I hate PSU's gameday atmosphere so much. It's like a particularly lame NBA atmosophere.

No problem, it drives me crazy when I can't remember which games are on what channel...and at what time. Also hate commercials so it makes it easier for me to channel surf.

Penn State got a TON of ass kissing by the media for pounding Akron and Georgia State and they rose in the polls. Beating Indiana, might as well move them to #2 behind Alabama.

There is nothing to suggest they are not legit other than the 49-10 game that occurred over a year and a Big Ten Championship ago. Saquon is the real deal. I would like nothing more than for Michigan to go into Happy Valley and stomp their asses but honesty the only thing I have come to expect from road games since 2008 is a painful loss and some bullshit homer reffing. When was our last road win over a top 5 team? The Stone Age?

I was honestly surprised to see Georgia was only favored by 9.5, especially after what they did to Mississippi St.

Planning on watching a few minutes of sludgefart Iowa-msu. Fox has the baseball game beforehand again. Currently in the 7th, no way they start that game on time 2 weeks in a row. Who thought this scheduling was a good idea?

Brain dead Fuck-O's from Fox are the same ones that created BTN. Those broadcasts are unwatchable, and as a television professional, one of the worst assignments to get.

In breaking news, the infograph says they are actually switching over to the football game before kickoff. I assume this is just for my local fox 66, but wish they would have done it like that last week.

So much for PSU being on "upset alert". Puke!

I watched a little bit of CMU vs BC and CMU's backup QB made some real nice catches at wideout. Sadly, it looks like that was both the beginning and end of all the excitement for that game.

As far as the other "big" games go, I see either Auburn or Clemson beefing it. Both teams have looked rather shaky and it wouldn't surprise me.

Auburn yes, Clemson just has their DL murder people and manages the game. Freshman QB vs. those four guys seems like it won't go well to me.

The PSU PA announcer is really cornball. Sounds like he should be calling minor league baseball. I greatly prefer Grapentine's understated approach at Michigan Stadium.

The more I watch PSU, the more I see a team that can be beat. Their defense isn't otherworldly, and with even a minimized Barkley they struggle. And Don Brown can absolutely limit the damage from a single player.

It would be nice if break that streak, but given Michigan's track record the last decade I am not holding my breath. Plus you can bet your ass PSU is going to get some bullshit gifts from the zebras.
