Boy am I glad my nerd school doesn’t have a football team. More money for, say, the nuclear reactor we have on campus, or the internationally acclaimed French program. But we have some great hip-hop groups …
VV, look on the bright side. It doesn’t look like Penn State is going to win a game this year. They’re pretty much a lock for the first pick in the draft next year, and I’m sure they’ll get a superstar in the making.
Oh yeah; this is college. Never mind.
Sucks to be you!
Bwahahahahaha!
Clarification: That “sucks to be you” isn’t directed at Vinnie, but at PSU football fans.
Who would have ever thought their basketball team would be better than their football team?!?
Matt:
Some people go cross-eyed and drooling over Penn State without even mentioning football. I feel sorry for the poor Golden Retriever I saw who was named Nittany. Those idiots passed on their patheticness to an innocent dog.

Haha, funny you should mention that. My father had the very same cardboard cutout of Joe Paterno, back in the mid-1980s. While my family used to live in College Park, they weren’t rabid fans, and he had the cutout more as a joke. He worked for a fairly prominent magazine during the 1980s and early 1990s, and the cutout was used to display messages (you know, Joe Paterno Sez: “Don’t forget to make a new pot of coffee if you kill the old one, folks!”).
Ahh memories.
With regards to your rant, my brother attends Penn State (none of us now live there, having moved over to the decadence of the Eastern Seaboard), and doesn’t follow the team . So give them some credit; not everybody there is obsessed with football, and most who are aren’t as boorish as you’re making them out to be.
I would. The unfortunately named “Lady Lion” women’s basketball team has been quietly kicking butt for years, lost in the shadows of the football hype. The men’s team had a less remarkable record when I was there, but still showed promise.
I’m not sure how to take either of those comments, especially as both parents, both sisters and one brother-in-law all went to the State Pen…er, Penn State. Admittedly, none of us really care that much about football, and it is entirely possible to get a decent education for the price there. Now if they would only stop asking me for money…
you rock, vinnie! too damn funny! it’s nice to see the fake-mighty fall!
while i’m in here…FUCK NOTRE DAME! FUCK LOU HOLTZ! FUCK ANY TEAM LOU HOLTZ IS CURRENTY INVOLVED WITH! FUCK THE BUS COMPANY THAT HAULS LOU HOLTZ AROUND! (all better now!)
i just wanna say that MY team knocked off Oklahoma when they were #1, and we beat the “shittney lions” last time we played them, too! (i need to point these things out, as we certainly suck burro genitalia this season, and last season, too!)
What the FUCK is wrong with the people who go to Penn State? Are they PUSSIES or don’t they love their school? Shit, when I was bad-mouthing Texas A&M a couple weeks ago I got what bordered on a DEATH THREAT, ferchrissake.
Ave Maria, on three, break!
I’ve always wondered how Notre Dame gets all those candidates for the priesthood to play football. They are all in the School of Religion, aren’t they?
University of Iowa = Hawkeye
Ohio State University = BUCKeye
Just what were you DOING at your university? Were you on the Marching Bong team? **

This is pretty good, I gotta admit. And as a (sort of) proud grad of OSU (Class of 2000, duly noted in this forum somewhere) I must say I’m disappointed at all the OSU bashing. Someone commented earlier that all his friends who went to OSU “became rambling drunks.”
But of course, my friend. Drunkenness, quarterly student riots, the sting of tear gas in the eyes, all these things and more contribute to the valuable experience that is the The Ohio State Community. It just isn’t spring in Columbus until one warms one’s hands at an old couch put to the torch in the middle of the street, or does their daily good deed by giving a local man money to “help feed his family.”
Drugs, guns, whores; all can be had for a much better price within ten minutes of the OSU campus than just about anywhere else in Ohio south of Cleveland, and that’s no mean feat.
I mean, at what other school in the country can you share your apartment complex with dope dealers, ex cons, alcoholics, and a group of brave footsoldiers for the Earth Liberation Front? Diversity like this cannot be simply conjured up. No no, my friend. It takes effort to aquire.
So the next time you’re tempted to bash the home of the Buckeyes, please THINK about what you are saying, and remember all that you missed by going to school elsewhere.
Waitaminute…first, Penn State fans get bashed for being too rabidly devoted to their school and football team, and now Penn State fans get bashed for not being devoted enough? Ya can’t win for losing around here…
I don’t “love” my alma mater. I enjoyed my time there, I got a decent education and have many fond memories of my time in college, but have now moved on with my life. I wish the university all success but frankly, if the football team lost all its games and was forced to play Upper Podunk Community College or Wassamatta U. next season, it wouldn’t affect my life one bit.
See? That’s EXACTLY the pussy attitude I was referring to! You are supposed to be mindlessly devoted to your team—I mean, school—and there you go, being reasonable and all. Where is the PSU equivalent to Space Ghost who is going to post a link on a rabid PSU site so we can get some people to DEFEND the school?
