Penn State - 13
Ohio State - 6
The Patriot News printed their Sunday Fan Line before the Penn State @ Ohio State game was over, so there was no commentary from the people. Now, we can only sit back, wait, and wonder… what will be wrong with this win???
Let’s recap with a few unfortunate last-words from this past week.
“Oh, Penn State fans, you better throw a lot of hot dogs on the grill, because this week you’re gonna get your fill of Beanie.” - October 22, 2008
Forget the hot dogs, I need some help with this one. Is this a reference to baked beans? Regardless, the Penn State defense sure did get their fill of Beanie. 22 carries for 55 yards, with a long of 8. He was the preseason Heisman Trophy candidate, right?
“If they played two weeks ago Penn State would have had a chance. But Saturday night at The Shoe, Penn State won’t stand a chance.” - October 25, 2008
Given your logic, I’d like to see how the game would’ve turned out two weeks ago. Thank goodness that the game wasn’t scheduled for two weeks from now. On October 25, 2008, not only did Penn State stand a chance, but they were victorious in “The Shoe.”
“I wonder what all the Penn State fans are going to do when Penn State is blown away on Saturday night and their whole world comes tumbling down around them.” - October 25, 2008
Sorry to break your heart, Chicken Little, but the sky hasn’t fallen yet.
“If you look at all the fluff that Joe Paterno has on the schedule, it’s pretty hard not to have a decent season. Even though they will lose to Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin, his schedule is set up for a bowl game.” - August 31, 2008
Strike One, Strike Two, and Strike Three.
Predictions for the Monday Fan Line: “The Big Ten is still super-weak this year. Penn State got lucky that Pryor fumbled. How can Penn State be ranked #3 when they haven’t played anybody respectable other than Ohio State? Ohio State is just another cupcake. Paterno is a manager, not a coach.”
