Less than 24 hours away from kickoff, PSU launches their season tomorrow.
If you're a Penn Stater, this is guaranteed to give you goose bumps....

My Penn State Football Preseason Prediction
Let me first go on record as saying that this will be the first time in at least 3, and maybe 4 seasons that I haven't had my brother put a wager on Penn State to win the National Championship in Las Vegas for me.
Maybe that bodes well for the Nittany Lions to win it all, however, I'm not making that prediction. I do believe that with the right breaks, bounces and no injuries, PSU win the national championship this season....but then again, there's about 20 other schools who could say the exact same thing.
While the talent is certainly there, there is one huge hurdle: Michigan. PSU has to go into Ann Arbor (that whore) on Sept 22nd (kickoff time and TV coverage TBA). They haven't won there since 1996. They haven't beaten Michigan since 1996 (note the Lions did take 3 straight from the Wolverines from 1994-1996, including the infamous 1995 "snow bowl"). When it comes to Michigan, in terms of Penn State football, consider me from Missouri: "show me".
I won't, and I can't, predict a Penn State victory over Michigan until I witness it with my own eyes. Much like many of my gambling philosophies, one should ride a wave until it crests. Therefore, until I see this Michigan wave crest, I am predicting a Michigan victory on Sept 22nd. In 2002 and 2005 Penn State took better teams in Ann Arbor, only to get whored by the officials and Tony Johnson's TWO feet inbounds catch (deemed OOB by an official with a clear as day view) and the 2005 heartbreaker where our special teams coach (aka "Mr. Invisible", because we don't have one) decidely to strategically kickoff to Steve Breaston.
Unfortunately, I see another loss for the Lions somewhere in the season. They'll lose another game on the schedule, maybe Wisky, Ohio State, or god forbid either Purdue or Iowa.
Put me for a 10-2 regular season, which will be good enough for 2nd place in the Big Ten, and a nice BCS bowl, maybe in Arizona.
I'll see you all in Tempe in January.
For the glory.....

My College Football Pool
I was invited to join a pool where you pick college football teams.
We had 8 participants, snake draft style.
I was "stuck" with the #1 pick. I wasn't really interested in it, and tried to trade out of it, but there were no takers.
Here is the point structure:
-1 point for every game your team wins
-2 points for every game your team beats a ranked opponent
-3 points for every game your team (UNRANKED) beats a ranked opponent.
That being said, with the #1 pick, I was thinking either USC or LSU. I ended up taking LSU for two reasons:
1. They play 4 teams ranked in the preseason top 25, opposed to USC, who only plays 3.
2. One of those teams that USC plays, Nebraska, is ranked #20, and that game is in week 2. Who does Nebraska play in week 1? None other than sneaky old Wake Forest, who could easily pull the upset, knocking the cornholes out of the top 25, and easily taking away a 2 point game from USC.
3. LSU get to the SEC conference championship game, which gives them a chance at another game to beat a ranked opponent, which could be an extra 2 points that USC won't even have a chance for.
As for my 2nd round pick, it was Auburn (play 5 ranked teams). I also got Hawaii (should be 11 points at worst). I love the fact that I got Alabama (playing SIX ranked teams and they are currently unranked) despite the fact that Saban is a douchebag.
Feel free to post a comment as to whom you think will win this thing. I, of course, love my team.
BTW, interesting note on the B10 teams. They were drafted, in order:
Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Wisconsin. That's the exact reverse order I would have selected them.
Here are everyone's picks in order of round they selected them. (Alma mater in parentheses to indicate any potential bias. Speaking of bias, the Gator guy Rob thinks of the SEC as compared to the rest of the conference the same way that Hitler thought of the Aryan race compared to other races).
Tom ( East Stroudsburg)
For the record, my SEO guru for my business, Chuck (Auburn guy) after viewing the selections, made his preseason prediction:

More on Jack Crawford, PSU's recruit from England
Click here to read the article about Jack Crawford. Sounds like the guy has a TON of upside.
Great New Penn State Blog I found
I've been reading the blog by the folks over at Lasch Out, a new blog dedicated to Penn State football.
They have some REALLY great information, and insights.
I love this post here, which talks about the lack of freedom generally given to Penn State's QBs and their ability to audible.
This has actually been confirmed to me by other folks with knowledge of the program. (Not with respect to Morelli, but certainly other QBs within the past 10 years).
They also talk about PSU's penchant to go into a shell when playing a big game on the road. Playing "not to lose" (Columbus, OH in 2002 and 2006 anyone?)
Anyways, per another source, Herbstreit was quoted at the Big Ten kickoff luncheon, when asked about Morelli vis-a-vis Michigan, by saying "Morelli will torch that secondary".
The question remains: will JoePa give Morellli the keys to the Porsche, or make him push the wheelbarrow?

The Herbie's are out.
Kirk Heirbstreit, aka "The Most Reasonable Buckeye on the Planet", has released his annual "Herbie Awards" on ESPN.com
While always a great read, Herbie actually has a very pro PSU stance this season. With multiple recognitions for the players, fans and general game day atmosphere, Herbie definitely gives Penn State their due.

Youtube cracking down on sports hilights?
If you noticed below, I had a post with Nani's gem of a winner over Spurs yesterday. Today, if you click on the link, you're taken to a YouTube page with the following message:
This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by NetResult
My brother had actually told me about this.
Apparently YouTube is really cracking down on people posting sports hilights. I assume that this is because people posting videos on youtube aren't paying the licensing fee that say, an ESPN does when they show their hilights.
Anyways, sad if true. Youtube was always a great place for:
1. Watching a hilight that you might have missed.
OR
2. Surfing around searching for old school hilights from games way back in the day.
Oh well....

Pretty interesting stuff. It's called "Shift Happens". Yes, I know, I'm asking for another 6 minutes of your life. However, unlike that dopey Buckeye David Boston, this is actually worth watching. Enjoy.
They're Gonna Be Singing Ten German Bombers in the PSU locker room pretty soon....
| "Leave it out!" Asking for a packet of sweets? Asking JoePa if he "fancies his chances to get a result..." Are these the types of things that we'll be hearing in the Penn State locker room next season? Ten Buckeye Bombers??? Crawford Pledges to PSU | ||||
 Jack Crawford | A year ago Jack Crawford moved to the United States from London, England to pursue a career in basketball. This past Sunday, as expected, he made a commitment to pursue a collegiate football career with the Nittany Lions. | |||
Although Jack Crawford came to the United States to pursue the sport of basketball, he found quickly that football was a second sport he also excelled in. Honored as a first-team All-Area and All-Parochial in his first season of football ever, Crawford was heavily pursued, receiving offers from programs like Ohio State, Michigan, Boston College, Rutgers, Syracuse and Pitt. This past weekend Crawford made visits to Ohio State on Saturday and Penn State on Sunday, ultimately selecting the Nittany Lions, which most of the Nittany Nation expected, including seven of FOS' eight Fearless Forecasters. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound tight end/defensive end, who boasts 4.55 40-yard dash speed, was recruited by the Nittany Lions as a defensive end prospect. As he told us previously about the position, "At [defensive] end, it's just hitting the quarterback. I like doing that the most. I like hitting guys. I look forward to playing at a higher level." | ||||

United Get Their First Win (FINALLY)...Nani with a cracker
Manchester United FINALLY got their much needed first win of the season, over Spurs, 1-0, on a cracking goal by Nani in the 2nd half.
For some reason, the youtube video wouldn't load, but you can click here to see Nani's first ever goal for United.
It wasn't the most entertaining of matches, but was a much needed 3 points. Onto Sunderland on Saturday, with a bit of an "old boys" feel to it, with Dwight Yorke in the lineup, and managed by Roy Keane.
Roberto Luongo Has His Eyes On The Prize
I know that most people aren't talking hockey when football is just a few days away. However, there was a great article in the Vancouver Sun this past weekend about Roberto Luongo. I for one, am excited that Roberto won't be satisfied until he brings a Cup to Vancouver.
He is, IMHO, the 2nd best player ever to play for the Canucks (Pavel Bure is #1). However, Luongo could easily achieve the #1 ranking in the very near future.

England vs. Germany Friendly on Wednesday...Ten German Bombers?
There's an England vs. Germany "friendly" being played on Wednesday at 12pm PDT. Unfortunately, to watch the game live, you'll have to pay. Waste of money in my opinion, for 2 reasons:
1. It's a friendly. Really doesn't mean that much.
2. It's on Fox Soccer Channel at 2pm for free.
3. Steve McClaren, England's manager, is a twit.
The game will be played in Wembley, meaning a home game for England. I'm sure that a few rounds of "Ten German Bombers" will be heard throughout England before, during, and after the match.
Heck, if this is what the England fans would do in GERMANY, during the World Cup, imagine how wound up they'll be for this game tomorrow:

On second thoughts...in regards to the whole "No Respect For PSU" thing
In an earlier post, I referred to PSU as not getting any respect from the national media. After further examination, not everyone is a hater. In fact, Kirk Herbstreit's ballot looks pretty good from a PSU perspective. He's actually gone on record as picking PSU to win the BigTen this season.
Kirk's gotta be the smartest Buckeye on the planet!
Kirk's ballot......
1 Southern Cal
2 LSU
3 Florida
4 West Virginia
5 Oklahoma
6 Texas
7 Penn St.
8 Virginia Tech
9 California
10 Michigan
11 Wisconsin
12 Louisville
13 Georgia
14 Ohio St.

17 Georgia Tech
18 UCLA
19 Boston College
20 Tennessee
21 Miami
22 Oregon St.
23 South Carolina
24 Nebraska
25 South Florida
Well Kirk, hopefully you're right with your BigTen predictions. At least he's got his own school in pretty much the right place.
Then again, Herbie has been backing PSU, and the student section, since that 2005 game:

AP Poll is out
The AP released it's top 25 college football rankings over the weekend. To see the complete poll, you can click here.
Here are my initial thoughts:
-I love how Rocky Top is ranked one spot ahead of PSU, despite getting completely shut down in the bowl game. UT lost it's top 2 WRs to the NFL, PSU returns it's entire secondary, yet they're ranked higher? Oh well.
-I actually think that #17 is a reasonable start for PSU. Actually, according to my point above, they should be ranked at #16.
-I agree with Tommy Tuberville on one thing: polls shouldn't come out until October. Don't forget his 2004 team started the season at #18. He blames the media for Auburn getting the shaft that season despite running the table (and shocker....beating VT in a bowl game). Tommy, if you're looking for sympathy on 12-0 teams getting dicked, Penn State fans aren't going to have any of it.
-On a somewhat related note, should PSU fans be worried about starting the season ranked too low. Do Morelli and co have enough firepower to run the table? Do we play Michigan this year (yup Sept 22nd).
-How the hell is O$U ranked 11th? I know they pay their players, but are they playing the pollsters as well?Look at the Buckeyes schedule:
I see a trap OOC game @ Washington
I see a loss to Wisky (shocking stat: UW has won THREE IN A ROW at the 'Shoe. Maybe JoePa should borrow their gameplan)
I see Michigan exacting some revenge (Lloyd'll be playing for his job).
And finally, I see a loss vs. PSU. O$U travels to PSU (only 2 wins ever.... 1995 on a bogus non fumble call on Eddie George, and 2003, on the Hartsock "catch" to my right).
-Speaking of this play, LOOK AT THE FREAKING REFEREE. Is he on acid? HOW THE HELL DID HE CALL THAT A CATCH. What a joke.
Back to the preseason poll:
-I see VT folding down the stretch (as usual)
-No way is Oklahoma a preseason Top 10
-Actually, the entire BXII is a fraud.
I'll have some more musings here soon.

No respect for PSU
As a new season of Penn State football is just around the corner, most of us who support the Blue and White are anxious with anticipation. Can't wait to find out what's in store for the Lions this season.
Sadly, as what has almost become a broken record, it's all going to boil down to how the OL performs. Are they going to be the noodle-armed gashes of 03-04 or the ones who blew open holes for LJ to scamper for over 2000 yards in 2002. (BTW, how the hell did he not win the Heisman that year? Actually, the answer is easy, and the problem is with the idiots who run the Big Ten and they way they do their scheduling, but that's another post for another day).
Anyways, this past weekend I was listening to ESPNRadio, and none other than Mel Kiper comes on the radio to do his Big Ten preview. I actually don't hate Kiper the way a lot of other people do, and many times he gives Penn State (and their players) their due. However, I was shocked, when he ran down his Big Ten preview, and picked the following for the top 5:
1. Wisconsin
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
Now that's not that surprising, especially since Wisky returns 17 or 18 starters. However, when pressed for 4th and 5th place, Mel said (parapharasing) "I've got Purdue and Penn State in the 4/5 position. Gun to my head, I'd pick Purdue 4th".
Are you kidding me Mel? Gun to your head and go with Purdue? After PSU shut them out last season, and get them at home in 2007????
Well no big deal I thought to myself, until I saw what one writer from the Detroit Free Press had for his Big Ten preseason picks: SIXTH!
Hopefully the players are aware of this crap, and go out to prove everyone wrong. I know a lot of you reading this are of the "who gives a crap what some hack from Detroit thinks" ilk. Nonetheless, it still bothers me, simply because I think that Penn State has been the red headed step child of the Big Ten ever since they joined.
Anyways, enough for tonight. More PSU news to follow as it comes in.

Post #2.....slow down.
WOW. Pathetic. Did it really take me 6 months to write the 2nd post ever on my blog? Yup.
What's my excuse?
Don't really have one, actually.
Could have wrote about the Canucks painful exit from the playoffs to eventual champion Anaheim Ducks.....nah.
Could have wrote about genius Cam Cameron and his first ever pick in charge of the Dolphins.
Actually a few quick thoughts on this:
-The first thing out of Cam Cameron's mouth were talking about drafting the "Ginn Family" and how he was going to be a "great returner". Really Cam? Is Ted Ginn Sr. lining up at left tackle? Is his mother going to be in the dime package on defense? WTF.
-If you really wanted Mr Brittle Buckeye, why not trade down...you probably could have gotten him WAY later...oh wait, that makes too much sense.
-At least he was booed at the Dolphin's draft day party!
Then summer rolled around, and Dreama and I had a baby girl. Stella.
It is simply amazing having a child. But I really don't want to be the guy who writes about his child, especially because I know that many of the readers don't have children. Suffice it to say, it's been fantastic, and just like a Lee, she shits, eats and sleeps like a champ.
Yup, as of week 2, she'll rip off anywhere between 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Wake up, feed, and go back to sleep for 3 more hours. Dreama and I will call it pure luck, nothing else. But we'll take it.
Well, check back often. Subscribe to the blog. I'm trying to figure out how to post youtube vids, since they make for great stuff.
One other thing. Man United got off to a very lackluster beginning to their season, with back to back draws. Not very impressive, and now Rooney's out for a couple of months. Anyways, props to Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain who's the early leader in the clubhouse for goal of the year. Enjoy.

Yup, as of week 2, she'll rip off anywhere between 6-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Wake up, feed, and go back to sleep for 3 more hours. Dreama and I will call it pure luck, nothing else. But we'll take it.
Well, check back often. Subscribe to the blog. I'm trying to figure out how to post youtube vids, since they make for great stuff.
One other thing. Man United got off to a very lackluster beginning to their season, with back to back draws. Not very impressive, and now Rooney's out for a couple of months. Anyways, props to Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool captain who's the early leader in the clubhouse for goal of the year. Enjoy.
