Well on the bright side most of the Penn State posters expect a Gopher win.

Had to laugh at the line in the first thread with the prediction of Penn St winning and then Tubby quitting on Youtube directly following the game.

That was a pretty good line.

I didn't read them all, but it sounds their psoters like our team more than we do. It seems like they have a good board over there. I liked the the Tubby quitting on Youtube after the game line, too.
