players being unfortunate collateral damage.
Exactly.
includes extremely central, powerful figures
And they've been canned. They're gone. And they won't be the last ones fired and there will probably be some people going to jail in addition to Sandusky.
Cheering against PSU is rather pointless at this point, IMO. At this point with the coaching staff gutted and the major persons involved fired, rooting against PSU is just rooting against the current players. They didn't do anything wrong.
November 12th, 2011 at 2:51 PM ^
I don't necessarily think anyone is "bad" or even "wrong" to root for PSU. Just that the initial unanimity of it was kinda shocking.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:27 PM ^
To say nothing of the disgusting fan protests. I want their fans to never see another win.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
Agreed. Most of the fans made it about JoePa when it clearly had nothing to do with who he was. The fact that it was Paterno made the story so much bigger, but even if it was Billy Bob the water boy I'd be calling for his head. A lot of them still don't get it, either. The riots made them look like horrible people, and for that, I say screw them.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:47 PM ^
That'swhy I call bullshit on that and that bullshit ass vigil they had last night. Nobody gave two shits about these victims. They were more outraged over Paterno's firing than what happened to those kids. They are just trying to wipe the egg off of their faces now.
November 12th, 2011 at 1:37 PM ^
I think a candlelight vigil is weird to have anyway. They make it seem like the victims are dead with the way their acting...
November 12th, 2011 at 12:16 PM ^
In case anyone missed that PSU-Illinois barnburner a couple weeks ago, it looks like PSU and Nebraska may be producing a repeat showing. PSU was inept as usual on their drive and Nebraska has negative rushing yards so far.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
MSU intercepts Iowa, return to their 19.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
Iowa could be done early in this one.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
OK that was actually a really good interception by Sparty. So much for Iowa controlling their destiny
November 12th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
TD MSU
Ed: Anyone else see the ticker at the bottom of the screen? PSU received bomb threats for Beaver Stadium
Ed. Ed. Glad the refs got that catch right for MSU /notoverlastweek
November 12th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
Last week.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:21 PM ^
Exactly. Damn.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:20 PM ^
how did we have so much trouble with this d last week
November 12th, 2011 at 12:23 PM ^
I think our offense was just uncomfortable. Clearly the rotating of Devin/Denard isn't working, and if Toussaint is off, then we have no run game... Except Denard, who, we were trying to run from center.
Really the offense was tailored to Denard's weaknesses last week.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
...we're just not very good.
<br>Man, I wish I had another theory.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Michigan State might just be pretty darn good, by Big Ten standards.
November 12th, 2011 at 1:52 PM ^
Michigan is trying to MANBALL with an offense more suited for the spread option. Square peg, round hole.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:23 PM ^
PSU just caught some luck on a 3rd and long. Pass deflected off one receiver right to another one for a long gain.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:24 PM ^
Mcgloin just threw a block on a reverse to help his reciever pick up 3 yards.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:25 PM ^
PSU missed field goal. I'm calling 2-0 for this game.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:26 PM ^
Is the Purdue - osu game on BTN?
November 12th, 2011 at 12:28 PM ^
Yes. Purdue threatening again.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
Yes, BTN. Purdue now up 10-0
November 12th, 2011 at 12:31 PM ^
T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E the Iowa team we got DISGRACED by last week is. Still fucking pissed about that totally lame performance....never should have come down to one series. Iowa has their worst team in at LEAST 20 years, and Illinois isn't much better. Illinois BARELY beat WMU and NW...teams we handled with relative ease. We should NOT lose today.
Unlike many of you, I like Borges. He didn't drop passes, fumble, or miss any tackles.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
...but we also still have one of the worst Michigan teams in decades also. Just doesn't look that way because the only 3 worse were, uh, 2010, 2009, & 2008.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
We're 7-2 with 3 games remaining. That's quite a bold claim at this point.
November 12th, 2011 at 1:00 PM ^
I think the Jake Christensen-led Iowa teams would disagree.
November 12th, 2011 at 1:53 PM ^
The six Iowa teams with losing records in last 20 years would probably disagree with you. You've got no idea what you're talking about, do you?
November 12th, 2011 at 2:10 PM ^
but seriously, I don't recall an Iowa team any more inept than this one. Remember too, the Big Ten is in a down year, and I'm pretty sure Iowa barely finishes over .500,
Also, I'm venting. You get that, right? Fact remains...Iowa is a bad team by their standards.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
TD boilers.
10-0 good guys
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
Nice 10-0 lead for Purdue to start the game. Hopefully it continues.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
purdue is looking pretty good against osu right now
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
not a pimp
November 12th, 2011 at 12:29 PM ^
10-0 boilers
November 12th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
Why U no playz good at Kinnick this week?
I thought Iowa would at least make this a game 'cuz of the Kinnick Effect. Last's weeks loss feels even more frustrating.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
It was no easy task to lose to them last week.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:30 PM ^
Taylor Martinez is 1/6 for 15 yards. Didn't the B1G used to have good QB play? Who is the best QB in the conference after Russel?
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Lots of drops there too though.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Dan Persa.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Excuse my ignorance but who is the man behind the myth?
November 12th, 2011 at 12:36 PM ^
"Lloyd Brady" is so named because he looks like a perfect combination of Lloyd Christmas (Dumb & Dumber) and Tom Brady. I DARE you to look at a good pic of him and disagree.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:43 PM ^
I figured the name was a reflection of his appearance but is he a student (current), or alum or just a superfan? Thanks for the info :)
November 12th, 2011 at 12:49 PM ^
that he is a current student. I know this much for sure...the dude has a seriously awesome first row seat in the Big House student section...that's part of why he is on the big screens so often. The other part is, well, he's LLOYD FUCKIN" BRADY, fergodsakes.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:56 PM ^
For the edification! My mind is now at ease :)
November 12th, 2011 at 12:32 PM ^
Borges will hopefully study this first quarter by Purdue. This is an offense we can run, and we have better athletes.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
Iowa made a defensive stop? Maybe McNutt will stop screwing up on 3rd downs now.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
poor passing QB.
November 12th, 2011 at 12:35 PM ^
with them continuing that next week
November 12th, 2011 at 12:33 PM ^
another 3 and out by OSU. no first downs yet for them
