Missing a Good Dump

Wherefore art thou Post Game Dump? I understand it's some work; I can find the info myself. Just know that it's missed by a loyal reader.

Now here's something important we should be debating (which could not really be settled on the field): how many toes should the have?

Who's Watchin Where in DC Sat?

jtothep — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 17:37:21 -0000

Sup, foolios! Awful quiet around BSD today. A collective holding of our breaths, maybe, for a teeter-totter test of our season and our team's truthful strength? Well, let's see what we can do to blow the roof off that sentiment....

What say we change our tone a bit, and talk about how our Lions are gonna roll up into chump rundell and quiet all those band-molesters into a brat n cheese n beer slumber? It sounds like the O-line feels a bit embarrassed about the missed 3rd down conversions last week and has been practicing with extra intensity this week. I'm lookin out for some Wizpancakes on a pull-out round right end. Extra psyched if Deandre Levy is the recipient! I'm seeing some long and powerful drives, interspersed with a few quick-strikes as well. Sumpin like 24-3 at the half. Sound good?

But here's my question: where are you DC locals watchin the game Sat night? My bro and my PSU peeps are out for a wedding, and my small krew is still taking shape: I've got one friend on board, who is a Marshall/WVU fan and I'm hopin to get my Gator buddy along, too. But I'm keen to watch it among some PSU brethren, and am trying to decide between Carpool and Rhino. I'll totally roll to whichever spot I'm more likely to find and meet some of you fine BSD folk. Give a shout, if you're up for a beer and a high five. Holla!

Sup BSD manager and editors! I was just over at BWI reading JoePa's presser, my single favorite piece of Penn State media coverage. I was intellectually crafting a different fanshot called What I've Learned from JoePa's Press Conference, or something like it. And I remembered that each week, I'm always terribly curious who is asking the questions. The posting of the Pollspeak sitelink gave me heart that we the community (the Fans--can you believe that!) continue to take back more and more power in coverage of (and sometimes in effectuating the influence of) our favorite sport. So, and I respect that this may be a tall order of request, but I've read where BSD has been asked for interviews in other blogistan outlets, so maybe not, but....have you all any connections that can build for us a breakdown of which media member asks which questions? I usually prefer, because of work network use reasons, the text pressers, but would tune into the vids if there's a blogistani journalist who is also youtubing the press corp and not only panning in on Joe.

Anyway, I figure since so many of my dreams come true at BSD, that I'd just throw this additional one up on the wishlist. Thanks for any info anyone can provide.

Hi all! My brother and I are headed to the Dome this fall for the 9/13/08 matchup vs the Orangemen. I had been looking at going to out Camp Randall for the Wiscy game, but scheduling has me going here instead. Anyway, I'm hoping to try this method out for having a onestop shop, inside BSD, for PSU travelers to come for away-game-related info (if this one works, I'll be glad to create the starter for the Purdue, Wiscy, OSU & Iowa games).

So, it turns out I was just up in the Cuse for the first time a few weeks ago for a wedding. It's a pretty bleak town, the Cuse--very industrial and spread out. The 'downtown' has a really localized bar area in a tight few blocks, not that big and not totally easy to find, called Albany Square. It seems like it could be pretty cool on a gameday, tho. That's about all I'll put out there from my experience, but I found this great Cuse Visitor Guide, curiously enough from a dude calling himself TexanMark, that's been pretty helpful: http://texanmarktailgate.blogspot.com/2007/05/syracuse-tailgate-and-visitors-guide.html Oh, can also add that the Dinosaur Bbq is indeed All That: great frickin food, and a nicely divey, biker type decor, and a very, very mixed crowd.

Anybody else heading up? Would love to see comments posted that give advice or tips regarding any aspect of traveling as a PSU visitor to an away game, such as food, drink, tailgating, transportation & accommodation. Hope to see some of you up there in the fall! --jp

Saturday Viewing Preference

NBC recently renewed its television contract with notre dame 'football', and its rotund and equally righteous leader, Charlie Weiss. It was rhetorically asked in some BSD reader comments 'what else are they gonna show, cockfighting?', which got me thinking....That's not a bad idea. I sure would prefer that over yet another holier-than-thou piece on touchdown jesus. They could even put little jerseys on the roosters so you'd have more at stake in knowing which one to root for. What do you all think?

Which would you more likely tune into on a Saturday afternoon: a cock fight or a notre dame 'football' game?

Cockfighting seems so compelling; it's too bad it's not on TV
