Blackledge is the best analyst going right now.

One of the best. I like Nessler as well.

The last time we played a game on October 25th was in 2008. We beat.....Ohio State...13-6 at Columbus. In the last 50 years we are 5-1 on October 25th, including a 23-3 win at Alabama in 1986.

Well damn. I guess there's a chance we win, but I'm not holding my breath.

Me too. I really like Blackledge- he's solid. Spiels is getting better too, I hope he sticks with it because he will be really solid if he keeps it up.

Yeah, but what about years when tOSU played PedState on a Saturday?

Or, games that started at noon vs. games that started at 3:30?

What about games on network vs. ESPiN?

Temps above vs. below 40F?

Games I attended vs. games I watched at home*?
*Games I watched at home and made Velveeta/salsa dip vs. games when I didn't?

You know, all the really relevant statistics that don't bother with trivial incidentals like coaches, players, current season's performance, yada yada.

What's funny is two posts later PennStateNate chimes in with:

9-7 all time on Oct 25th

 

[LostLassie]

Well, alrighty then. 56% to 44%. Sounds definitive to me.

Hey, wanna jump into that swimming pool over there? The odds are a spectacular 56 to 44 % that it isn't chock full of piranhas.

Looking forward to a historic beatdown of PSU Saturday. It needs to happen because Ohio State needs it to move up, to make some PSU commmits/recruits think twice, and because it is just.

The only thing I can think of that PSU has as advantages are 1) home field "white out" 2) Ohio State taking them lightly. I think that the "white out" thing has lost its mystique, and I trust that Urban will take care of the other concern.

You mean another historic beatdown?

Excuse me. Yes, another historic beatdown is what I meant. :)

That flick was disturbing.

 

[OSUK]

Are you saying we should go so far as to unleash the Bear Jew on Ped State? Might be over-KILL.

 

[Yertle]

Prepare yourselves, Nittany Assholes. You are about to be on the receiving end of a statement game.
