-Holy shit is AM terrible and thank you PSU staff for keeping the other kid on the bench the last 3 years.

-How in the fuck was that not at least running into the punter?

-4th and 1, run an option to the right? My first thought was that I finally found another coach as bad as Cooper, then I remembered the T A&M QB can at least actually run. :( There will always be only one Hot Tub John.

-B10 2-1, should be 3-0 if not for Sparty's OC.

-I've never seen such across the board horrific QB play in Bowl games as this year. No wonder Matt Ryan was a Heisman contender, he doesn't force anyone to track a completion to interception ratio.

-Listened to the intro and immediately muted the game. I watch almost all sports with the mute on anymore. It really has just become too painful to listen to.

That 1 could easily be a 0. MSU was expected to lose big from what I've heard. So far, so good in my opinion.

If it wasn't for 4 Hoyer INT's and 5 total turnovers it could have easily been a different outcome for MSU. This was one that the Big 10 had to have tonight. This will be one of the few Bowl games that even ESPiN expected the Big 10 team to win. PSU was the better team even with Morelli throwing it like he was blindfolded most of the night, I swear I don't think he even looks at what he is throwing it at half the time. He just trys to see how hard he can throw it even on 5 yard out patterns to the running back releasing from the backfield. Unbelievable.

Did they really just show some fat Aggie crying on the sidelines? Good luck living that one down dude.

Penn State beat Texas A&M 24-17, in a game that should have been more decisive than it was. Despite a lot of Penn State mistakes, bad calls from the referees, the Nittany Lions managed to pull out a third consecutive bowl victory for Joe Paterno's 500th game.

Edit: I should also point out that I saw two Michigan fans in the stands presumably in support of Penn State to win one for the Big Ten. That actually surprised me a little.

I'm mostly talking about the penalties that should have been given for roughing the punter. I don't think you'll be able to convince me that those two times that the kicker was hit with his leg out shouldn't count. But I guess in the end it doesn't matter, it's still a bowl win for Penn State and a bowl victory for the Big Ten.

If he could've had one less INT the outcome might have been different. His turnovers were awful.. It's unbelievable that the game was as close as it was. Even though MSU lost, I think the Big 10 gained a little respect and the Big East lost a little with that game. Too bad they didn't get the win.

I also think that this helps OSU. BC's apparently great run defense gave up 175 yards to MSU. We shut them down.

On another note, was Dan Connor an influence in this game at all? I was watching the Pats game most of the night, but from what I saw, Dan Connor made no plays.

My girlfriend pointed out that Dan Connor (spelled Conner in the show) is Roseanne's husband. :shake:

Alamo Bowl
Comeback carries Penn State

SAN ANTONIO -- Joe Paterno's 500th game as Penn State coach ended the way most have: with JoePa on top.
Evan Royster broke a tie with a 38-yard touchdown run and Deon Butler scored on a controversial 30-yard catch as Penn State erased an early 14-point deficit to beat Texas A&M 24-17 last night in the Alamo Bowl.
Paterno, college football's leader in bowl appearances (34), led the Nittany Lions (9-4) in a thriller that brought him his record 23rd postseason win. To get to 372 career victories, one behind Florida State's Bobby Bowden for the most in major college football, the 81-year-old coach had to ride out a roller coaster of a game.
