It's not even that they tell you they can't help. They change the subject. You get the bum's rush. That's when you know it's up to you to experiment and figure out how to get by. Sucks. Can't explain it to anybody else, either.

Still a class player. At least the Sixers seem to have a performance floor when he's in the game.

Yeah ... this is kind of insane. I hope the school has good insurance.

This seems sort of ... idiotic? I assume they tell these overmatched opponents before the game that there will be a court storming before they can inbound the ball?

This could be the Penn State team I've been waiting for for over 50 years. Lol! It'll be interesting to see how long it takes the Big Ten opponents to adjust to the first *real* season of VCU-style Havoc. This year's team is much more bought-in and locked-in than last year's.

I noticed that, too. Major oversight.

We're getting the latter. Probably not the former any time soon, unfortunately.

I'm seeing a little of the former and a lot of the latter.

35 years. 30 years ago, Penn State was running roughshod over the Big Ten. It didn't really last, unfortunately.

Unbelievably good defensive team. Every guy is really locked in. A lot of these guys did not have great defensive reputations before they got to Penn State.

Pretty impressive tonight, huh?

Duh ... Lol! Thanks. I should have read it a little closer.

A couple things don't make sense. SMU is favored to beat Clemson. Also, if SMU loses, how are they ahead of Clemson? Also, is Penn State reevaluated by the committee if they lose?

He was great, but a punter shouldn't be player of the week. What about Jalen Carter? That guy was an enormous pain in the ass.

SMU has somewhat of an unfair advantage playing in a very weak conference.

It has nothing to do with Musk for most of us. It's that the platform has turned to dreck. My feed had turned into garbage that no algorithm could think I'm interested in.
