Bills fans finding how good Maybin really is
Buffalo fans are finally seeing what we enjoyed lasted year from Aaron Maybin. I've been really busy last week, so I didn't get to see my Steelers play the Bills, but apparently Maybin showed the same speed, athleticism and heart that made him great last year

Game of the past you'd most like to attend [Poll UPDATE!]
Got this idea from behindthesteelcurtain, but I thought it would be an interesting topic considering PSU's rich football history.
If you could attend only 1 Penn State football game from any year, which one would you choose?
I could already think of some common answers, but let's see what we could come up with. Pick a game and give a brief summary of why you chose that one (for some of the younger guys, we don't remember everything surrounding some of the bigger games in PSU's past, so this could also serve as a PSU history lesson). If we get a couple good answers, I'll throw up a poll, because we know that no BSD FanPost is complete without one
UPDATE! UPDATE! Poll added based on people's comments:

Charlie Weis Never Had A Losing Season
[Bumped for truly awe-inspiring public relations out of South Bend. Looks like Baghdad Bob found a career after Saddam was overthrown. "South Bend Sammy", maybe? -- RUTS]
According to the 2009 Notre Dame "Spring Prospectus", Weis never took part in a losing season:
"Notre Dame omitted the losing seasons from Weis’ year-by-year biography on page 15 of the 2009 Spring Prospectus and page 90 of the 2008 football media guide. Among the omissions is the Irish’s 3-9 2007 season."
This includes records in the NFL:
"Other records that are missing include the New England Patriots’ 5-11 season in 2000, the 6-10 year the Patriots had in 1995, the 5-11 year in 1993, a 6-10 campaign with the New York Giants in 1992 and two losing seasons at South Carolina: 5-6 in 1985 and 3-6-2 in 1986."
But they gladly give credit for any winning season:
"However, any .500 or better season Weis helped out in, from the 8-4 Gator Bowl season at South Carolina in 1987 to the 10-2 Sugar Bowl year at Notre Dame in 2006, was included."
So more or less, he's never had a losing season, he only takes guys with character, and he's still the best coach in both college and professional football.
[Well, yeah. Obviously. Just ask him. - RUTS]

Best colleges that produce NFL talent
No, PSU isn't listed anywhere near the top, in fact, from my quick skim I noticed we weren't listed at all
