Yummy Pancake: Penn State Football

Many years ago, my friends and I decided to start a group blog. Unfortunately it never amounted to much more than a few of us posting baseball or movie stuff. Some of the stuff that I wrote was decent so I would like to bring them over here. Hope you enjoy. Also, feel free to head over there and have a laugh at some of the stuff Ryan, Offord, and Jason wrote.

This post comes from October 2008. Even then I was upset about people hating on the Big Ten and giving the SEC all that love. Funny thing is, USC beat up PSU in the Rose Bowl. Ohio State lost their bowl game and Florida won the national championship.

With PSU destroying Wisconsin over the weekend, and a bunch of other teams losing, the Nittany Lions have jumped to #3 in the polls. In my opinion they have a real shot of winning the national title this year. I tried to mention this to some people on Saturday, and I gave them this reasoning:

Back in ’05, when they won the Orange Bowl, some people felt that if Texas or USC would have lost during the regular season, PSU would have gotten a shot at the national championship game, which to me always seemed like a bad idea. As much as I love PSU, I never felt they were in the same caliber as Texas or USC.

Fortunately this season, after watching Texas/Oklahoma, I truly believe that PSU is every bit as good as either team. I know some people will say that the Big Ten is weak this year, but come on, PSU has very talented playmakers on both offense and defense, the kind of thing that makes them dangerous, also the same kind of thing that makes national champions…

Plus, all those people ragging on the Big Ten, and talking up the SEC all year, well how well are those teams doing now? Also, aside from USC, the Pac Ten is a joke. The Big 12 is probably the dominant conference this year, with the SEC second, and the Big Ten third…
