“Lee’s Knees Award”, Once again, classless OSU fan! Please don’t sink to the level of a Michigan fan. That being said, the behavior of these Sean Lee crusaders was, well…shameful. OSU will lose to USC and Wisconsin, mark it down.

Unfortunately, the Downtown Athletic Club won’t be giving anyone the Butkus this year.

Yeah, Penn State was in the Atlantic 10 in all sports except football, which they were independant. It just so happened that most football independants ended up joining the Big East, with Penn State as a huge exception.

Penn State, other than the “dark ages” of 2000-2004, which I’d like to forget, has been above average in the Big 10. “Average” is more like Purdue, Northwestern, Minnesota, and lately Iowa. Penn State is more like Wisconsin or old Iowa than a mid-level team. And yes, we are still “Linebacker U”, but you can’t expect to win games when your offense puts out so little that you win or lose games with baseball scores. The 12-0 victory over Purdue, the 14-9 loss to Michigan, and that dreaded 6-4 loss to Iowa are perfect examples of too much expected out of a great defense.

Also, while there have been crime problems lately, they are not unique to Penn State. The thug problem is prevalent in many other football programs, but it’s just such a shock because Penn State has a tradition of excellence and running a good clean program. But at least they’ve mostly purged the team of those elements. With a team like LSU, they’d try to make excuses for their players, example, Ryan Perriloux. If he played for Penn State, he’d have been kicked off the team long ago.

I’m not too surprised that this is on an Ohio State blog. Penn State is easily Ohio State’s second biggest rival. Naturally, you’d expect anyone to take a shot at the team they love to hate.

Penn State was never in the Big East.
