I have misplaced my pants.
I was going to say, "They're already complaining about the officials against Ohio State this year," but they really haven't stopped since last year.

Once they perfect their impending dominance over the B1G, maybe they can work on dominating the AAC.

Since this glorious rise to the top of the B1G:
Ped State is 83-38 with 2 B1G Co-Championships (Both ties with the Buckeyes)
Ohio State is 107-19 with 7 B1G Championships (1 has been vacated, making it 6), 1 National Championship, while having played for 2 others
Yep.... just like the collapse of the Berlin Wall

The best part (and there are many) is that they were a 4 point favorite in that game

Ha - I was just about to say that I didn't think they were underdogs by that much. I would have guessed 2-4 point underdogs. I didn't know that they were favorites to win the game. I thought that "one of the greatest upsets of all time" should be a little more significant than 2-4 point underdogs. But if you're right, then they're more pathetic than I had believed.

For the record, you are incorrect on this one --- Ohio State was a 4-point favorite. Confirmed via my own database and multiple sources on the web.
Penn State was a favorite (2 points) in the 2008 game in Columbus --- I know there are some PSU folk who view that victory as an "upset" --- so maybe you got the 2005 & 2008 games mixed up.

More importantly, how do you feel about this piece (the rail, of course) of contrived history?

What is wrong with PSU "memorializing" the 2005 Ohio State game? It was a "relative turning point" in terms of PSU football history. Look at these adjacent 5-year eras:
In the 2000-2004 era, PSU had 4 losing seasons out of 5. The one winning season, PSU still lost 4 times and finished ranked #16.
In the 2005-2009 era, PSU won 2 B1G championships and finished in the Top 10 3 times.
There's a pretty big difference between those 2 adjacent 5-year eras, and the "turning point" between those 2 eras was the OSU game, a hard-fought upset victory (and it was an upset, the upstream poster was incorrect in saying that Penn State was favored) in a pretty electric environment against one of college football's powerhouses. OF COURSE that game is going to be remembered and memorialized!
A question for you: as an Ohio State fan do you have good memories of Jim Tressel's guarantee back in January 2001? That was a "relative turning point" too: OSU had a horrible record against U-M in the 1990s, of course, but Tressel makes the guarantee and things have been completely different vs. your big rival ever since.

Rise of a new rule?
On your question, fond memories - yes.... Do I have a piece of the basketball arena he delivered it in, along with some bullshit commentary? No.

You are correct, OSU was -4 in 2005 game
the rise of a new rule part is still quite hilarious. They went 9-4 two years straight following that.

In response to their whine of "This never happens to OSU", an OSU fan says that we got properly fucked against Illinois in 07. This was their reply
I would LOVE to see their reaction if it happened to them. I'm sure they'd be all level headed and say "relax guys, it was a bad call, but it's on us for not challenging it and it's only the first quarter."
