Game Thread: 2016 Rose Bowl Thread #9 USC vs #5 Penn State 5PM EST

[TheRobotDevil]

USC/Penn State avy one year avy bet I have USC you have Penn State. Winner chooses the losers avy for a year.Bet is good to go?

He said he "knows" OSU will lose by 14, so I'm holding him to his word. He threw down the gauntlet before you did. If he wants to be a real man and admit he actually doesn't "know" anything, that's fine. I'll rescind the avy bet. I'm still taking yours, because I know he doesn't stand a chance against me.

Works for me see ya monday and happy new year

 

[The Oldtimer]

For what its worth that was a great game. Those Penn State receivers should get more press, they sure look great as did McSorely.

Great game guys, I am going to remember this one a long time.

Yes me too. I still can't believe that Darnold is so poised for a Redshirt Freshman.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

To be fair, it's not like our defense had shown they could stop the run. The kid had 200 yards rushing.

Yeah but they kept running the same play over and over. Should have been more creative in the run game.

 

[Montalban]

"Skewered", lol! I'm skewered, now!

Now THAT's humorous

It was just so beautifully done and so perfect I think "skewered" says it right.

Because that play kept working over and over. If USC clogged the middle, Barkley bounced outside. Difference was, the last time he bounced it outside, USC finally stopped him.

I see your point and maybe they could have mixed in another type of run. But I can't criticize a guy for going to what had been working all game long when the game was on the line.

I guess better to lose close and be bitterly disappointed rather than getting assraped with no lube and accepting your fate.

meh. loss is loss. not losing to the rival is the best.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Should have lost to the rival.

 

[cwerph]

Dis gunna be gud

 

[cwerph]

Should have lost to the rival.

But, alas, did not.

Life is good.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

But, alas, did not.

Life is good.

Yeah I guess I'd take it if I was in the same boat.

 

[cwerph]

Yeah I guess I'd take it if I was in the same boat.

You would not only take it but be far more difficult to live with.

 

[TheRobotDevil]

Dis gunna be gud

I thought sure shit i was losing and getting avys for the year for a while. Thank Darnold he pulled off a miracle

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I'm a pretty gracious winner tbh.

I rue the day the Vagerines finally break through against the Buckeyes. Major rueage.

If we won in the same manner at home with one sided officiating and against a joke QB on your side. I wouldn't say shit, honest. Maybe for yall to quit whining if someone broke out in a Maize tirade. That's it. I didn't really say shit when they won at MSU this year until an MSU fan started talking shit of course.

Stop whining about your quarterback! He's what you've got. It's the coachs' jobs to put the players you have in position to win.

Stop whining about the refs. Your team turned the ball over 3 times including once on the 1 yard line with a chance to put the game out of reach. They blew a 10 point lead. That wasn't on the refs.

If you say so, monty

Not whining, just pointing out facts.

 

[Churchillin]

Before the bowl season everyone was saying how great the B1G was this year only to see the top 3 teams lose. It's not a slam on anyone on here but mainly on idiotic analysts thinking they know what they are talking about.

Not to get nit-picky but two of those three B1G teams you speak of lost within the margin of home field advantage and were in their opponents home state, so

I don't remember Big 10 fans crying about "home field advantage" prior to just a couple of years or so ago.

Is this some millenial snowflake thing? Or have they always cried about it, but now everyone can see it because of the interwebz?
