That is all.
But it's just too much responsibility, too big of a burden. I'm a rising senior, I'm 21, and I'm too old for this!
The responsibility of waking up for noon kickoffs when you've been out all night before, and all you want is one more hour of sleep, is too much, and you have to pace yourself for the night games, staying till the end of blowouts, and being able to remember who played well and who got embarrassed.
Really? Too big a burden? Where is that coming from?
Lame.
Let no act of ours bring shame....
"What we're doing is making some great strides in eliminating the scalping of student tickets," he said. "What we're most pleased with is the students who were buying tickets and trying to post them on eBay 15 minutes later, that part of the population has been eliminated from the student ticket process."
I agree that it is a good thing that these tickets should be made available to the kids who actually want to go to the games. However, WHY THE FUCK HAVEN"T THE TICKETS SOLD OUT ANYWAY??!?!?!?!?!?I've recently been chatting with my main man, the Juleser, about
expectations/predictions for the 2009 season. Juleser came right out
with the prediction of 12-0 and then the Lions stomp Oklahoma in the
title game. Pie in the sky? Maybe. It is also what I dream of at
night. However, this is merely a prediction. It may be a glorious,
wonderful prediction but a prediction nonetheless. On the other hand,
expectations are the dividing line between success and failure.
My expectations for the 2009 season is: 10-2. I think if the Lions
get 10 wins you can consider the season a success. 10-2 would put the
Lions in contention for the Big Ten Title (though probably missing at
10-2). Anything less than 10-2, however, I would consider an abject
failure. 9-3 or 8-4 puts the lions at around 4th in the Big Ten and
settling for some incredibly shitty bowl game. This would be
terrible. However, anything better than 10-2 would be complete gravy.
11-1 puts the Lions in position to win/share the Big Ten Title. 12-0
means the Lions should win the Big Ten Title out-right and put the
Lions in position for a National title. I'm not predicting the Lions
playing for a title, I'm just saying anything worse than 10-2 is the
worst record which Penn State fans should still consider acceptable.
High expectations are good. High expectations mean the program is
running well and the fan base is demanding a high quality product be
presented on the field in exchange for ever higher ticket prices and
the hundreds of dollars I mindlessly spend on Penn State Paraphernalia
nearly every day! The pressure of great expectations will forge
excellence in the crucible of the off-season.
GO STATE!
