This week Nick from The Nittany Line<\/span><\/a> asked the questions. Black Shoe Diaries<\/a>, There Is No Name On My Jersey<\/a><\/b> and Run Up The Score!<\/a><\/b> have the answers too. The Nittany Blog<\/span><\/a> also makes its BWR debut.<\/p>\n

Which is worse: having your parachute fail to open while skydiving or losing to Appalachian State?<\/p>\n

The parachute not opening is worse, but barely. While I enjoy laughing at Michigaan, I just think it will make losing to them even worse.
<\/span>
Is it too early to worry about the running game?<\/p>\n

It isn’t too early to worry about the running game. I am skeptical Penn State can beat better teams by relying on Anthony Morelli who is a pure pocket quarterback; that isn’t enough these days. I like to think Penn State could pass to set up the run, because I don’t think Joe Paterno is comfortable putting games in the hands of a quarterback.
<\/span>
Is just a win enough to satisfy you this weekend against Notre Dame or are there qualifiers on a victory to make it acceptable?<\/p>\n

While Dan Connor and Sean Lee picking up Jimmy Clausen to “make a wish” sounds great, a win is enough to satisfy me against Notre Dame — just get it done. That is probably how I feel about most of the conference games too. I was unsatisfied by the Florida Intramural1<\/sup> win though, the running game has me very concerned and it is hard to be satisfied when you play someone with no chance to win.<\/p>\n

I would really enjoy a Nebraska 2002 style beat down on Saturday though. I want losers like this one<\/span><\/a> to suffer. <\/span><\/p>\n

Got a ticket, praying for a ticket, or watching the game somewhere else this weekend?<\/p>\n

I don’t have any tickets for the game. I’d love to be there, but I can’t break the bank to do it. My wife and I plan on watching it from my couch on my 19 inch TV. We’ll have our usual tailgate foods and beverages as
well.<\/span><\/p>\n

What non-PSU game are you looking forward to this weekend?<\/p>\n

Non-PSU game? There are others? If anyone probably Virginia Tech vs. LSU, but I tend to get so into the Penn State game that I need to chill out and get away from football when it is over.
<\/span>
1<\/sup>My wife Erica came up with this on Sunday.<\/font><\/p>\n
