I've written a few novels in my time as well as a couple of things as "WeArePennState" over at Black Shoe Diaries. <br /><br />Anyway, I'll keep coming, and when I see something that ignites a fire within, I'll add my commentary, anonymously, of course.<br /><br />Someone else claiming the title of Linebacker U just frosted my...... well you get the idea.Bart Simpsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-74602532559765595552010-07-30T21:45:26.953-04:002010-07-30T21:45:26.953-04:00Hey Bart, we didn't mean it that way.

We are very happy that you made your first comment here.<br /><br />Google owns Blogger, which is the platform on which we run this blog. Their commenting system is a bit annoying (you are correct). If we were to completely remove the "anonymous" option from the commenting form, the "Name/URL" option would also be removed with it. Google/Blogger doesn't allow "Name/URL" without also having anonymous comments, too. And if we did get rid of both, that would mean everyone who wanted to make a comment would be required to register with one of those services listed (AIM, OpenID, Google, etc.) which is unfair to those who don't want to register. We may end up changing the options back to require registration of some sort like the ones below, but it would be pretty annoying to readers. <br /><br />This sucks very much, and we hope Google/Blogger changes their ways on that.<br /><br />Please accept our apology.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368517095433516902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-82250402563104084402010-07-30T21:13:44.082-04:002010-07-30T21:13:44.082-04:00Sorry for that first "anonymous".

If you don't want any anonymous comments, then don't have that as a selection where it says "comment as". My commentaries are always, (at least I think so) truthful, interesting and not derogatory, and if I can't comment anonymously, then I won't comment at all.Bart Simpsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-21547003953681246302010-07-30T21:13:08.556-04:002010-07-30T21:13:08.556-04:00Kronk is the Herman Fartzenpants.

I seem to recall Brent babyface Musberger couldn't shut up about how great these three guys were. It was getting annoying. The halftime stats literally shut him up.

What he--like most other six-figure mainstream media types--does here is editorialize on a story that he himself was responsible for creating. It wasn't the fans, or the teams, or anyone else. The mainstream media picked up on the "Big Ten sucks" storyline, realized it was great TV and intertainment (like that? combo of internet & entertainment) and ran with it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368517095433516902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-72806705284814112072010-07-30T12:10:46.397-04:002010-07-30T12:10:46.397-04:00Dodd has a way of getting under seemingly anyone&#...Dodd has a way of getting under seemingly anyone's skin. Did you also notice this line from his column? <br /><br />"Somewhere along the line, though, Ohio State got this bad rap. It started with a newspaper story four years ago proclaiming the recruiting death of the Big Ten. The idea germinated and flowered when the Buckeyes became postseason pushovers."<br /><br />SOMEWHERE? You mean, like right from YOUR OWN FINGERTIPS, Dennis? I can't even fathom how numb one must be to fall into such deep denial, that everything Dodd has written from the last four years about how bad the Big Ten sucks could just magically disappear from his memory. <br /><br />This is the reason why so many fans read blogs.

That name means more to most PSU fans than people will ever understand. I don't care if we don't have a LB drafted for the next 20 years (which will not happen), we'll always be Linebacker U. No team will ever be as focused on the position of LB as we are. Every year, we can always count on having a stellar linebacking corps. Even last year, some of us were complaining before the season about Hull not being as good as some of the talent we have. He is most likely going to have a great pro career. How many teams can say that their walk-ons are NFL caliber at the LB position? None. Point proven. Linebacker U is Penn State.
