Penn State sucks because they single-handedly destroyed the Big Ten. I’m serious. They caused the Big Ten to have 11 teams when they joined following the 1992 season. That’s just a disgrace. The Big Ten has some of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world (not including Iowa), and all of a sudden it looks like the people who named the conference can’t count!
Not only that, they screwed up the Big Ten geographically as well as numerically. One of the most fun parts of being a Big Ten fan is traveling to road games. Well, that’s impossible…since Penn State isn’t even in the freaking Midwest. Who wants to go to “Happy Valley” anyways?? And for that matter, why the hell is it called Happy Valley? Is that supposed to be ironic? There’s nothing there!
The Nittany Lions might have a good record this year, but have you seen who they’ve played?! Akron, Temple, and Eastern Illinois aren’t exactly the who’s who of college football. I would make fun of the fact they also played Syracuse, but umm….yeah.
Their coach is a walking corpse. I love this article. It basically sums up an interview Coach Paterno gave…in 1973. This goes to show he clearly can’t give one…you know, now. At least he’s on the sidelines this year and not looking on from the press box. I also liked the article in Sports Illustrated this past week pretending that Paterno still runs the team.
Besides that, Penn State is really freaking good.
