Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

I think they're whining about having to play on a Friday night this year. Not much of interest. Except our old buddy, Michnittlion, mentions us:

I don't see how this is something that is anti-Penn State. I don't like Friday night B1G football - but this isn't the B1G showing PSU more disrespect than OSU (or U-M, MSU, Wisky).

Besides, I guarantee there will be Buckeye fans (visit Buckeye Planet for instance - hello to the lurkers from there) who will be complaining about how this is unfair to them. Penn State now has an extra day's rest in the lead-up to the PSU/OSU game!

I forget what his name was on here. I always thought he had a pretty good head on his shoulders (for a Penn State fan, that is). I forget why he left.
Also, I guarantee that if Ohio State loses to Penn State, I won't blame it on the fact that Penn State just had an extra day off. I doubt I'd see much of that on here. That's the kind of thing BWI is good for. How many times have we seen posts stating that the Big Ten is "unfair" because of the schedules? "Ohio State plays a stink-bag team the week before playing Penn State. Michigan has a by the week before they play Penn State. But Penn State plays Ohio State and Michigan back-to-back."

I’m pretty sure I bitched about back to back road conference night games at Wisconsin and Ped State in 2016.

409fold. His name here was 409fold. :-)

I took some time off here because I felt it was getting WAY too tribal (occasionally reaching levels of hatred) in some of my discussions. I guess that's the way America is now --- we're more and more tribal and hateful, especially in our politics. But I don't like that sort of stuff.

FWIW, life has changed since my last post here (in May 2016). I moved from Cincinnati (to the West). And I have a new job. I was laid-off from the previous job, and I feel that a factor in that lay-off was me voicing my unhappiness about some of my higher-ups covering up a workplace incident.

I guess God has a sense of humor, huh? (me being vocally critical of PSU folk then seeing myself in a rather similar situation)

Anyway, good luck to the Bucks this year and I'll try to post again once autumn gets closer.

Glad to read everything worked out ok for you after getting laid off.

Was there any rioting or overturning of cars when you were treated like Joesus? I can only hope you did not lose perspective for what is important in life and proclaimed "Beat Nebraska" shortly after being informed of the decision.
