I've been thinking about my unbridled hatred of the Buckeyes and I've come up with another very good reason for hating them. Think back to the game where Adam Taliaferro got hurt (Adam, you're the man by the way!) It wasn't a close game. In fact, the score was Tosu 45 PSU 6. After Adam got hurt Penn State players and coaches were visibly moved, some of them were crying on the sideline. Then, in all its classy glory, Tosu decided to punch the ball in the endzone. That is the moment when my hatred of Tosu crystalized forever.
If you are trying to figure out if the Penn State vs. Tosu game will be televised you can find a coverage map here. I'm totally in the yellow!
For my prediction:
PSU: 18
Tosu: 17
(shameless homerism at its best)
GO STATE! BEAT THE BUCKEYES!

I still remember a professor at the time taking a moment at the end of class to tell us how classless that move was, he tied it in very nicely with business ethics. Punching it in for another score was unconscionable and that was the moment I went from disliking Ohio St to hating them.
Unfortunately I'm not holding out much hope for an upset, we're still too green, but ruining there chance for a national championship would be sweet indeed.
18 points...
what's your prediction? 6 field goals? 2 touchdowns and 2 safeties/pats ran back to the endzone? 3 touchdowns with 3 missed pats? 2 touchdowns with 2 missed pats and 2 field goals? 2 touchdowns, one with a 1 pt pat and one with a 2 pt pat, one field goal? 1 touchdown, 1 touchdown with missed pat, 1 field goal and 1 safety/pat ran back to the endzone...
I met a Brazilian girl tonight who graduated from PSU the same year I did and she said we were going to win. So that means we will win. It is simple. (For those of you in the know: No Z button...letter-bomb.)
Actually, any of those combinations would be good as long as PSU scores at least one point more than Tosu!
