I have heard that one.
So while I am laughing on the inside, I agree with them and say they are only a few degrees of longitude apart. Always helps to find some common ground and keep the conversation civil.

Sorry to resurrect this old dying thread. But I find their whining about officials funny.

So they start complaining that M*ch*gan benefitted from some bad calls from referees. Another dude ("LandoCommando") says that all teams benefit from bad calls from time to time. Stop whining about referees. He then gets the wrath of several others.
By the way, has anyone ever confirmed the "You're lucky to even be playing" thing? I'll need more "proof" than the fans' claim. And last I heard, they didn't agree on the player, the referee, the game, etc.
Anybody watching scUM BGU game? Referines in full homer protection mode.
BGU intercepts a scUM pass trailing 7-6.... Referines call holding after BGU starts driving ball to stall their drive, then on the very next play ignores BLATANT Pass Interference (d-back hits and tackles intended receiver well before ball arrives. Disgusting. Gee, where are all the...

That's something that has apparently just become part of the PSU mythology. I've seen several different players mentioned as the one who it was was said to, but the first time I remember seeing it mentioned over on BWI Cult Headquarters it was supposedly said to Mike "anabolic" Mauti (RIP) during the Nebraska game in 2011 or 12 after the refs ruled no TD on a play that definitly looked like the PSU player crossed the goal line. But from my recollection, Mauti himself never claimed it happened.

It has morphed from just "you're lucky to be playing" to "shut up, you're lucky to be playing".......which tells me all I need to know. When I tell the stories about the abuse I've seen at Penn State games, they don't get worse and worse each time I tell them. That's because I'm not making them up.Sorry to resurrect this old dying thread. But I find their whining about officials funny.

I've heard it was Mauti against Nebraska. I've heard it was their quarterback - was that McGloin? - after he got the ball, the play was whistled dead because of a false start, he spiked the ball and got a delay of game penalty. I don't think it actually happened.
You have a good point. I don't know that they're all being made up. Most believe them to be true. But there's no documentation. No one can confirm the story, so the fans just let it be true, since it helps with their "everyone hates us because they ain't us" attitude.

Ha.....this 100% happened against us. And it was 100% the correct call. This wasn't the original source of the ref supposedly telling a player they're lucky to be playing......that was definitely from the Nebraska game. This is just another instance of these mongoloids mixing everything together because they have so many made up complaints they can't keep them straight.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
“The network of Penn State alumni is vast and proud. We wanted a way to highlight all they have gone on to do since graduating from the university and starting small businesses across PA,” the news release states. “Obviously no harm is meant, we just think ‘Buckeye Tears’ is the perfect name for a beer that will honor Penn State heading to the National Championship in 2023! No one in Ohio wants to see that.”
The beer will be available on tap and in cans at the participating breweries in early October.

"Barkin' up the wrong tree"
Outsider perspective:
Didn't watch any PSU games last year except for the Rose Bowl where they impressed me against a pretty good Utah team.
Have watched 1/2 of the WVU game and 1/2 of the Illinois game.
Analysis: Really good skill position players who are kicking the butts of inferior opponents. Defensive line stands out as being pretty dang good but unchallenged.
Conclusions:
1). Initial advantages will come to a grinding halt when playing a coaching staff > or = to PSU. This is true of most Franklin coached teams.
2). I do not believe Allar has enough to beat quality opponents by himself if the run is neutralized. FWIW - I don't think Carson Beck has that in him either.
3). Michigan and OSU will out coach them both.
