First of all, thanks to Tangled Up In White and Blue to mentioning us the other day. Tangled is a cool blog and we admire anyone who references Bob Dylan in any facet of life, so check it out! Onto the links.
In Penn State news, Royster shared Big11Ten player of the week honors after his big performance over the weekend. Can’t they just pick one guy? -GoPSUSports-
DE Jerome Hayes is out for the year. We’re late as hell on this one. Too bad that doesn’t it make it suck any less. Any readers out there play D line? -GoPSUSports-
Penn State is #17 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll. Check out where the CBS 120 has them. If you don’t feel like looking, here are some of the teams ahead of them: East Carolina, South Florida, Fresno State, and worst of all, Wake Forest. The ACC should give up its BCS bid. -Laugher-
Of course the big news this weekend is not PSU-Syracuse, believe it or not. It’s the big clash between USC and the Buckeyes of Ohio State. Here’s a lengthy history of the USC-OSU battle. -Bucknuts-
Dennis Dodd thinks that if OSU wants to win, they better play Terrelle Pryor. -Sportsline-
Sweater Vest says Beanie Wells is a go. Beanie Wells says he wants 45 carries. We say Beanie Wells is a moron. -Sportsline-
Bad news for Minnesota, their leading rusher is out for the year. We might have to change our prediction for them to 2 wins instead of 3. Love his first name pronunciation. -Twin Cities-
Hey, speaking of being out for the year, don’t know if you heard about this:
San Diego State is one of the bottom five teams in the country, and Notre Dame BARELY beat them. We think ND sucks, and apparently we’re not alone. -NotreDameSucks-
To all those people who love to extol the virtues of the Big East: well, you’re idiots. We’re two games into the season and you have two unbeaten teams left (and somehow West Virginia is still ranked). -Poop Teams-
Tom Brady.
The last few years have been rough on Ty Willingham. He’s on the hot seat again. -Rivals-
Speaking of Ty Willingham, in case you missed the replays of that insanity at the end of the Washington-BYU game, here you go:
Rant of the week: Okay, we all know that this rule sucks. But everyone should stop blaming this on the refs. It’s a rule, and they enforced it, it’s not their fault. Don’t shoot the messenger, blame the stupid rule. Plus BYU could've blocked that kick just the same if it was kicked from the normal spot. Next time, wait 'til AFTER you tie the game to celebrate, and you won't have this problem.

I'm a lifelong penn state fan, but i just recently graduated from Wake Forest; so i was there to witness them become a good football program. I think penn state is a better team this year, but let me tell you that Wake is a top 20 program and the last couple of years would definitely have given PSU a game.
Yes, that's our point- we think Penn State is a better team this year too! But the actual polls reflect that. No doubt that Wake has progressed, but we haven't watched an ACC game in the last 2 years that's impressed us. Like a lot of folks, we'd love to see some more inter-conference matchups, it's be a good way to gauge how teams stack up.
Yea I agree with you; I do thinkt hat Penn State is better, CBS is retarded simply by the fact that they employ that clown Dennis Dodd who for some reason has a grudge against PSU. He hated on them during the 2005 season. But what I am saying is that I can see why some pollsters would rank Wake higher, simply for the fact that they just beat an SEC team (Ole Miss should be improved this year) and the media sweats the SEC. I still have to say that it was pretty impressive in 06 when Wake slaughtered FSU 30-0 in Tallahassee. Bobby had never been shut out at home. I think Grobe is a genius, and would love to see what he could do with the resources of a big school (wake only has 4500 undergrads). I have always wondered if PSU would look at him as a successor......
