Maybe CFB really is all about the Benjamins?

Horse N Buggy — Sat, 16 May 2009 16:40:20 -0000

Take a look at this article found on Rivals / Yahoo! Sports. Apparently Delaware State is willing to forfeit one of it's conference games this year to go to Ann Arbor (is a whore) and play Michigan instead. From the article:

Delaware State, a I-AA program, is forfeiting a conference game to North Carolina A&T because Delaware State wants to play Michigan instead. And by "wants," I mean they have the opportunity to cash in for a bodybag appearance in Ann Arbor in mid-October. All anyone's saying is the two MEAC schools "could not agree" on a date to reschedule the game, and now NCA&T is 1-0. In May.

What say you, gents? Is a big payday worth it if you're being paid to fall down in front of a powerhouse team? (Or in front of Michigan?)

Can Delaware State pull an Appalachian State and upset the less-than-stellar Wolverines? Let's hope so. Go HORNETS!

Also, GO BACON.

case anyone wants to add comments about the 2 college basketball games today, here is your thread. UConn vs. Missouri up first and Villanova vs. Pittsburgh tonight.

Also, the D2 championship game was quite awesome, with the championship being won on a buzzer beater in overtime.

Also, since I need 75 words - Everyone's favorite infomercial guy, Vince from SHAMWOW, was arrested for beating up a hooker. For the full story and mugshot goodness, check out this link.

State College 4th-best college sports town

Horse N Buggy — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:40:55 -0000

Forbes magazine has ranked the top 10 college sports towns, and State College came in at #4.

On a related note, Forbes also ranked the 20 most valuable college football programs, and Penn State landed at #13 on that list, with a team value of $69 million.

Also noteworthy - Penn State was ranked behind Big Televen rivals tO$U (#10) and scUM (#4). Surprisingly, we also ranked lower than some stupid cocks... South Carolina Gamecocks. How does that even happen?

Who topped the list? Here's a hint...the coach is the only man in the world to have eaten every item on this website...in one sitting.

Ball State Cowards

This would have been an awesome game...too bad it won't happen now.

Penn State Bar Map Mashup

Horse N Buggy — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:08:04 -0000

Want to find a bar showing the PSU game near you? Thanks to everyone who wrote about their favorite bar in the PSU bar post last month. I took the info listed there and created a Google Maps Mashup for each bar.

Click on any of the points of interest and get info from other BSDers about the bar, the address, and the website and food/beer specials (if available).

If you have a bar you would like to add, just post the info in the comments and I will add it to the mashup. I'm sure there are still tons of PSU bars that are not on the map.

Let me know what you think.

Evans & Koroma 'probably' back for tomorrow's game

Horse N Buggy — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:27:57 -0000

Evans & Koroma 'probably' back for tomorrow's game, says tWWL / ESPN / the station that showed USC get beaten by the team we killed by 39 points.

75 words is the rule, 75 words makes the tool, 75 words I love beer, 75 words have no fear, 75 words long island iced tea, 75 words I have to pee.

I hate when the porto-potties overflow!

Gameday tailgates, traditions & superstitions

Horse N Buggy — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:53:00 -0000

Kickoff is only 92 hours away, and if you're a Penn State football lunatic like me, you're already getting ready for the opener this weekend.

So what do you do for Penn State games? If you go to the games, is there anything special you do at your tailgate? Do you do shots of Jack Daniels every time some shouts "WE ARE". Or what about the food. Do you serve something unique that no other tailgate has, like Rocky Mountain oysters?

What about for away games or games that you watch at home? Do you have some lucky underwear that you wear every game? Or do you throw darts at your lucky #14 jersey every time PSU throws an interception?

Let's share some stories about the wild $hit we do on gameday.

Let's see how many posts we can start with the phrase, "This one time, when I was really drunk..."

Player Nicknames

Horse N Buggy — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 19:45:38 -0000

So this topic has come up on a few threads, and I figured it's time for it to have a thread of it's own. It's time to come up with some player nicknames for the 2008 season.

Special shout out to user "BlueWhiteLife" who originally came up with the nickname suggestion.

Here are some that I have come up with. Please add to the list in the comments section and we can create a poll later to see who has the best nickname for the 2008 season.

Evan "Rolls" Royster

Josh "No pain, No" Gaines

Rich "Toot my own" Ohrnberger

Dan "Breaking the" Lawlor

Jordan "Morning" Norwood

Micky "The Schooler" Shuler

A.Q. "You sunk my Battle" Shipley

Maurice "Stairway to" Evans

Chris "Coca" Colasanti

These are just a few of the ones I thought up. Please feel free to add your own or suggest new names for the ones I've listed here. Let's have some fun with this!

PSU 5th Big 10 team in ESPN top 25 - behind MSU???

Horse N Buggy — Tue, 13 May 2008 20:26:14 -0000

So ESPN has released their updated top 25 now that the spring games are wrapping up. Some familiar faces in the top 5, including USC, Florida, and OSU (sigh). PSU barely makes the cut at #25...behind Michigan State? WTF?

In fact, ESPN rates 4 Big 10 teams ahead of us:

OSU at #1

Illinois at #16

Wisconsin at #18

Michigan State at #24

On the plus side, scUM didn't make the list at all - surprise, surprise.
