Lol, nothing to be sorry about. We have weaknesses that you guys are in a decent position to exploit. I have no issue with that.
FWIW, when I said "toss up", I didn't mean that I expect it to be a close nail-biter. Just that I think either team could win it, and I really think it could even be a blowout for one team or the other. There's really no telling, in my opinion, how this game is going to turn out.

Jeff you should have come up for the game
Honestly didn't even give it a thought. Never do, for some reason.

while not a hardcore news source , I think its very valid
In 1995, when Spanier was under consideration for the president’s spot at Penn State, the student body president at the University of Nebraska, where Spanier was formerly employed as president, told the Penn State college newspaper: “He very much focuses on affirmative action and a pro-homosexual agenda. Watch out for his social agenda and make sure he doesn’t make it a priority over academicsGRAHAM SPANIER, who was forced to resign as Penn State president last week in response to the Jerry Sandusky scandal, wrote an article in 1975 for the Archives of Sexual Behavior on wife-swapping. The academic article opens with this:
This article attempts to illuminate the understanding of swinging, or mate swapping, an increasingly common form of extramarital sexual activity. A theoretical formulation argues that swinging is a form of extramarital sexual activity which serves to define as good and acceptable a behavior that in other forms and in the past has been considered deviant or immoral.
Spanier, who earned his Ph.D. in sociology from Northwestern University and studied wife-swapping for his dissertation, has been the object of criticism by conservative activists for years. He remains a tenured professor at Penn State after resigning his administrative position, which gave him an annual income of more than half a million dollars. It is no surprise in light of his history that when charges were filed against an athletic director and vice president who failed to report the child rapes to the police, he expressed support for his employees and no concern for the victims.
In 1995, when Spanier was under consideration for the president’s spot at Penn State, the student body president at the University of Nebraska, where Spanier was formerly employed as president, told the Penn State college newspaper: “He very much focuses on affirmative action and a pro-homosexual agenda. Watch out for his social agenda and make sure he doesn’t make it a priority over academics.”
Here are the few of the events that took place under Spanier, as reported by the American Family Association of Pennsylvania:

Penn State at Nebraska, game 2 in the new conference rivalry
http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/conver...meId=323150158
Nebraska has the edge but they still have to play the game..so we shall see
Nebraska is a 9 point favorite
20-6
near half time
oh darnit
The fumble at the goalline was killer. I think that the video wasn't clear enough to figure out what really happened. Whatever was called at the time wasn't going to get overturned. It sucks that a good game will instead be remembered for a controversial call.
EDIT - This series is known for controversial calls, though.
From 30 years ago:
OMAHA -- The Penn State tight end who made a controversial catch setting up the winning touchdown in a 1982 game against Nebraska says he was out of bounds.
Penn State went on to win the national title. Nebraska finished the season 12-1. - LINK

the play was too spontaneous, nothing wrong with the call. Penn State blew multiple red zone opportunies all game.
But they have proven they arent going to fade away any time soon and this coaching staff can motivate anyone and anything to be a winner.
Its as if McGloin went to coucelling and found his inner QB LOL.
who knows, he might get some NFL money riding someones bench for a couple years just because of this ?
Good night Silas Redd, where ever you are ?
Meh, I don't think it will be remembered by that call. We had our chances and it shouldn't have come to that call.
I agree, don't like the call but we fumbled the ball while driving, we threw a pick that gave up points, it just wasn't that play though it does hurt a little.
8-4,..a great season all things considered...and they won their bowl game on Saturday
with white running backs no lessshame on you Silas for leaving.
The bad seeds are gone, I dont think they will be doomed to failure for the next 4 years or what ever the media wants to project. I dont think the school will turn into a Purdue or Minnesota or what ever ?
Agreed on the great season part. It's good to see the Lions didn't collapse to 3-9 or whatever it was that someone predicted in this thread.8-4,..a great season all things considered...and they won their bowl game on Saturday

As for Redd, he left to join a team that went 7-5. Dumbass.

and McGloin was the best passer in the conference too !

The team played very well, with the leadership they had I'd expected 7-5 but 8-4 was really good and really bad in a sense too. Knowing they dropped the first 2 games where they probably should have won really shows the character of the team.
