If the situation were reversed this board would be up in arms. Finished 8th in the conference with a 7-5 record, (losing 5 of the last 7 games)………. and playing on New Year’s Day. 😳

Would be nice to beat an SEC team. Always had a soft spot for the Razorbacks. Anyone who has a hog on there helmets is ok by me.

Haha! Love it! The fact that a New Year's Day bowl wants 5-loss Penn State is a statement about the national appeal of our program.

We've been given a chance to end this God-forsaken year on a very positive note. Hopefully we don't blow it.

Pretty sure we're going to blow it.

While your negative attitude suits you please tell me one player on the ark team and what their offensive and defensive philosophy are so we can know they will blow it.

 

[Bessmoney]

Better bowl than Pitt. So there's that.

 

[The Spin Meister]

Kickoff 12:30 Eastern so I don’t hafta stay up late. Will interrupt my afternoon nap, though.

Boo! Wanted Vegas

Been afraid of razorbacks ever since Old Yeller!🐷🐖

We’ve proven time after time it doesn’t matter who the other team is, it’s us, not them. We have been our own worst enemy and beaten ourselves in almost every way imaginable, game after game, year after year with this year being the height of ineptitude.

We have meet the enemy and the enemy is us!

I believe in the positives thoughts theory

I predict PSU will put up a good fight and take a lead into the 4th quarter before giving up a late TD to Arkansas and losing by 3 pts.

Apparently you haven't had enough positive thoughts the past couple of years.

What about your bowel-movement schedule??

I’m POSITIVE PSU beats themselves more often than they are beaten by their opponents…..way more often.

 

[TheGLOV]

I’m POSITIVE PSU beats themselves more often than they are beaten by their opponents…..way more often.

Would love to hear the SEC fans explode or implode if we beat 2-SEC teams in the same year!

Hope we wear our 'white-shoes'!

Jefferson is the QB. Power run. 3-3-5. And no I didn't look it up.

I will text you when it’s time to change my diaper!🙈

Yes, but I hate when the other team starts the SEC chant at the end of the game.

Well that DEPENDS on if I am available to change it for you!

 

[bdgan]

I’m POSITIVE PSU beats themselves more often than they are beaten by their opponents…..way more often.

Like when we were beating the #2 team in the country until 2 DBs ran into each other? Or when we dropped a sure INT that would have sealed a win? Or like how we lost 2-3 games because we didn't have a backup QB ready to play? Are you talking about those kind of things?

It appears that Penn State has never played Arkansas...hard to believe.

That is actually hard to believe. I know PSU had a few battles with the old Southwest Conference.

What years did Old Yeller play? He was a running back right?

 

[RaymondReddington]

Same here. Something different. Florida is getting tiresome.

Vegas would have been nice but Florida ok too.

Pitt? Terd bowl with their 125 fans.

 

[The Spin Meister]

Nope, dog linebacker!

 

[step.eng69]

Nope, dog linebacker!

That’s where the terms…yellow dog, red dog, big dog, all dog etc. are the proper terms that mean the LB’s are charging the line of scrimmage. The term blitz refers to corners and safeties are charging the line.

 

[Obliviax]

Plus expensive. I could have caught the game in a world class stadium and flown home on the 31st. Now you have to stay over the holiday

I thought all the know-it-all, loudmouth whiners on here told us that was an impossibility and that Iowa's and Wisconsin's attractiveness, popularity, and fanbases would preclude this. The loudest-mouth, consistently-wrong, b1g-hugging blowhards on here have been wrong yet again relative to how PSU's attractiveness stacks up nationally relative to other b1g teams (i.e., we all know why the Outback Bowl selected PSU - because they could and they're entitled to invite whoever they damn well please..... IOW, PSU's attractiveness on a national level more like duhO$U's or MeatChicken's than it is like the big's traditional "Little Eoght"). But I'm sure they'll keep filling us in on how wrong we are.... out-shouting everyone with their bullshit.

 

[RCS-PSU70]

And Arizona State would probably be an easier opponent. They also had a disappointing year.

You left out how PSU didn't kick 3 chip shot field goals instead going for it on 4th down and failing all 3 times.

Please, please punt on 4th down when at mid-field and do take the points when they are there to be taken.

 

[katchthis]

We need longer acting Imodium . It wears off at the start of the fourth quarter.

 

[joeaubie21]

The Outback knows whose fans travel and spend. Not 125 trash collecting moochers from Pitt who have to save for years to drive to Pymatuning to watch the ducks walk on fishes backs. Then it's a $1.99 dinner of ham-cab-pot and the ride home.
