Weekend At Bernies 3, Happy Valley

Eagle1855 · January 4, 2006

Had a great time watching one of the most mind-numbing bowl games of the year. Glad I stayed up for that. Both kickers doing their best Jay Feely and Billy Cundiff impressions. Hard to tell if the defenses were that good or if the offenses were that inept. Then to top it off, there was more yellow fabric on the field than you'd find at a craft store. Reminded me of some of our games.

And I am convinced Jo Pa does nothing during the game anymore. Its like the prop him up and go back to calling the plays. I saw the coordinators calling times out. Same goes for Bowdens gang. Last night it looked more like a show down between the grandfathers of college football's coordinators going at it, rather than the legends themselves. Anyone else notice this?

On the flipside, we should all be so lucky to be doing something we love at the ripe old age of 79! Plus, I took FSU to cover, so I found it to be a profitable game as well!

Absolutley!! I remember a shot of Jo Pa after PSU won the game, and nothing from Joe. He just kind of stands around looking at everyone going crazy like he's not sure what to do next. He then goes to the midfield to mumble something to Bowden like it was past his bedtime. His glass are hysterical. I'm convinced he's legally blind. Was one of the most bizzare post game interviews with Paterno and Bowden I've ever seen.
