PSU will win!!!

That’s a tough match up for PSU. I fear the OU offense might be too potent for us to handle, but I’ve seen them lay eggs in the BCS bowl games before. I’d definitely give the edge to the Sooners, but the homer in me voted for PSU.

But maybe I am just being optimistic.

No one has stopped Bradford all year, even Texas gave up 35 points in the Red River Shootout.

I say 40-21, Oklahoma

Did people, like me, just vote for Penn State simply because it’s more fun this way?

Penn State upsets Oklahoma in a playoff…based on voting on a Big 10 Blog.

You see y’all? ‘Member when the final Coaches Poll was anonymous, or. . . anonymous-like? Yup, thing’s were a little squirly not just too long ago. And so, some BCS homegrowns and . . -ahem, scratch that. And so it came to pass that in order to accepted, any coach voting in the end of year coaches poll, must make public their ballots while USA Today conducts the organization and publication the final results. Transparency. It’s our friend. . . . .It is?

I got here too late to vote, but Wowzers! There’s a mad grip of love for Penn State in this matchup. And here I thought Oklahoma looked like one of the better teams for 2008. I really did. Watched the game they had with Texas, and mother f_c_er! It seemed ALL THOSE ATHLETES on that field were serious ‘ballers" with “WTF?” written on a few of them! I normally flail at handling one of the many “projects” I got to do on my “Rob Lowe Pad” and more often than not, I’m scarfing down sh_t from the local Whole Foods buffet bar to appease the hunger from surfing and bailing the entire morning. So college football, other than the Trojans that are USC or the Crimson Tide of Alabama, that DOESN’T SHOW how poorly the Fighting Rash of Notre Dame is doing at the moment gets IT’S CHANNEL CHANGED! C’mon, at 9 AM on a Saturday morning? High tide hits around 7 or 8 where I’m here in Santa Monica- so. . .like I said- I’d be surfing, bailing, scrounging for car change, eating, or trying to do chores at that time? But the OK / TX game was BANANAS! Locked! Immediately. So, the short of the long of it: I really do think Oklahoma has a legit claim, right now, to be one of- if not The, best in the country right now.

I’m. . . .you guessed it! Hungry all of the sudden. Well, I guess- again. Here’s the what- I’d pick OK over Penn St. (not that I don’t think Penn St. isn’t a respectable opponent. they’ve got strengths where we USC have strengths, and certain skills and abilities that are entirely equal in performance with the very best of the highly ranked teams of this moment), but I just constantly read about and/or heard about how well Sam Bradford and cohorts were performing, and the incredible ground and aerial display the Sooner offense possessed. I was kinda bewitched, as it were.

OK: 49 – Penn St: 30 . Penn State D stays on the field too long. OK running game smokes the edges and gets numerous long gains. Bradford is able to attack post routes and outs, his receivers start catching at full speed and get ATC yardage and scoring touchdowns. Paterno coaches on the sidelines and never stops devising plans and rotating players. Stoops gets a monkey off his back.

And -B!

It’s been a rather scattered Friday for me, thus far. Before I joined “The Rivalry, Esq.” and started headstrong into commenting in this post, I honestly DIDN’T know what “fan friendly” site this was. Seriously, didn’t look to find out- and didn’t think much a deal out it, to be quite honest with you. Well. . . . . there’s that and . . .maybe a few too many caf-fiend-ish hot tasty beverages from Hades! (pumpkin latte’s, fellas! i know. sounds gay i realize THAT, but still . . . they’re sublime. this is true) Add to that it’s Friday and just the other day I decided to go skiing this weekend.

I’m kinda not right in the noggin today. Tonight? I’ll be tranquilo. I’ll have it all sorted and I’ll definitely remember . . . .that THIS is a Big 10 site . . . and . . . and oh, by the way- I noticed the “Esq.” , is that the abbreviated form of, or for, Esquire? If so, are all members free to refer to themselves as Esquires, as well? Or is that a “consolidated union” type of set-up between the managers and authors of this blog? In all honesty, I think having that: (comma), Esq.(period) sh_t after your name? . . .it sounds pretty “f”-ing boss! (it’s quite vexing finding something in that in-between state where, – it’s, “cool as sh_t” and “not realizing how truly ghetto it actually is” these days. i confess, and i admit that i am SO far removed from truly being hip- that even my imaginary alter egos are bored with my social lethargy) So, I formally ask, “May I use (comma)Esq.” after my moniker when and if I would elect to choose to?
