Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[Zurp]

So, you’re saying the ref fund had good ROI this year.

What ref fund?

Actually, I think the game was called pretty fairly. The unsportsmanlike penalty was pretty crazy. Maybe the defender said something, or who knows. He certainly didn't need to step over Tate like that, but I've seen far worse not get called.
The one reception they had that was reviewed and overturned - I thought that could go either way, but really was called correctly in the end. I think the ground bumped it loose a little.
The reception-fumble and then turned into an incompletion - that was correctly overturned. I mean, compared to the play against Clemson, which was bullshit, of course. But this one was close and I think it was correctly turned into an incompletion.
Igbonisun's interception - I don't see how they have much of a complaint, really. Other than to be whiny bitches.
And those 3 running plays - he runs into a pile. I can't see where the ball is in any of them. I doubt anyone else can, either, from the video.
The 4th down pass - throw into triple coverage and there's contact on both sides. It's just a thing.
The only other thing that I can think of was the run by Howard that was later ruled a fumble and ruled out of the endzone - I think they got it right. But PSU fans whine and say it should never have been ruled a touchdown. Boo-fucking-hoo.

So, I don't think the ref fund did much. Maybe that one unsportsmanlike call. A good ref fund would have given us that touchdown. It would have let Igbonisun hang off receivers more. It would have called more holding penalties against Penn State when #44 had the ball.

No way because Allar is turning pro most likely.

Canadian league is calling his name.

The first rule of the ref fund, is we don't talk about the ref fund.

"Igbonisun's interception - I don't see how they have much of a complaint, really. Other than to be whiny bitches."
Stiff arms Igbonisun, never has control of the ball, but Igbonisun does, with foot in bounds, and retains possession to the ground. Spectacular.
If both players had control of the ball with Iggy's foot in bounds, then possession belongs to the offensive player, but he's already out of bounds and he clearly never had control of the ball.

Question: other OSU fan sites claim Franklin blamed the loss on the refs and that he was fined 25k for shouting fuck your 3 times to a ref. Amy truth to the stories?

Ha - they're mad that an Ohio State player threw a towel at Penn State's quarterback. Well, one guy is. The rest are telling him it's no big deal. He isn't buying it though.

You are seeing what you want to see. In just this PSU game alone from memory I remember the OSU DBs waving their hands to mock PSU's no fly zone celebration, Will Howard signaling first down after a run and celebrating like every team does, one of their defensive players throwing a towel directly at Allar's head when he's already lined up to take a snap. That's one game and only from memory. OSU does all of the same stuff you see from just about every team, every single game.

The towel was thrown to get it out of the way of play; the OSU player tossed it behind the PSU line because he didn't have time to throw it anywhere else and that was the location where it would do the least damage.

I have seen players throw towels out of their way a ton of times. Never once have I see someone throw it towards an opposing player, until last Saturday. They usually throw it somewhere on their own side of the ball but away from where anyone is standing so it's out of the way.

Well, they were backed up to their own goal line and time was running down; I had no problem with that incident. I assume that it was a PSU player's towel, so perhaps that why he tossed it in the PSU backfield.

So he didn't have time to just toss it behind him or to the side, but he did have time to first determine the owner of said towel so he could throw it to that side of the line of scrimmage? I don't even care about the towel thing, it's just an example that OSU players aren't the choir boys you seem to think they are. I have little doubt whoever threw that towel knew exactly what they were doing when throwing it at Allar's face while he was lined up to take a snap.

Let's take a look at that play:

It came from a Penn State lineman who looked like he tried to throw it backward and did a really bad job at it, so it landed between him and the Ohio State defensive line. The Ohio State lineman decided to take the randomness of a towel (who knows who might slip on it?) out of the play by giving it back to Penn State, and the Penn State fan thinks it was somehow malicious.

I didn't realize Allar's face was in his dick. That guy thinks very highly of JTT's ability to pick up a towel and then ferociously whip it with ill intent directly at somebody's head.....all while making it look like he's just tossing it out of the way. It must have taken him years to hone his craft.

Bending over for a towel in Happy Valley... so many jokes.

Peacock - I’m not watching this stupid game

First, they put PSU/OSU at noon and now we have to subscribe to an unpopular streaming service for the white out? I’m not doing that…not giving them the satisfaction of making me pay more for a game that could easily be on cable. This is not even to mention that James Franklin’s squads...

Title is about crying about Peacock, but he takes a shot at how their game against Ohio State shouldn't have been a noon game.

 

[cincibuck]

Penn State’s White Out vs. Washington is only on Peacock: What that means, how to watch

Not even a Penn State football Whiteout game is immune to the modern economics of college football streaming.

There's an opening paragraph or two, and then the meat of the article starts. The first paragraph of the meat is about how Ohio State was NOT their white out game. Ha.

So the only way you can get up for a "Rivalry Game" is to play at night and do a white out. So must not have been a "Rivalry Game."

You can't have a "rivalry game" against a team that isn't a rival.

I was just thinking.... next year might be "their year", since they don't play Ohio State.
Well, maybe in the CCG. Ha - how great would that be?

We play Penn St. at home next year. They go off the schedule the following two years, however.

Ha..

The inconsistency is baffling. The Warren fumble is a perfect example - exact same play from the OSU game, and outcome is different week to week.

It's not the "exact same play"--Warren actually had possession. Last week, their was no possession--he was still bringing it in

I thought Tyler caught the ball, took a solid step with it, and had it stripped at the time of the play. The replays showed the same thing in slow mo. The ref got it right on that call.

The same exact thing happened last week when the PSU defender knocked the ball loose from duhO$U receiver. It was called a "catch and fumble" on the field - PSU possession (identical to yesterday). Replay Review looked at both - they called yesterday's "Play Stands As Called", but somehow reversed last weeks call when the video evidence is utterly inconclusive and shows the exact same type of "possession" by the receiver (ball knocked lose immediately after it is tucked and receiver has turned upfield).

Both calls were correct...not the "exact same thing"

Not having Peacock, I hadn't seen the play.



Go to 7:36.
He catches it at the 31, and fumbles at the 34. Far from "the exact same play".
