PennLive Take: Different Now than Last Week
I don't know how often anyone watches the post game video hits beat writers do, but the shock and awe on display here, to me, is pretty telling.

Oh sweet sweet schadenfreude. Fuck Penn State
September 25th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
Tried to get it to embed, couldn't make it work.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:02 PM ^
Much easier just to make a reply with the embed.

I honestly thought the guy on the right was on the verge of saying "fuck this, I have a life to live" and just walking off at least 3 times.
And after the stint we went through, I found myself relating.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:50 PM ^
He was done lol. I think they'll win more than 3 games but a bowl game is not even close to a sure thing.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:55 PM ^
Shaquon Barkley was the best player for PSU - by far. If the Nittany Lions are going to run a spread attack with him, they have to have the QB run some of the time, otherwise it is NOT credible. They have to try for shoot outs.
The talent gap was clearly there. Franklin is in his 3rd year after two 7-6 years. Having endured similar situations in the recent pass, it may be a 3 and out situation.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:26 PM ^
This is golden. Where can I find MSU's?
September 25th, 2016 at 1:27 PM ^
Hungry for Sparty tears!
September 25th, 2016 at 1:33 PM ^
It will not be nearly as forthright. I have seen forums today where MSU fans are saying they can't wait for the rematch with Wisky in the championship game, once their young team gets more experience. I would like to book their action.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:50 PM ^
But it featured a certain gentleman whose opinions are largely frowned upon in these parts.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:33 PM ^
Drew Sharp + Graham Couch. Summary: MY EYES ARE BLEEDING. HELP.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:03 PM ^
Rightly or wrongly I'm easily dismissive of out of shape reporters breaking down shortcomings of players. I trust not their knowledge. They are better served reporting vs analyzing. Next these three chubbies will tell me the secret to a healthy diet and exercise program.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:41 PM ^
On one hand, I roll my eyes too at hot take types who question an athlete's heart or will when they look like they would get winded on the way to the fridge. On the other hand, there are a lot of fat to morbidly obese coaches out there, many of whom have seen success (if not as a head coach, at least as an assistant).

True, but I don't believe those three gents can be counted amongst those.
September 25th, 2016 at 3:38 PM ^
Solari seems pretty good here. I shouldn't be surprised, but Sharp was an obnoxious jerk. Couch seems to think "fifth year senior" should be an important playing criteria, which doesn't make sense to me.
Sharp is really amazing. I actually felt bad for how obnoxiously he was trolling the MSU players. Who else has that kind of power?

Brady Hoke would agree with the sentiments about 5th year seniors. Meanwhile the best programs feature guys that play as true frosh and leave after their 3rd year.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Nope,

The sirens in the background make this so much better. Symbolism for PSU's season...

These may be the only two PSU fans who are not in denial. For Pedo State, reality sucks.

Don't worry, nobody is listening anyway.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:29 PM ^
I mean did they think we weren't better than Pitt?
You know what? Never mind. I want 0 insights to how the Penn State mind works.

No shit. They were surprised their offense couldn't do anything? Did they realize this was set up to be maybe the best defense in the nation after already fielding one of the best defenses last year while losing very few players?
They talked about not reaching .500 in conference play. They just played one of the best teams in the country on the road.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:29 PM ^
I hope someone finds their dog.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:04 PM ^
Actually, the dog might be better off.

That was entertaining
September 25th, 2016 at 1:30 PM ^
Just imagine how much worse it could have gotten for PSU if they didn't "win the coaching matchup."
September 25th, 2016 at 1:34 PM ^
It doesn't get easier for them, at least in terms of dealing wth a running game, next week. That's all Minnesota does well. Now, they should score more, but it's going to be more of the same coming down their throats for a while.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:31 PM ^
Delicious.
The only thing missing from this is them agreeing to the effect that, "This beatdown makes us realize, Paterno DID know."

To crush your enemies. Check.
To see them driven before you. Check.
To hear the lamentations of their women. Check-plus, thanks to this video.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:45 PM ^
All the MGoPoints to you sir!
September 25th, 2016 at 4:05 PM ^
That was awesome.
September 25th, 2016 at 4:43 PM ^
Drew Sharp is just an idiot (ok - we all knew that), but still he wants to throw the team under the bus. Truth is the ND sucks and their "big" win was totally washed away by Duke.
Wouldn't a loss to IU just be icing on the cake !!!
Go Blue!
September 25th, 2016 at 1:35 PM ^
Normally I would kind of feel bad for a team if we were up 40 and still played the starters, but after seeing them do dumb shit like shush the crowd after defending a pass or celebrating a special teams tackle while being blown out, I'm happy Jim Harbaugh kept his foot on the gas.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:56 PM ^
Is that the football equivalent of "slapping the floor when down by 10 late to a 15-seed"?
September 25th, 2016 at 1:40 PM ^
or we won't win... Remember when we used to have to say that? Yay Harbaugh!
September 25th, 2016 at 1:47 PM ^
Wait, I thought it was all a conspiracy between Lloyd Carr and the Big Ten refs?

September 25th, 2016 at 4:09 PM ^
I saw more than one reference to the "referines" during the game. They still think the refs wanted M to win.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:48 PM ^
I hope they win games against the rest of the big ten so they keep Fraudlin around. He's a brutal coach
September 25th, 2016 at 1:54 PM ^
obvious and terrible excuse making. He's aware of the fire beneath him.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:48 PM ^
I hope their season gets even worse. Honor a coach who enabled a pedophile, you deserve this type of beating every week.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:51 PM ^
I'm inclined to agree with the poster above you considering how mediocre Franklin has looked but man I'll never turn down an oppurtunity to see PSU get butt blasted.
September 25th, 2016 at 1:53 PM ^
so much this
September 25th, 2016 at 2:00 PM ^
and sounds like he did 4 fingers of Jameson neat, before going on air. Sink the Bismarck!
September 25th, 2016 at 2:06 PM ^
I laughed aloud for at least five minutes as these commentators rapidly descended into the spirals of Hell, each's despair feeding the other's despair in a self chaining reaction of impending doom. It was beautiful, man, an instant classic.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:13 PM ^
I assume these aren't the same guys who write the features on PennLive because they seem to have awareness of....reality.
September 25th, 2016 at 2:33 PM ^
just because they likely had higher expectations both for the season and yesterday's game.
