We are headed en masse to Ann Arbor City tomorrow for the annual rumpus between the Wolverines and the Nittanies. Based on the Big Ten Network commercial that is on the air constantly and features JoePa imploring recruits less than 1/4 of his age to 'Come to PENN STATE!', he's completely lost his mind. On that information alone, I like our chances tomorrow.
Let's revisit my predictions from earlier this fall.
Game Prediction Actual
Western W, 31-17 W, 31-7
Notre Dame W, 31-24 W, 38-34
Eastern W, 35-10 W, 45-17
Indiana W, 37-14 W, 36-33
MSU L, 24-27 L, 20-26
Iowa L, 21-31 L, 28-30
Delaware St.W, 35-13 W, 63-6
As you can see, 100% so far, with the only glaring error being my miscalculation of the level of Delaware State's suckitude. I want to take this opportunity to revise my next prediction. Back in September, I thought Penn State would win this game, 27-14. Now, however, after not being blown away by their level of play, and pleasantly surprised by ours, I envision a closer duel on Saturday. An updated prediction - Michigan wins a wet one on the strength of their running attack, 24-20.
Can't wait to see a bunch of friends (Rodney, Kellyn da don, Evanakahustla, Nabeel, Dom, JonTBuck, Paul, the list goes on), and relish another fall day in Ann Arbor with them.
Alan Branch crushing fools in Happy Valley circa 2006. We were sitting top row, next to the gods, watching two college football heavyweights throw down for a couple hours on a crisp October night. The atmosphere at Beaver Stadium is unparalleled as well. The stands literally quake as the whited-out crowd bounces up and down. Luckily, we were able to hijack their 'We are Penn State' cheer and improve it to 'We OWN Penn State'.
Two things he and the Penn State football coach have in common?
Outfit.
Diapers.
