Paris Hilton has paid more dues than Lane Kiffin.


Laughed out loud reading this...

If you, like me, thought Pete Carroll leaving in the fashion that he did, and what it will mean for the program he left behind was low class.

Wait until you hear what Lane effing Kiffin has done to Tennessee

Once again, man am I glad I cheer for This Guy...

You know how I feel about ESPN. Surprisingly, they have come down pretty hard on this. You can read Pat Forde linked above as well as This, This and This

Good for you, ESPN for not pulling any punches on this one. I read that the scene in the UT locker room when Kiffin announced to his former players that he was leaving for greener pastures was borderline violent. So UT players have been arrested for armed robbery this year, they have acted like idiots under Kiffin, and when they have the chance to actually exhibit violent behavior in a way that I would condone, cooler heads prevailed. I would have loved it if Lane had to show up for his USC press conference with a black eye from one of his players.

Face it Lane, you had it coming.

My student teaching hand book tells me to review my personal website and edit the content to make it professional. Most of the content on here is nothing I wouldn't say at work or to co-workers. And NONE of it is any worse than what is uttered by my students on a daily basis. That being said, I was mostly kidding when I said the students would have been justified in punching Lane Kiffin in the face.

I will try to be more conscious of this going forward. I would hate to stop writing here completely for the duration of my student teaching, and if I am hired to teach in the future. And I don't want to go back and edit what I have said in the past.

This is going to require some deep thinking on my part.

Pete Carroll



So, I have never been a huge fan of Pete Carroll. First there was this then there was this, neither of which were a huge deal.

That being said, now there is this...

I agree completely with this post. As soon as I heard that Carroll was leaving USC for the Sea Hawks I knew something was up. I have no doubt that this was the reason for his hasty departure.

It's times like these that I am thrilled I cheer for Joe

There are so many problems with the current system in college football, I don't even know where to begin to fix them.

Here We Go Again

Ohio State Hate Week



So we find ourselves here. Ohio State Hate week. The sad part for me is that there is very little riding on this game. Ohio State is not who I thought they would be at this point, and Penn State having lost to Iowa, you know, the team that cannot lose, is probably out of Rose Bowl contention.

That all being said, I still hate Ohio State. Two weeks ago I was forced to listen as ESPN analyst and former GM of the 0-17 Detroit Lions pronounced that Michigan freshman Tate Forcier is the best quarterback in the Big Ten. That would include Daryl Clark. What happened? Clark went out and threw for four TDs en route to a drubbing of the one mighty Wolverines, in their house.

What is going to happen on Saturday when Ohio State comes to Happy Valley? I will call it now, the ABC broadcast team will fall all over themselves proclaiming Tyrell Prior the next great thing in College Football. The outcome, Penn State is going to house them. Daryl Clark will again prove that he is the best QB in the big ten.

I hate Ohio State. I love that we never get credit for being as good as we are.

We Are...Penn State



Due to the the nations overwhelming need to watch East Carolina v. North Carolina last week, we are now entering week four of the College Football season and I have yet to watch my guys.

Luckily for this guy, not only do I get to watch my guys, but I get to watch them in Primetime after a day of College Gameday broadcast from State College.

And on top of all of that, we are playing Iowa, who until last year I never had a reason to hate. Then, they ruined (Roo-EEE-nd) my perfect season last year. Ruined my chance to be embaressed in the National Championship game instead of just the Rose Bowl.

Now Iowa, you have been added to the list of teams that I hate. Say "Hi" to Michigan, Ohio State and Minnesota for me.

We Are

Best Served Cold



I hate you Iowa. White out Saturday. More to come in the next few days.

My Addiction



One thing has always bothered me about people who smoke. With other addictions, be it alcohol, sex, or sugar-free gummy worms, there is a tangible benefit. With smoking, the only benefit is a chemical reaction in the brain.

I have an addiction, and like smoking there is no real benefit. And like smoking, I know that at the end of the day my addiction is going to lead me to a miserable ending.

My addiction is College Football. And I need help.

I know, beyond any shard of doubt, that I will be upset in January. Like smoking, I know the end is going to be real, real bad.

But I can't help but put that filtered poison in my body, every Saturday. And Thursday, Friday and every other day that the NCAA has co-opted.

Somehow, and this scares me about the power of my brain, I am able to suspend disbelief from September-December. I am able to ignore the future pain and anguish I am going to put myself through by forcing myself to witness another round of BCS B.S.

I know that no matter how well Penn State does this year, and I believe they have as good a chance as any team in the country at going undefeated this year, there will be no happy ending.

Without a playoff, I true, Division I-AA style playoff, I will go through the same heartache this January as I did last year, and they year before that, and the year before that...

The problem is, I still watch the damn games. Viewer-ship is up. People are tuning in, and I am adding to that problem. As long as people are filling stadiums, and turning on ESPN for 18 hours every Saturday (guilty), nothing is going to change.

And that is why I have a problem. I hate the thing I love. I hate what it is going to do to me, but I still shoot it into my veins, every Saturday, religiously.

I feel for you Two-Pack-a-Day guy.

Why I Love Joe



Here is an exchange from Joe's press conference this week where what I can only assume is a fairly new reporter asked him how he feels about his 5th ranked team as compared to other top ranked teams that he has had in the 6,000 years that he has been coaching:

I imagine you don't pay attention to rankings too much, national rankings, but being No. 5 in the country do you ever compare your team's development to other teams?

Paterno: No, don't get me into that. I don't know what we are, for crying out loud. Geez, that's the same thing -- hey, I honest to God, are we No. 5 is that what you're telling me?

Yes.

Paterno: I don't know that we're No. 5. You guys don't seem to understand, I don't pay -- I don't read anything about us. I get the paper. I go to the bathroom. I take the paper in there and I scan it. I look at it. The first thing I do is look at who died. All right. Second thing I look at are headliners, something that says Paterno is the greatest, I read it. (Laughter) If it says I'm a bum, I don't even look at it.

This is why I love Joe.



Seriously, I love Joe.

Why Not?



Why wouldn't this make the perfect topic for my 500th post on this here little web site.

The writing has been a tad light lately, mostly because I have found very little rattling around in my head that needs writing.

Feeling fairly crappy this morning. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a major whinny bitch when I don't feel good. Today would be one of those days.

Nothing, not one thing in the world makes me feel better than White Helmets, White Jereseys, White Pants, White Socks, and Black Shoes.

We Are.

Penn State.



----------------------------------------------

On a side note, I am finding myself having an unwarranted amount of faith my my New York Mets right now.

I actually like the way they are playing.

No team at the trading deadline is going to acquire the amount of talent that the Mets are going to be returing.

John Maine
Oliver Perez
Billy Wagner
J.J. Putz
Carlos Delgado
Carlos Beltran (Bel-TRON if your John fucking Miller)
and Jose Reyes

If half of these guys come back and are 75% healthy, the Mets are by far, no doubt about it the best team in the NL East.

The Phillies suck. The Marlins are dick heads and the Braves are the Braves.

Call me crazy but I think there is every opportunity for a sweep of the Phils this weekend.

And We're Under Way



If you are one of the four people that read this site, you probably know that I am the biggest Penn St. football fan in the state of NY.

The Lions beat the snot out of the Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina
In what will probably the last season for Joe Paterno as the head coach of Penn State, the Lions have started well. The real test will be in a few weeks when the Big Ten schedule begins.

Ohio State is the hot pick to win the Big Ten this year in a "down" year for the conference. I, however believe that the Lions are going to suprise some teams this year. They have an experienced O-line and first year QB Daryll Clark has to be an improvement on Anthony Morelli, the man I blame for the present state of my hairline.

Clark reminds me a lot of former PSU QB Michael Robinson, and not just because he happens to be black. Robinson was atheletic enough to make up for the play-calling ineptitudes of Joe Paterno's moron son Jay.

I will be sad to see Paterno go, but I am looking forward to starting a new era of PSU football. Rutger's head coach Greg Schiano will look great in Blue and White.

They are still the best Uni's in sports.
