So, when you guys watch football, do you have to put the LSU games in slow motion just to follow the incredible, blazing fast action on the offensive side of the ball?

Or...

Do you have to watch Big Televen games in fast forward so that it actually resembles the amazing speed that you are accustomed to?

Actually, I think SEC games are recorded with 120 frame per second cameras...then the studios slow the game down by broadcasting the signal at 60 FPS, allowing SEC fans to watch the games w/o having to remember a complex formula like that which you just suggested.

Do Big 10 fans even consider what they play to be football?

We SEC fans don't even bother watching your "games".

You Penn State fans might be on to something. I mean, I run on a treadmill when I watch the games (time management). Sometimes, when I flip it on a Penn State game, I feel like my legs are moving faster than your players. Well, atleast that's how I felt when I watched your Big 10 brothers from Ohio on the same field as Florida and then LSU.

On a side note. I keep hearing the whole LSU struggled with washington thing but... LSU>WASHINGTON>USC>OSU>PSU. Connect the dots.

Then how do you know that the Big Televen is slow?

Well, in the rare case we are forced to watch (UF vs. Ohio State, LSU vs. Ohio State, USC vs. Penn State) it becomes painfully obvious that whatever it is you guys are playing in the Big 10 can't readily be called football by anyone else.

Great scouting report.

This is awesome

Pretty embarassing the SEC's .500 in bowls the past 5 years with the Big 10.

Northwestern's playing on New Year's Day.

FWIW.



Penn State and Northwestern will go 0-2 in their bowl games.

I don't see how Penn State beats LSU and I have confidence in my boys to take care of business.

Considering the matchups typically consists of Big 10 2 or 3 vs. SEC 5 or 6... not really...

Why do you think LSU will even score?

You're down to your waterboy at running back. Your line can't protect your QB against anybody. Your coach can't read a digital clock and your QB admits he holds onto the ball too long because he's afraid of throwing picks. Plus, you're going up against one of the best defenses in the country.

All Penn State has to worry about is to punt the ball out of bounds when they don't score. Without a special teams fiasco, this won't be close.

Our waterboy running back is still better than your regular starter.

Kind of embarrassing really.

If Penn State's average 40 time for their defensive starters is around 5.6, how in the hell will they catch Trindon?? Damn, this game could get ugly!
