The Real Linebacker U

[Nigel Tufnel]

So they reposted that same article from 2014? Not that anyone disagrees, but it seems a bit silly.

Budget cuts are a bitch.

You can up that total to 10 come Thursday...

I wouldn't mind seeing us become "Quarterback U".

 

[RugbyBuck]

I think Perry could have a solid career, as well. Possibly longer though not as spectacular as Lee's will be.

The discussion has popped up over on 11W.

Interestingly 1995 & 2001 are the only years that neither school had a player voted All-Big Ten by the coaches or media.

someone who wants to have some fun should go post this stuff on BWI

They are always down for some good level headed conversation on the topic

Make sure you take a screenshot of it if you do, because it won't last long...

It wouldn't matter what was posted. They have excuses for everything. (What fan base doesn't). They'll say this fits right in with what they've been preaching for years...that the conference favors Ohio State and promotes them at the disadvantage of PSU. Oh, and we are a football factory while they are a factory of quality human beings. That image is fax and evidents of their ideology. You. Cannot. Win. With. Fools.

And another one this time next year too.

No threads on BWI at the moment about Linebacker U. If they were put up, they've been deleted. But I did find another where people get to whine about not being liked in Columbus, and it included a mini argument with a Michigan fan about whose stadium is worse: Michigan's or Penn State's. Not interesting enough to link, though. If you care, the only other highlight was that none of their fans had a good time in Columbus for a game.

As I say to my kids when things aren't going their way: "What does 'B-O-O H-O-O' spell?"

Fick has been LB coach since...2004?
So 75% of the time he has an All B10 LB? Fire this bum.

"What does 'B-O-O H-O-O' spell?"

it almost spells Boob, which is always a good answer
