It's getting ugly


GT 24

Virginia 0

[Petronski]

I'm thinking this might be a pretty bad week for Penn State.

Sadly, that's my impression too.

[MikefromOhio]

Hey man

I got a moral dilemma here...

the line I used for this game adjusted down today and I didn't catch it (BetUS.com on sports.yahoo.com)....

They list the line that I normally use at -16 and right now the game is at -17 which is what I listed....

Should I count it?

[MikefromOhio]

Sadly, that's my impression too.

There's nothing sad about it :)

[JeffAtlanta]

I think that Penn State really played over their heads in that game. It was at home, at night and they had the white out going.

If I were an elite team like OSU, I would avoid away games at night if I could as they are ripe for upsets but they might not have control over that - I imagine the BIG 10 has a contract with ESPN the way that the SEC does.

OSU moved the ball well and to me seemed to be the dominant team but PSU came up with the big plays. PSU's defense played lights out that night, but some of that talent is in the NFL now so I don't know if they can repeat something like that again - especially since OSU's offense seems even better this year and it is at OSU.

I would put money on it, but I think their may be a 30 point difference in this game unless OSU just comes out totally flat or Joe Pa comes up with a defensive scheme like he did against Miami in 1985.

[MikefromOhio]

I'm pretty sure OSU won't come out flat....that was last week.

But I wouldn't be surprised of Paterno has a few wrinkles up his sleeve for the game.

He needs something to spark his team.

[Petronski]

Don't be smug. It's unbecoming.

[MikefromOhio]

Don't be smug. It's unbecoming.

I'll take that as a compliment from a Squeeler fan :)

[lepton]

I'll be stuck at my sister inlaws wedding

She's your sister-in-law now?

[MikefromOhio]

She's your sister-in-law now?

??? My wife's sister is my sister in law the last time I checked...

[Petronski]

Okay, be smug. But you sound like a . . .


. . . wait for it . . .


Cowboy fan.

[cue scary segue music]






;OD

[lepton]

I'll have a small radio in my coat pocket with an earpiece and my dad is bringing his small TV to we can watch the game...

Innappropriate cheering can be worse than not showing up at all... :)

[Petronski]

Believe me...take the Acorns, give the points.

[MikefromOhio]

Those are almost fighting words, except I'm a Browns fan and won't cheer for lesser teams....

:)

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

Oh it'll go off during the ceremony (I'm doing pictures for it), but right before and then right after....

[MikefromOhio]

Final Score:

Georgia Tech 24

Virginia 7

The bastards gave me a push.....the game wasn't nearly as close as the score might indicate. It was never in doubt.

[lepton]

??? My wife's sister is my sister in law the last time I checked...

Ah, right. I was thinking like "brother's wife."

[catholicfreeper]

YEah WAC games are cool. I love Louisiana Tech. Perhaps it is our year lol

[Wyatt's Torch]

Have to disagree on the Auburn-Buffalo score. We won't keep the starters in long enough to score 58. Kenny Irons isn't playing at all. We have a short week and go to Columbia next Thursday night to play Darth Visor. I'll be surprised if we get to 40.

You can only be held against what info you had at the time of the pick.
