The Adventures of TMLSB
I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock n' roll

I was taking a nap and...
I woke up to a wreck in the truck race, so I flipped to find a little football. What I found was definately NOT football.

ESPN was carrying the Iowa vs. Penn State game and with ten minutes to go in the third quarter, the score was 6-2. That's right. 6-2. Two division one Big Ten teams combining to score eight measly points.

So we decide to watch for a few minutes (young Reece and myself), and we see Iowa from deep in their own territory throw incomplete, nearly get a safety, then complete a pass and have the receiver, despite being WIDE ASS OPEN, fall down two yards short of the first down.

Then, Penn State blocks the punt and gets the ball on Iowa's eight yard line. Certain points...right?

No. Penn State ran a very slow QB draw for a loss of two, then an incomplete pass into the end zone, followed by another incomplete pass. On comes the field goal team. Nope. Wide right.

Two schools who've played 200 years of football between them and probably 2500 games and they look like two elementary school teams scrimmaging. And bad elementary school teams to boot.

Someone ought to give Jo Paterno a ride to the senior center and just not come back to pick him up. That team sucks ass.

And Iowa might as well be playing in a Helen Keller league for as bad as they look.

I apologize for the rant. Please return to your porn browsing...

p.s. After giving up a safety ON PURPOSE, Iowa ended up winning this game 6-4. Six to freaking four!!! The game featured seven actual turnovers and five by Penn State. That didn't include any fumbles that the two teams got back.

If anyone wants to tell me how great the Big Ten is, I'm all ears...
