penn State fans right now, I’m really happy!

 

[CDLionFL]

Yeah a Miami is tearing it up.

Not now they aren't. When the chain first came out, they were.

 

[We Are . . .]

Get off my Lawnboyz!

 

[LaJolla Lion]

Some fans should really just STFU. Wahhhhh, we didn’t do this in the 1950’s so it’s wrong. Get a grip.

I agree he shouldn’t be drawn in but he makes a good point. The traditions of Penn State are not changing because there’s some bling on the sidelines.

[Delco Lion]

I guess I should have used the sarcasm font.....

 

[Kroixklk]

Understand their point. The LawnBoyz don’t give a F what you think or hate.

There was a time with this program when we had a leader who taught people that what others think of you matters.

You think less of a kid because he wears a chain? I don’t remember that part in the grand experiment.

I like that guy rocking the chain is the guy who puts the ball on the lawn more than the others. mow that lawn

 

[CDLionFL]

ROTFLMAO


Maybe if they got some chains for their offense, they would “try harder” too?

LSHIPM

You're an idiot. I'm done with you. Something I'm sure many on this board have already said.

 

[ThePennsyOracle]

Tons of butthurt in this thread.

Look folks. It ain’t 1986 anymore and Joe is dead.
