I've got Oregon/Iowa as an absolute rock fight. I'm not sure Oregon is ready for all that comes with that roadie. I'm really excited for that game. An Oregon win probably helps us more in all honesty with The Narrative forming around the Ducks, but I don't think either result hurts our resume either.

120k on a 25k goal. Oil money and Utah money coming together is a powerful thing.

I’m ready for that first string of 3-5 straight deep balls from Tucker and Lamar that causes AH to absolutely melt down in a big game. They even got a pretty good pop at one point last night.

dif•fi•fi•cult /ˈdififəkəlt/ adjective | english (?) Definition: Not that hard actually, unless you’re Notre Dame, who stinks. Example: Notre Dame’s schedule is diffificult. It allows them to have the facade of being good when they’re not. See also: An ACC-Adjacent Football Schedule

I’ll give them USC as a solid win, but NC State and Boise State blow. Both metrically worse than Maryland. Not to mention a 2 TD win that was a one score game for 3+ quarters over 1-8 Boston College who is behind 10 FCS teams in SP+. Firmly believe IU and many others would be unranked with that resumé.

Went to actually check on the state of PSU fans. In a thread titled "Can PSU win 3 more games" we have this beauty: And then last night someone said: "In a fascinating turn of events given what is happening tonight...this thread also applies to Penn State basketball" So yeah, things aren't great up in the hills.

I've never been impressed by a PSU noon crowd to begin with, let alone with how their year has gone. If it's not a whiteout (which...no one seems to talk about how they're just above .500 in those) that place isn't very menacing. The thing that concerns me at PSU is wind. It's an absolute wind tunnel in there, but the forecast isn't calling for much.

YoutubeTV's interface is wayyyyyy too bad to be putting you guys through all this. I spent about 5 minutes on it once and it was the worst TV experience of my life.

This is hilarious. Wisconsin fans spent the entire afternoon victory lapping their beer numbers. Those poor folks can't catch a break.

The CFP committee chairman (who, by the way, got his masters at THE Indiana University) must hate Penn State.

Go check out what Disney owns. Hint: it’s everything.

Joey Galloway claiming A&M has the best win in CFB this year at #10 ND, while looking at a graphic that has Oregon at #9 is an all-timer. Or how about everyone agreeing that “everyone is entitled to one close game” regarding TWO LOSS NOTRE DAME last week against Boston College. This show has not lost its fastball.

All that to say...Robbie Hummel sucks, actually. (And Brian Butch rocks, actually.)

Yep, my aggregate betting numbers are a bit shocking every time I look at them (I'm ahead lifetime...take that, Vegas!) and I'm not a big unit guy in the slightest. I'm nowhere near 327, but I could see how someone could be. That stuff adds up quick.

Believe that puts us in the top-3 and if you go by actual attendance, probably higher. Should get new data later this year because this is only for August and September.

Really just a long-winded way to say "Robbie Hummel sucks, actually."

Stadium beer sales data courtesy of Matt Brown who runs the Extra Points newsletter. Averaging over a beer and a half sold per seat is punching in an elite beer-drinking weight class. We're leaving revenue on the table imo. When they jack my season ticket prices up and force me to make another non-deductible donation (typing that made me vomit. Call it a PSL or even just call it a fee; don't piss on my shoes and tell me it's raining), I'll simply ask why they can't charge Big House beer prices to carry some of the load.

Mockobee came in right after Zander Horvath who was the same type of not terribly dynamic but effective player, but Mockobee is better.

Nooner on BTN.

Still a TON available through PU directly, starting at I think $45.

I get the same uneasy feeling as you, just from the historical aspect of it and looking at the seasons in general. But then when you start thinking about the game being played on the field...their offense is only somewhat dangerous when they can run the ball, which we're elite at stopping. They can't throw AT. ALL. If they're stuck playing in 3rd and medium/long all day they'll be in hell. They also don't stop the run worth a crap either, which...we do pretty well. A sleepy Beaver Stadium against a team that we match up pretty well with? I feel pretty good.
