Penn State isn't our rival. Penn State isn't our rival. Penn State isn't our rival!
Yes, we're blacking them out. Yes, they've been much more successful than Michigan in being a thorn in our side over the past decade or so (though not much more). Yes, it's a night game in Ohio Stadium under the lights. Yes, I would take perverse pleasure in beating the Nittany Lions at their own game by creating such a hostile atmosphere that both beast and man will avoid the seething cauldron that is Columbus, Ohio in favor of more hospitable environs.
They're still not our rivals. I refuse to allow this game to be anything but a high-octane celebration of cool uniforms, black shirts, and the tacit acknowledgement that this is likely the most exciting football-related thing that will happen in Columbus all season. Thank goodness for Ben Jones from StateCollege.com to help us make sense of all of this, and to give us the inside scoop on whether we should be in any way worried about this game.
Also helping us is our good friend Matt Finkes, with Finkes on Football! Let's figure out how the hell this two-QB system is actually working.
And we answer actual listener questions in our Ask Us Anything segment, which as always, is an utter delight. Don't forget that you can ask us anything via Twitter or by emailing us.
0:00- Maryland happened. It was good-ish? I mean, the offense was at least, which was pretty cool and good. Also we get into the OBC and Sark drama.
16:11- Ask Us Anything, which we make very firm yet fair judgements on discontinued cereals, let you in on some super cool advanced football sites, and generally help out humanity in any way we can.
26:34- Finkes on Football: Matt tries and fails to make sense out of the offense, and we all come to the conclusion that the longer you stare into the abyss, the more the abyss stares back at you.
40:31- Kudos to Ben Jones for not taking the bait when I made fun of Penn State right off the bat. The man is a professional.
54:50- This weekend is going to be off the chain, as per usual. Let's do this!
Dubcast complete! We will see you guys next week, or, more hopefully, this weekend at the Black Saturday Banger that we're hosting before the game! Come on out and meet your favorite 11W writers, since we are all horrible narcissists that simply can't get enough public adoration for writing on a blog. See you there!
