PSU, OSU reeling from 178th scandal in ten years

Here's an excerpt from a carefully worded letter that no doubt has any number of rich frat guys quaking:
As Associate to the President for Administration, I help Dr. Spanier address the important issues that are brought to his attention. Thank you for sharing your concerns about the behavior of some of our fans. Media accounts following the game indicated that fans were spirited, but overall exhibited better behavior, so I am disappointed to see the youtube video.
Our Office of Police Services is investigating it in an attempt to identify those involved.
Brad69 tells BP, "I must concur with Mr Clarett. I was one of the Ohio State 3 pelted with Natural Light. After the attack I took off down I-80 faster than Troy Smith through the Longhorns D-Line."
Here's To You Mr Robinson

This is for our buddy from pittblather
I am sorry, I don't want to fight. I really like that you visit our board and we try to be as constructive as possible. Feel free to visit as much as possible.
Syracuse Graduation Song for Tim Benz
This is really freaking sad. Boner Boy is going to throw up on Saturday morning if he hears anyone sing this song.
2-6 Orange Ready to Make a Move
Incredible.
This is the lift the Blue Panthers needed to get back on track.
"I really look forward to this month and I don't mean that I’m looking past Pitt at all," said head coach Greg Robinson. "It's the BIG EAST and this is the exciting time of the year when you have to make your move. To me it's exciting. It's really what you're looking for and I'd like our football to show that there is still a lot of development left in them and that they are ready to make a move."
Your Life Is Waiting
Dozens of fans have demanded to know why we would throw away
an amazing blog that gets thousands of hits a day.
The answer is easy-
we're fucking depressed.
That one hurt.
Big time.
Yeah, other blogs can bounce back. Post all sorts of things.
But we got sucked in and actually thought for a fleeting moment
that the curse had been lifted;
that the dull gray fog of incompetence had been dispelled.
Bottomline-- we're the dumb ones.
The fools who just don't get it.
Once again, the joke is on us.
It's no secret Boner wears his heart on his sleeve.
And Hangman is just weak.
You might says-- "Whatever you jagoffs, you're not funny and your blog sucks anyway"
You're right.
We do suck.
But did you see McCoy crying?
You're not a true fan if that didn't get to you.
This one is for you Shady.
Coincidence?

Message to Boner, Ape: Where we have been, Where we are going
With less than 24 hours to go, BP has been deluged with emails
asking for inspiration and guidance.
As always:
Breaking News: Furious Pitt Fans Cancel Trip
Angry about the surprise win over the Bearcats, a group of disgruntled Pitt 'fans' abruptly cancelled their bus trip to L-ville this week.
The group, headed by 3 ex-Golden Panthers, made the call to abort after realizing they have nothing in common if the team isn't losing.
Not wanting to risk awkward small talk across the Ohio turnpike, Fox Chapel Mike commented, "It's simply too long a trip to take a chance on. Frankly, none of us care that much about each other's families and golf talk only gets you to Wheeling. After that, you're looking at a death march. Damn that Wannstedt."
The rest of the group included both front runners and a number 'subway' alumni desperate to fit in.
Craigslist mid-west manager Gus Ruski says the batch of 26 tickets will truly test the auction site's capabilities, "Tough one for sure. The internet sure as hell wasn't designed for this shit. My life's work reduced to a joke in one fell swoop. I should have stayed in school and married Carla. Not to mention Card fans are calling for boycott. What a joke."
Warning: BP found out the hard way, if asked to a barbecue in Louisville, politely decline
Not sure who Carl is, or why he punches like a donkey, but this town is sick.
"When you give someone a hot carl, and while they are watching you, eat your own feces. When they puke, their vomit will mix with the shit on their face, looking like a sloppy Kentucky barbecue.
Denise said she wanted to get down and dirty, so i donkey punched that hoe and gave her the ol Louisville Barbecue Party"

BP World Exclusive: Walt Inches Closer To Comeback, Boner
Incredible Breaking News Tonight.
This picture was snapped by a member of the BP army.
'Wide Receive U' Walter 'Not My Fault' Harris spotted out and about.
Sexy Pittsburgh girlfriend in tow.
(Sweet too, taking a page from her beau's playbook- she refused to face the field when the defense was playing)
The word is-- the couple accidently wandered into the Brashear/Allderdice game while looking to avoid Pitt fans.
Interesting, this was the first time Walter had ever been to a local high school game.
The awestruck coach told those in crowd, "This is amazing. If I had known there were local players & local high schools this close to Pitt, hell we could have talked to their coaches. Recruited their players, even gotten them to play for us. Why didn't anyone say anything?"
By the third quarter, witnesses say Walter was desperate, mumbling about west coast offenses, a lack of focus, and the ability to execute.
Even worse, a source tells BP that during the final play of the game-- Walt provoked the Cupples Stadium crowd by removing his Tampa Bay Bucs hat, flapping his arms, and screaming for the quarterback to slide like a South Side biaatch into the hard pan.
Postscript: Walter Harris is now on the short list of Pitt AD candidates. BP wishes him the best of luck.

New Cart for Wanny if he Beats L'Ville
Soiled Pants on the South Side
It's just not Joe Paterno soiling his pants, apparently so are the Pitt players. Boner Boy has learned through his sources that many of the Pitt players got food poisoning this week at the South Side Complex. Yep that's right, the Rooney's are serving up a big meat pie. This news was just learned this morning and we are unsure if this will have anything to do with the outcome of Saturday's game. Buddy Morris made the guys were diapers yesterday during conditioning and he also handed out packages of imodium AD so no player would drop a bomb in the weight room.

Blogging From Lu-Ville
If you know Hangman- you know the first thing he does when arriving in a new city
is to check out the goth dating scene.
Well, wouldn't you know it-- this is front page, breaking news
in Louisville's Herald-Leader.
Louisville couple to compete on new season of ‘Amazing Race’
A Louisville couple will compete on the 12th season of The Amazing Race. CBS’s hit reality competition show will pit Kynt Cothron, 31, and Vyxsin Fiala, 29, against 10 other teams as they race around the world.
CBS describes Cothron and Fiala as “dating Goths” who work as servers and hair salon receptionists with an “‘us against the world’ mentality.”
--
There you have it.
Dating Goth receptionists who are against world.
Damn them
Damn these Cardinals.
Damn this godless town.

Pitt's Newest Fan
on two fronts: 1) Pitt snapped a 4 game
losing streak and more importantly
2) Pitt gained a new fan.
His name is Ronald and he resides in
the North Side of Pittsburgh. Ronny
is a real estate investor and is now an avid
Pitt fan. He even predicted that Pitt
would win on Saturday. Look for Ronny
to be at the Syracuse and South Florida
tailgaters. Ronny is currently living
with Apeface in North Park while his
condo in the Mexican War Streets is
redone. When not busy making
real estate deals, Ronny is a part-time
sale rep for Geico. He also loves Miller
Lite, bowling, and arts & crafts. Pitt
gained a huge fan on Saturday, let's
all hope that Ronny is the difference
maker at Papa John's Stadium this
weekend!

Blue Exclusive: Wanny's War Room
Only on Blue Panthers: Picture of Press Box used by Wanny during the game.
BP Poll Question:
Who is the bigger D-Bag, the guy who put a paper bag over his head when the score was 10-3 (saw you in the club seats dumbass) or the 'fan' who left during the third quarter?
(answer below)
Answer: Guy who left early is worse. Even this serial killer stayed the entire game.
Spotted driving erratically up Rt 28 immediately afterward, the killer remarked, "While many of my crimes are rage-based, this is the first time in ten years I haven't wanted to lash out after a Pitt game. The city's hookers are safe tonight. Wow, I feel, like this is a new beginning for me and the program."
--Way to go SK! Too bad Sunday night sucked.

"I know how to coach," says Big Dave
"There will be no questions answered, just a few comments will be made in regards to this week's opponent in Louisville. #1, We will go back to the read & react defense. #2, Ron Cook is a loser. #3, I am going to run over anyone in my way."
FireDaveWannstedt.Com Traffic Takes A Hit
Pitt Fans still suffering from a Saturday hangover continue to email the Blue Panthers.
Their biggest concern?
Many are worried that the win against the Bearcats has temporarily stolen their
thunder. For a full 48 hours they were unable to continually parrot any of the following
phrases:
"He's a good recruiter but a terrible coach."
"Look at his record in Chicago and Miami."
"He needs to fire his coaches."
Don't worry- There's a new buzz phrase. It's only been said 45,098 times since Saturday and will soon be appearing on a 5 dollar t-shirt exclusive to Art Rooney Avenue vendors.
"He Should Always Coach in The Press Box."
Great Call. Funny, observant, and so true.

Where are they now?
Boner Boy went out to Utah to look for former Panther recruit "Big Rig" Nate Hartung. And apparently, Nate just completed his 2 year mission. But the really good news is--Nate is transferring to the University of Pittsburgh. He doesn't have to sit out next season due to NCAA Rule #69TripleX. That rule states, "Anytime you weigh more than any student on campus, then you become eligible immediately," says NCAA President Myles Brand.
This is great news because Nate is going to room with Chase Clowser and Wayne Jones next season. When asked about the weight limit in Sutherland Dorm rooms, Pitt's Director of Housing, Jim Earle said, "No comment." Earle was a former associate AD under Steve Pederson at Pitt. Now he is in charge of making sure Chase cleans up his dirty undies.
Ok thats all the updates on the Oline this week from Boner Boy, but help is on the way.
Inside the Huddle with Paul Done
It's been a difficult year with the loss of offensive tackle Jason Pinkston. "Jason was really coming on in 2007 and now I am on the hot seat because he is out for the year," said Oline coach Paul Dunn. Mike McGlynn has taken over at tackle for Jason, but according to our sources on the South Side, look for major changes this weekend. Chase "I never won a race" Clowser is going to see some time on Saturday. Possibly even start. Hangman checked with his sources at the Original Hot Dog Shop and apparently it's true.
They have seen Chase working out in the restaurant 4 nights a week. "Chase has really made a big effort this week and I am sure all the fans will notice on Saturday," says Coach Dunn. Time will tell, but Hangman and B-sqaured are pumped up to finally watch one of their favorite players get the chance on Saturday. Somewhere--Tom Freeman is smiling....
Pre-Game Speech--by White Powder
BREAKING B-SQUARED NEWS
Welcome To Saturday
Trib:
After missing Tuesday's practice, Wannstedt got around Pitt's offices Wednesday on a motorized scooter and watched practice from a golf cart to keep his leg elevated. //
BP: Support Wanny, take a scooter to Saturday's tailgater. There will be more than enough room to ride around Stevie P's corporate lot. Also expected to attend: 3 toothless Alco guards, a drunk ticket scalper, a kid selling candy bars, and a fat chick handing out Post-Gazettes.
Note: Primantis Ass is welcome too.
Today's Fill Copy Award for not going out on a limb while writing something in a Larry King style that will be trumped by whatever happens next year anyway:
The Valley Independent
The way the Panthers have been playing lately -- with four straight losses and the meat of the schedule coming up -- I'd be surprised if Wannstedt is still on the sidelines when Bostick and McCoy are seniors.

window at us while we're bent over the Cincy spread offense.
It's Official--Bob Smizik is in Love with Marky Marc Boehm
BONER BOY REPORTS:
Program needs more than just a caretaker
Wednesday, September 12, 2007
By Bob Smizik, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The challenge in front of Jeff Long when he was named Pitt's athletic director in May 2003 was an enormous one: Succeeding Steve Pederson, the dynamic visionary whose imprint on Pitt athletics was historical.
It was Pederson who had the courage to tear down Pitt Stadium and move the football program to Heinz Field and the South Side complex. It was Pederson who reached beyond the talk and got the Petersen Events Center built.
There was no way Long, who left Pitt yesterday to become athletic director at Arkansas, or anyone could duplicate Pederson's success.
If only he had tried.
It's usually foolish to attempt to speculate on a successor. Whoever it is, it probably will be a person no one in Pittsburgh has as heard of -- as was the case with the enormously successful hires of Chuck Noll, Jim Leyland, Bill Cowher and Ben Howland.
But here are two names that deserve serious consideration.
Donna Sanft was named the interim athletic director yesterday. This is no cosmetic hire. Sanft, the senior associate athletic director for administration, student life and compliance, is hugely respected. Her title indicates she has a broad variety of experience. She was a standout athlete and coach at Pitt in gymnastics before becoming an administrator.
Mark Boehm, who was the interim athletic director before Long was hired, also should be considered. When Boehm was passed over, he followed Pederson, his mentor, to Nebraska. Although Boehm was in charge for only a few months, both Dixon and Berenato were hired on his watch. He was Pederson's key lieutenant at Pitt and a man who knows his way around college athletic administration.
Surely, Pitt will look beyond the obvious. It must. The next athletic director needs to be the best person, not the person most available. These are critical times in college athletics and critical times at Pitt. There should be no rush. Haste would be a mistake. But a larger mistake would again be picking the wrong person.

Are you kidding?
True story: Boner Boy nearly attacked a hobo after seeing this freak.
