I Would Become Fathead's Bitch For This
I would absolutely sell out whatever credibility TINNOMJ ever had (if any) in order to pimp how awesome this Fathead is, provided, of course, that Fathead sends me one for free. This is a great opportunity for you Fathead! Think about it! You send me this Fathead for free, I tell people it is awesome, because it is. Everybody wins.
It costs $200 but it is totally worth it.
I saw it first over at TNL.
GO STATE!

Getting Fired Up!
Just re-watched PSU vs. Tosu 2008. It is as awesome as you remember.
Navarro was a goddamn bear. The thought of teams having to account for both him and Sean get me all pumped.
What really stuck out to me though was how (relatively) early in the game TP's fumble was. In my mind it sticks out as the play of the game and I remembered Rubin poking the ball away late in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
While it was the play of the game, the fumble occurred in the 3rd quarter and PSU was trailing at the time! The next drive is where Devlin leads the team down the field and then pushes the ball into the end-zone himself.
Which leads me to mourn the loss of Devlin all over again. Mr. Devlin was a good player who knew the offense and could clearly play at a high level in college. It was clearly illustrated as he just steps right in and leads PSU down the field on a game winning drive, on the road, on national TV. The guy could play.
If you need a reminder as to why offensive linemen are some of the most important players on the field just go and watch the last quarter of this game. Shipley and the gang completely took over the game. They just pushed the Buckeyes out of the way. The O-line is the reason why the Lions widened the lead to seven and probably won.
Also, they played Brandi Carlile's The Story which just made me go download it and get all fired up!
I feel like 2009 is going to be another good year.
I'm all jacked up on coffee and Penn State's excellence!

Rewatching The Iowa Game
I feel like this is something I need to do and I also feel like I'm ready to rewatch this game without being driven mad.
A quick thought on Royster; Royster has a peculiar ability to not only commit to the hole and run with power but he is equally capable of running "skinny" while in in traffic. By "skinny" I mean that he never seems to take direct and punishing contact he just turns his body and takes a glancing blow or spins off. Terriffic.
The offense in general looks great in the first half of this game. I have no idea how the Lions dropped this game.
Offensive line was great last year. Run blocking and pass blocking all members of the line were very solid. You have to figure if the starters were great last year that the younger players have to be pretty good behind them. Right? I mean, the Lions' line will be fine in '09, right?
Shonn Greene was a great college player. I hope he is able to stand up-right by the time he is thirty because Iowa gave him the ball every damn time and he gets hit three times per carry.
By comparison, Stepfon Green is just fucking fast. Stepf seems to have limitless potential to be a game-changer but there was something missing. I don't know if he will improve as he becomes more comfortable with the offense.
This game is the perfect example of missed opportunities costing a team. PSU was dominating Iowa through the first three quarters but the Nits had a really tough time putting the ball in the endzone and it came back to bite them. Sigh. I also think PSU will take heating machines on every road game from now on regardless of the forecast.
I could not be more excited to watch Bowman and Sean Lee get a chance to play together. The Defensive line had to be dominant in 2008, however, in 2009 as long as the D-line can occupy blocks Lee and Bowman will take care of the rest.
