My wife had won tickets to the game. Our boys (8 & 6) could have stayed at Grandpa's overnight, but after considering that we'd have gotten home around 4 AM, then would have had to entertain two rambunctious boys on Sunday and go to work on Monday, we turned the tickets down. Never would have imagined turning down free White Out tickets, but it would have killed us.Jaysus said:
Dad is 71 years old. He'd have a heart attack trying to keep up with these two for a weekend.
hate to look ahead, but i'm actually more worried about the Gophers. At least there's a bye. but yeah, we haven't been great in East Lansing.
It's not like we don't have 4 RBs that can all be feature backs for any team.
Not like they are going to score. Even from the PSU 1 yard line. Completely and utterly pathetic football team. :X
Yeah, I don't get it. I just can't be 100% sold on Franklin. No matter the turnout of the game, there always seems to be a handful of bad decisions that seem so obvious.
Hoping that they don't look past Minnesota to OSU. It's hard to tell how good Minnesota is, though. They haven't played anyone.
What’s scary is that if we beat the Gophers and Hoosiers, we roll into the Shoe at 10-0. Giggity.
It will be the game of the year. For the regular season. And all that's at stake is a B1G East Division lead and trip to the B1G title game to play the gophers.
Also no way they're looking past Minnesota. They have Indiana in between Minn and OSU. That one I worry about a bit.
Gopher fan (for PSU fan) checking in.
Hope you're right, they make me nervous. Even if their opponents haven't been good they have beaten them convincingly.
Haven't watched any PSU football this year, but if they can generate a pass rush or cover, they'll be OK. The Gophers look like they can run on anyone, but they've been beating nobodies. Our QB is horrible, and is only starting because the guy who is better is injured. He's a "gamer" which means to me, smoke and mirrors to this point. i hope I'm wrong.
I don't have the ranks or stats but I have thought the PSU Run D has been pretty good this year.
The point I meant to make, but failed at, was regardless of wether or not MN can run the ball, you have to make plays in the passing game to win games like this. I don't see MN doing that consistently enough to keep pace. We have three good receivers, but the QB is another story.
How's your Oline? Because PSU defense has been pretty good about getting to the QB.
The Oline is huge (I think the RT is 6'8" and over 400 lbs), but I think they are better run blockers than pass blockers.
Outside of the Vikes, Minnesota doesn’t seem like football territory to me. IMO, it’s all about hockey at all levels and maybe wrestling as I know pro wrestlers Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar competed there.
