I hate it Quinn you get like that.
Someone able to embed his announcement tweet? 'Cause it includes a short music video...yep, a kicker put together a short music video to announce his college choice. As a consumer of recruting news, I gladly accept part of the blame for where we are in terms of Clausen-esque hoopla surrounding verbal commits.
Dont know how to embed but here is the tweet: https://twitter.com/QuinnNordin/status/619514593824518144
We've still got Blake O'Neill. Carlos Spicyweiner will have some competition for the ladies this fall.
Enjoy "Happy" Valley young man.
Whenever I go to State College for a game, I always wonder what the attraction is.....lots of fast food places and chain restaurants in the middle of a cornfield in the middle of nowhere, with lousy weather.
State College is lots of fast food places and chain restaurants in the middle of forest/mountains (Iowa has the cornfields) in the middle of nowhere, with lousy weather.
Traitor. I hope he finds himself in a kicking fight with a mature kangaroo.
I hope he gets insulted at by a bitter and sarcastic Koala.
Best of luck to him, expect when we play him.

Did he or did he not commit with a music video?
You bet your ass he did
This might be peak middle class kicker.
From someone with insight into this kid, he is a headcase. When is the last time you saw a kicker with an announcement ceremony?
Who does Quin Nordin love? Why Quin Nordin of course. And what does Quin Nordin love? Getting D's and kickin' for 3, baby!!!
He also goes to Rockford High School. And if you're from the west side of the state/have ever played against Rockford in any sport, this shouldnt suprise you.
Whoa Whoa Whoa... When I went to Rockford we didn't win shit.
Seems like there's a whole lot of MSU in the Rockford area. Folks who are doing ok in life, but not nearly as well as they think they are.
It's okay man, Cedar Springs will get there someday.
I didnt go to Cedar Springs though...
Thanks for the comments but I thought headcase was implied with a kicker? /s (sort of)
I doubt we had room for him anyway.
This staff told him there wasn't any room at the Inn.
He must listen to Cowherd.
Your new fan base defends a man who allowed horrific things to happen under his watch. Enjoy!
your that guy!

there going too have too deal with it

I'm that guy too, as is 99% of the American population outside State College.
How this gets downvoted is pathetic. PSU football prominence is precisely what Paterno avoided jeopardizing in doing the bare minimum to help at risk kids. How anyone can root for PSU football prominence after it, and it's principal achitect where the root causes behind the persistence of these atrocities and delays in justice, just defies reason.
That a large portion of their fan base blindly defends a man who did the bare minimum to help at risk kids when he had the power and authority to immediately bring justice, also defies reason, and it is why I will despise PSU football with the fury of a1,000 burning suns for the rest of my life.
Who knows why Nordin is going to Penn State. There are literally 1,000,000 possible reasons.
Maybe he likes Coach Franklin, maybe he thinks Jerry Sandusky was framed and wants to be close to PA so he can help break him out of jail, maybe he likes the school colors, maybe he sees an immediate opportunity to play, maybe Penn State is secretly cheating and paying him $100,000 to attend school. Et cetera et cetera et cetera ..........
If the reason for his choice is some NCAA violation, of course, well that's not a good thing by the school. But assuming that's not the case, Nordin can go to whatever school he wants for whatever reason he wants.
Ultimately it's not Nordin's obligation to choose his school based upon making up for whatever sins various other folk (that are currently dead, jailed, or indicted) may have committed.
Also committing with a music video...using a private plane!? What?!
We are the Rams. The MIGHTY MIGHTY RAMS!
Seriosly though I never had a private jet. #PlayedWaterPolo
We're talking about KICKERS man.
I would have loved to get this kid. Definitely from what we have been watching over the past 8+ years. I know we have Andrew David, but could have been nice to get Nordin for more competition. On the other hand, I think it is good that we won't be using a scholarship on a kicker since we have limited space and in on a lot of elite talent that we need desperately.
If there is only 7 spots left:
WR: Ahmir Mitchel
OL: Terrance Davis OR Jean Delance
TE: Nasier Upshur
DT: Rashan Gary (we need at least one man at Defensive Tackle this year)
DE: Xavier Kelly (Weakside Defensive End/Buck Linebacker)
LB: Jonathan Jones OR one of the other many Lb's were in on.
DB: I think we need another pure cover corner whoever that may be.
That gets us to 28 I think and we will need to have 3 of them to Early Enroll to get back down to 25. I am also sure that we won't get all these players mentioned but we need to fill these positions regardless. I know there could also be more or less since there is talk about Greyshirts and possible guys decomitting before signing day in February.
Okay?
I don't understand is my post negative or something wrong with it? All I was doing was explaining how I would have loved to get this kid to breed competition, but we don't really need to use the scholarship in the end because we are in on a lot of talent at other positions. I added in the position I thought we could use another man at and who it looks like we could possibly get to fill those roles.
I am not trying to say we did't need this kid, becasuse he is a great kicker and would be a good addition regardless but we also have other positions we could use guys at also. I'm just confused in what I did wrong.
You didn't. Don't worry about it, either. It's the internet—you could post an OP story about rescuing fluffy bunnies from an animal sacrifice ring, and you're just as likely to get negged as upvoted.
