If this is the kind of dominance that Perv State wants to return to, then we can all hope that they return to "dominance":

From Nick Horvath of the Harrisburg Patriot News..

"Since the 2005 season ended, Penn State owns a 1-10 record vs top 10 teams and is 2-18 vs opponents ranked in the top 25. In sum, it hasn't belonged on the same back porch as the big dogs"....

here's a new one...

"Wow, the media is going to be going salivating over this game all week. Bill O'Brien is going to get a lot of coverage. If New England pulls off the win, and they'll be heavily favored, it's really going to be great for PSU. I know, this isn't exactly a major discovery on my part....just excited about it."

Is OBrien bringing Tom Brady with him or something?

Oops. My bad. What I meant to say was, PSU is only 1-10 against top 10 teams since 2005 because they are so dominant that their offense and defense is ranked separately. The record of 1-10 is their nationally ranked defense beating their nationally ranked offense. In practice. Clearly, they destroyed ranked teams from outside Happy Valley.

Wouldnt be the first conspiracy at PSU! These people at PSU are pretty messed up (tired of using delusional), but they are whack jobs really. I work at a large manufacturing company about 90 mins from PSU toward Pittsburgh. These people insist that this had nothing to do with the football program??? Ok, hmmmm...it happened in your football facility, done by your legendary defensive genius who engineered your two national titles, covered up by the head coach who only insisted that the guy leave the program, and didnt even ban him from the facilities, which allowed him to continue what he was doing through 2002, when another football coach witnessed the incident in the shower, and reported to athletic director and president. Nothing to do with the football program??? If this isn't lack of insititutional control I dont know what is. Yet they are upset about not having a coach for 2 months, upset about how Joe was treated, upset about who they eventually did hire. I told one of my co-workers (I work with a bunch of these delusional people unfortunately), that you guys cant be upset. You are fortunate that anyone even wants the job. I have never seen anything like it. Psychologically, its devastating to them and they cannot put their arms around the thought that someone who was like their father, perfection in their eyes, whom they really treated as a god there, would have been a party to something like this, or at least to hiding it. Thats the issue for them. In fairness, I dont know what I would do, but this wouldnt happen at OSU. We would never allow one person to run the entire football program and basically, the campus as Joe did. Especially if he wasnt winning. Any coach at OSU would have either left the program or been forced out 15 - 20 yrs ago and certainly after he had three straight losing seasons like Joe did in the last decade. I get how difficult it must be for them to face up to it, but at least shut your mouth and show some humility!

Awhile ago I was watching what I thought was a rally of PSU fans showing support for Joe Pa and PSU football. I later realized it was an episode of "the Walking Dead".
