Burn It All

Is a napalm strike still an option?

http://www.blackshoediaries.com/2012/10/28/3566384/the-letdown-ohio-state-35-penn-state-23

Penn State deserved better. The coaching staff, the team, the fanbase. Given everything that's happened in the past 12 months, tonight was supposed to be a celebration, and a statement that despite the sanctions and the penalties and all the crap we've taken, that Penn State Is Back. Failing that, a reminder that at least we're still going to be able to hold our own, and hang with the big boys, that our coaching staff would push all the right buttons and our players' energy and guts would at the very least keep Penn State in games through sheer power of will.

And before the referees took over, we got exactly the game we wanted, though not necessarily in the way we expected it.

Allow me to clarify for Devon Edwards, who allegedly failed to report deviant sexual acts on campus. Penn State deserves nothing. They should be sending fruit baskets instead of hate mail to Emmert. If not for him business owners in State College would be cashing welfare checks to mitigate the effects of a four year football vacation. This is the problem with a severe penalty vs a death sentence, instead of four years reflecting on what went wrong and how to fix things, they spend it instead playing the victim. Pathetic.

From the rule book...
NCAA Rule Book said:
Contact Against the Snapper
ARTICLE 14. When a team is in scrimmage kick formation, a defensive player
may not initiate contact with the snapper until one second has elapsed after the
snap (A.R. 9-1-14-I-III).

I think it was Gerdeman that tweeted this earlier and a response was something to the effect that this guys is a 6x World Champion.

I am embarrassed that our society awards a world champion for fire baton twirling, or whatever, and doesn't deport him.

Yep. Fortunately, I think the Bert O'Blentley era has reached its zenith. The wave broke Saturday night.

Saturday night, Penn State played what might be the most important game for the football program in the next 5 years. And we really have to hope that it's not all downhill from here.

It is.

At his defense- Devon is a good guy, at least he has been in the conversations we've had over the last two years.. And, he goes on to say that Urban makes halftime adjustments and BoB didn't... and that was the game.

I understand the frustration with the PSU butthurt, but also know that this is a part of their grieving process. For them, this was THE GAME, the moment that everything would be OK, for this season and moving forward. This response is both Denial and Anger... and is one that Buckeye fans can relate to.

Hell, last week, had the Purdue game not ended as it did, part of our conversation (in addition to 'Hope Braxton is OK' and 'Wow, we played like crap') would have been the one-sided officiating. It was a topic of a lot of discussion anyway, and our team won... with a lot less on the line.

As for me, I've decided to just let the PSU stuff ride out... nothing anyone says, on any message board or online article will take away the W from Ohio State. Crappy officiating didn't throw yet another Pick 6. Crappy officiating didn't break up a fake punt. Crappy officiating didn't account for 32 yards rushing. And, as you know, nothing that anyone says to or about them will change their minds anyway.

Soon, hopefully, they'll move on to Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance. They've got a good coach and some solid things to build on, in spite of the NCAA sanctions.

Plus, I'm more than glad to discuss officiating with them if they'd like... think they're ready to give back the 1982 Penn State game that cost Nebraska a national title?

I don't care how good of a guy he is. Give him a call and tell him it's complete bullshit that Penn State fans act like victims. In fact, it's sickening and downright deplorable. Just because you like a guy does not excuse continual crap like this. Their university destroyed lives, and continued to do it for years knowing full well what they were doing. Every single one of their writers should start off every single article with "thankfully I can actually write an article on Penn State football, because we are incredibly lucky Penn State is playing football at all." Screw them and their "woe is us" bullcrap. On top of all of that, they don't deserve anything. Well, not anything good. You know what I would have preferred? The refs stand in the middle of the field at the start of the game, flip the bird to every single one of those cult members, declare Ohio State the winner of the game, and then walk off. Even after that they would not have the right to complain, because that is still better than what they deserve.

Are we talking about the same group of fans who still desperately cling to being an "elite" college football program after two decades of mediocrity (which is a giant conspiracy and has nothing to do with how good their teams are, of course) in the Big Ten?

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath.

As was noted there is a time limit. I wouldn't have posted the 1 second limit if I didn't know the rule. And it may not have been the correct ruling on the field but the official was correct that there was a penalty on the play.
