How Embarrassing!

I said, “Take the under!”

Penn State 56, Nebraska 44

I was off by about 44 points there, as a combined total of 100 points were scored in a ridiculous game at St. Joe Memorial Stadium on Senior Day. A couple of dumbass special teams errors erased the brilliant, 65-yard touchdown run by Saquon Barkley on the opening drive. The Nittany Lions went on to win the first half, taking a 42-10 lead into the locker room.

Meanwhile, the #10 Nittany Lions (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) need to win out to ensure that they play on New Year’s Day instead of one of several Toilet Bowls. (The Nittany Turkey Shitty Bowl Name winner for the 2017-18 bowl season is the Bad Boy Mowers Gasparilla Bowl in St. Petersburg, which beats out the former title holder Foster Farms (aka Tainted Chicken) Bowl in Santa Clara by a slim margin).

Nebraska is coming off a sound thrashing by Minnesota (5-5, 2-5), 54-21, while PSU put the clamps on Rutgers (4-6, 3-4) in a 35-6 Homecoming win at St. Joe. [Read more…]
