Not much of a fan, but how about Penn St now?

Granted, they haven't played much as far as teams go, but the heart they had in the come from behind against Northwestern, and the points they put up against a decent Minnesota team is starting to make me a little curious to as how long they can keep it up.

Any thoughts?

    I read somewhere their opponent's rating is (by far) the weakest of any team this year...though to win week in and out is impressive. Now when you start scheduling Div 1-AA (like the noles), those shouldn't count as wins.

    We'll see if Joe Pa can keep it up against good competition.

    Come on, you really think Minny is the 18th best team in the land?

    And doofus? Are the Penn St. fans talking trash? When's the last time you were any good? 20 years ago?

    Go back to under your rock.

    18th, no not really, but they are still showing that they are finally putting an effort into winning. They are putting up good points this year, so even though they might not be playing many good defenses, their offense is FINALLY working.

    Wow it's hillarious that 'fans' come out of nowhere when 'their' teams start to win.

    First skip2mylou aka joe stalin, saying what huge FSU fans they are.

    Now this penn st. clown.



    Who's next? Where are the Bengal fans that are going to start claiming life long fandom?



    Friends don't let friends ride bandwagons.

    Again I will say that I am not much of a fan, but I would like to see them do well this year since my team can't.

    And you are one of the 3 people on here that I knew would say that.

    I need to change my saying:

    Friends don't let friends root for the Seminoles.

    Uhm?

    "No. 6 Florida State defeated Syracuse 38-14 Saturday."

    Is this the new math I keep hearing about? Is being ranked #6 now count as being top 5?

    Please, explain to me how this can be!

    Let's try to talk them into taking another week off when they play Meeshigan. Okay?image

    I'd love to see those over-rated Florida teams in a conference like the Big10.

    There's not another conference around where just about any team can beat the other, no matter the ranking.

    Michigan pulled a rabbit out of their hat today.image

    Nice to see a class institution winning again, unlike schools like FSU and Okiehomo.

    I'm not sure what Penn State has yet but we're 5 - 0 and I'll take it!

    <<< Nice to see a class institution winning again >>>

    Thanks for the comment Mike - Our two colleges have had some good football battles in the past...Notre Dame always a class act also.

    Hell, I'm still here and the Ducks slaughtered Stanford today after getting slaughtered last week by USC. Personally I do not care if Penn State is real good or not. I'm just happy Joe has got off to a good start this year. The guy has class.

    Nobody has to be a Penn State fan to respect the tremendous and remarkable job that Joe Paterno has done. I'll admit - I thought, as well as many others, that his better coaching days were behind him. Perhaps not - and if Joe proves me wrong I would be most sincerely glad of that.
