Randaconda posted:What happened? So far, early in the 2nd quarter: - Charles Woodson scores a wide-open touchdown. Michigan 17-0, ABC immediately cuts to a shot of a stunned Jerry Sandusky. "Jerry Sandusky cannot believe it!" - At the end of the 1st quarter, a Penn State TE is absolutely trucked near the sidelines. The Michigan player hits him shoulder to collarbone, but both helmets pop back and both guys are knocked out. ABC goes to commercial for the end of the quarter, and returns to a shot of the dazed Penn State guy on the sidelines, as Keith Jackson tells an amusing story about how the player was knocked out, awoke to "say some funny things" and the players and coaches "all had a good laugh making fun of him for getting his bell rung". - Joe Paterno had his gameplan altered because his quarterback burst into his office to tell him what he saw on film. "And when you have a coach's son at quarterback like Mike McCreary, you've gotta listen to him!" Just, lots of yikes. EDIT: Charles Woodson gets another big gain on a long pass play. Cut to a frustrated Jerry Sandusky on the sidelines. "Jerry Sandusky is really going to be mad if Penn State keeps leaving Woodson alone. Don't be fooled folks, he isn't just a mild-mannered gentleman!" Michigan is crushing Penn State, and ABC is showing Sandusky more than Paterno. "That man right there, Jerry Sandusky, is not a happy camper with his defense" (cut to a small graphic showing yards gained, keeping the camera on Sandusky) AsInHowe fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Aug 27, 2017 |

In the 3rd quarter, a sideline report starts off with "We all know there's so much to admire about Joe Paterno, but one thing I just saw is..." before talking about how Paterno watches film of his opponents. Every possible Paterno praise is fit in, every possible Paterno shot is cut to. When a sideline report is on Michigan, it's just "I talked to Carr, and..." It is 31-0 Michigan at this point. I realized the media idolized Paterno, but I really wasn't expecting anything like this. It's pure adoration, and he's getting his rear end kicked.

He's not even one of the greats and they're kissing his rear end. (ignoring the other stuff, since it' hadn't come out yet)

Late in the 4th quarter, Michigan is up 34-8. ABC has been showing highlights of Nebraska/Missouri all game (the kicked ball TD ending), but just showed the first in-game highlight of Tennessee's Peyton Manning, who threw a touchdown pass. After showing Peyton, ABC cuts back to the game, as Michigan puts in backup QB Tom Brady for the first time today.

(ignoring the other stuff, since it' hadn't come out yet) 3 Big Ten championships is pretty good considering they weren't part of the conference until 1994. That level of fawning is ridiculous but JoePa was undeniably a great coach.

(ignoring the other stuff, since it' hadn't come out yet) Didn't Paterno have a couple of unbeaten teams who were left out in the cold? The guy was a very good coach who had lasting success. I think he probably could've retired ten to fifteen years sooner than he did, though. Edit: apparently he had five unbeaten teams, and won two national titles.

Oh with your edit maybe one of these is the Nebraska year where they shared? Although 3 of those were in the first 8 years he was coaching. e: Somehow PSU went 12-0 in 1973 and ended up ranked 5th. Behind 11-0 Notre Dame, 10-0-1 Ohio State, 10-0-1 Oklahoma (OU and tOSU ties unrelated by the way), and 11-1 Alabama. PSU did not play a ranked team until the last week of the regular season and in the bowl game. Bama lost to Notre Dame, which is why the AP apparently graded them higher with a loss.

Nothing before 79 matters. Penn State was the Boise State of the 70s, but holding on with Bama to the very end made a difference. In the 80s, the scheduling changed and more ranked teams came up. Played for three titles from 1982 to 1986 and that's pretty nuts all things considered.

Let the record show Michigan won half a national title that year and still hasn't won anything of significance since the 50's when nobody cared. gently caress them forever and ever amen. Also I hope Harbaugh is found in a bath tub full of milk.

I really do think we'll win but that's because I am naturally optimistic most of the time. I'd like to see Derwin James stake his claim to the Heisman with like 12 tfl and 6 sacks. I know, I know. Very optimistic.

Kent State coach Paul Haynes has taken a medical leave of absence for 2-3 weeks. Offensive Coordinator Don Treadwell will be interim coach. Paul's good people and hopefully it's just a blip on the radar.
