hey MichNitt. How's your game going today?*
- Thread starter ArrowheadBlue
- Start date
I blame the conspiracy.
Remember, if a B1G referee is from MI, he LOVES UM and hates Penn St.
However, if a B1G ref is from PA, he hates Penn St and is a a huge Pitt fan.

Couldn't believe on that last drive that Pitt rushed 4 and they got burned. Then the new qb (who played well) made the rookie mistake on the road. This is also going to apply to UM. Can your qb not make the big mistake on the road.
Looks like I'm being called out. I wonder why? I know the answer to that. Sort of the same reason people get on me on my own home board (BWI). I dared to challenge the "groupthink" that some folk like to engage in on Rivals message boards.
Anyway, whatever. I'll man up and answer the question posed to me.
"My" game today, I suppose, was Cincinnati @ Purdue. That's where I was today. I take my nephew to a Cincinnati Bearcats road game every year (along with a couple home games at Nippert), and West Lafayette was the trip this year. I am doing my duty, making sure my Ohio-raised nephew roots for someone "acceptable" and does not jump to the dark side and become an Ohio State fan.
Anyway, we had a good time, I just got back. Cincinnati is not a bunch of world-beaters themselves this year, yet the Bearcats still won pretty easily. Another rough year is ahead for Purdue. On the plus side, the Boilers finally got rid of their ratty-ass bleachers in the South End Zone, and replaced them with a Beer Garden! So that's an improvement.
As for Penn State (yes, I know that's what this thread was about) --- I haven't seen any of the game outside of the final PSU drive. I'll watch the tape tomorrow AM. There was a thread on the Pittsburgh board where people posted predictions and I gave mine: I thought Pittsburgh would win by 3 and I was exactly correct! Of course, I predicted 20-17. Not quite, ha ha. Not sure the last time PSU played a game where 81 points were scored in regulation. I guess things are different, it's not the usual PSU football of "bad offense, good defense", but perhaps the exact opposite. Franklin, for his own sake, does need to beat some credible opponents -- today was a chance, road wins are never easy and this would have been one against a fairly decent foe. As is often the case (e.g., most recently at Northwestern and in the Bowl Game vs. Georgia in 2015), he didn't get it done.

Went to a Purdue game a few years ago and thought that stadium was one of the worst in the Big Ten. Good to hear they got rid of those bleachers. Not sure why people give you such a hard time here. You've always seemed like one of the few rational PSU fans. And I'll always like someone that calls out that moron who always changes his name on BWI.
