Now I love laughing at Pryor as much as anyone else.  But I was thinking earlier, as I was reading Dr. Saturday's take on Tresselball, about why we actually hate/laugh at him.

Reason 1:  He went to O$U.  Obviously not a problem if he chose us instead.

Reason 2:   His arm punts are fun to laugh at, and his struggle to succeed in Tressel's scheme makes us glad we don't have him.  But what if he came here?  Based on our use of both MRob and Clark, it's not out of the question to assume that we might be able to use him/develop him better.

Reason 3:  He says stupid things.  Real stupid things.  But there's no way he comes out with anything written under his eyes if he plays for JoePa, and he doesn't speak with the media so much either, so maybe by the time he was an upperclassman and had time in the spotlight, he'd have matured slightly and wouldn't sound so...well, retarded.

But that's enough for now.  I'm going to go look at the Failsman and laugh.

As far as I can tell, none of us really care about the Heisman (the obvious exception of course).  And that might be because of the fact the Penn State isn't really the type of program that generates a lot of Heisman buzz.  Maybe if we were USC, or Miami (of old) or whoever, as a fanbase we'd care a lot more.

But when even TWWL themselves say that it's a popularity contest, how can anyone take it seriously anymore?  Barring any sort of crazy unforeseen circumstance, it will be Tebow.  And if not him, then one of the Big12 qbs.  And EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THIS.  There's no suspense, and the season hasn't even started yet.  I just don't understand why it's considered a great award anymore.

If I could pick one game to go to this season, it would be this one.  I was at Michigan State in 2005 when we won, and remember thinking about how I wish it was in State College, so we could really celebrate.  Now it is, and to add to that is the fact that it's Senior Day.  More than anything else, even more than being there for the celebration (assuming we win of course), I want to be there to see the seniors run out, and to hear the crowd when they announce their names.  It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, I am 9 hours from State College and won't be able to make it.  If there is ANYONE who could take a video of it, or if anyone knows of anywhere to get a video of it after the game, I would remain indebted to you for a long time.

We Are!!!
