Expectations are high in Happy Valley. They have a pretty weak schedule but if they can get past Akron I can I start to get excited. They lost an experiences Senior Class last year but big things are expected out of QB Daryll Clark.

9/05 Akron
9/12 Syracuse
9/19 Temple
9/26 Iowa
10/03 @ Illinois
10/10 Eastern Illinois
10/17 Minnesota
10/24 @ Michigan
10/31 @ Northwestern
11/07 Ohio State
11/14 Indiana
11/21 @ Michigan State

You'll probably lose your Big Ten opener.

Just so you know.

FYP

It's certainly possible for them to loss each of their Big Ten games, I agree, but I doubt it. The JoePa robot is just not gonna let that happen.

I think they might be pretty motivated for that game after last season.

OSU vs PSU in Happy Valley will probably decide the B10.

It'll be interesting to see how PSU reloads on offense after losing all of their starting wide receivers.

Sure.. and they have a ton of talent.

And a *ton* of holes to fill.

Bowl Predictions - http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowlprojecti...2009&week=0

They're both picking PSU to goto a BCS bowl, one an at large bid I guess.

Pitt's also picked to win the Big East by one of them.

Here's something I bet is news to some people. It certainly was to me.

I must say, I'm disappointed in you not knowing that.

HAHA

I knew they messed up the Big Ten...but didn't know about the logo.

OMG that schedule is PATHETIC!

seriously........

Agreed, which means even if they go undefeated they'd likely still help to make the BCS Championship game.

Penn St. is now my #2 team behind the Gators since my brother is going to Penn St. now so I'm gonna start following them a little.
The schedule is a joke, so maybe we can see a UF PSU BCS game.

Why the fuck does the nittany lion paw print have 5 toes? Considering you are a college, you could at least get the number of toes on a cat right.

It's actually because Clemson has the 4 toed print trademarked.

TMQ:

It's tempting to confer the 2009 Gimmick Sked of the Year distinction on Oklahoma State. The Cowboys not only play eight games at home and four away -- they open with five of six at home! But the 2009 Tuesday Morning Quarterback Gimmick Sked of the Year winner is Penn State. Not only do the Nittany Lions play twice as many games at home as away; not only do they fearlessly face, at home, Akron, Syracuse (which enters this season on a 7-29 streak), Temple (which enters this season on a 10-25 streak) and Eastern Illinois; Penn State starts the season with four consecutive home games, the first three against Akron, Syracuse and Temple. Penn State may have the single phoniest schedule any football power has ever cooked up. This causes TMQ no small amount of consternation, as I have long rooted for Joe Paterno to best Bobby Bowden for most career coaching wins, and admired that Penn State football consistently posts better graduation rates than most big-time football schools, including Florida State. When the Seminoles became embroiled this spring in yet another cheating scandal, this seemed to cement TMQ's preference for Paterno over Bowden. But now I check the card and see the Nittany Lions playing a gimmicked cupcake sked, while Florida State has six games at home, six away, and only one dubious opponent: Jacksonville State. On the field this year, Florida State is for real while Penn State is pulling a cheap stunt. Penn State athletic department, how did you think your rigged sked -- perhaps planned to put Paterno over the top in his final campaign -- would go unnoticed?

Weak schedule...who cares?

1-0 Baby. Bring on the Orangemen.

BCS computers?

If it gets down to that then I'll worry, but there's alot of W's to pick up before that.

Good luck on Saturday night.

I think the spread is a bit high for this game. If this isn't a defensive slug fest I'll be shocked.

Yup.

I like Iowa to go in and break Penn States hearts in this game.........money line FTW, lol

You and I agree on something college football related? WTF?

HAHAHHAHAHAH


Hey Penn State




better luck next year

You should be able to rest easy now.

Don't worry though..you're still ranked four spots ahead of Iowa. What a joke.

Not in the AP Poll.

Iowa jumping from unranked to #13, pretty amazing.

They started the season at 21 or 22, won every game and dropped from the rankings then jumped back up to 13. The polls make a ton of sense.

Certainly a disappointing loss on Saturday but hopefully this is what they need to inspire them through the rest of the big ten season.

Oh... well, don't I feel sheepish.


Actually I don't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a cats paw cannot be trademarked. A certain style of cat's paw can be, such as the colors, and style, like a font for text, but the four toes part cannot be trademarked, as evidenced by all the other schools that utilize paw prints.

The fact that someone at Penn State bought that line of BS, which is where it originated, is hilarious.

i made monies

This whole thing freaks me out a little bit.
