I missed everything in the last five hours, so color me extremely surprised.

score doesn't reflect it, but PSU looked like garbage for most of the game yesterday, Northwestern's awful defense shut down Barkley and the non-existent offense kept giving Penn State the ball on the 50 for the entire second half until the defense gassed out. An actual Big Ten team can beat them.

I was very frustrated that everything seemed to be "Barkley can't run? TRACE DRAW PLAY!!!!" instead of unleashing the dragon, which worked a ton last year.

Zero.

Facts matter little to the kind of person who'll ignore that millenials have fought the longest war in American history, and spent a subset of that time fighting two wars concurrently.

But yeah, 'war is great for making real men' or whatever idyllic WWII horseshit some shitheel from Texas wants to peddle.

But such a vanishingly small number of us actually had to join, let alone see combat!

Nevermind that almost no one actually saw combat during WWII even, as a percentage of the overall troop strength and casualty rates have never been high enough to "thin out" a generation in the US, even accounting for the appalling death rate is in the Civil War.

I think Wisconsin was Penn State's other division team. I know it wasn't Nebraska, because that was the one I'd have preferred.

The team splits from the Leaders and Legends days probably would have been fun in the long term, but they poisoned it with the moron names. I wish they'd gone with vaguely regional names like "Rivers and Lakes" or "Steel and Corn."

I can't imagine Penn State had any clout, that was all going down while the Sandusky scandal was breaking.

In a more sane world, perhaps. But Barry Alvarez said as much. The Big Ten had to grab at least one eastern team to keep Penn State from exploring options and, in turn, locking the conference out of the sweet sweet North East Corridors market.

I can't read those names as anything other than Normandy and Guantanamo.
