Is ESPN giving too much credit to Penn State, and Michigan State? I am not sure why Penn State would be favored over Ohio State. Penn State seems to have lost key people.

PSU over OSU makes sense. Last 2 trips to Happy Valley resulted in an OT win and a Loss. PSU is a good team, getting great recriuts, and playing with bona a fid Home Feild Advantage.
MSU has Dantonio, and a steller defense, as well as Home feild advantage. Both these games will be huge this year.

OSU has won the last 6 in East Lansing, MSU hasn't beat the Buckeyes at home since 1999.  Until the beatdown last year, MSU had won the previous three matchups not played in East Lansing (2 in Columbus, 1 in Indy).  Not sure home field is an "advantage."

And Maybe that's why ESPN has OSU favored over MSU, and not PSU?

Looking forward to seeing some football this weekend in C-Bus.  Hope the weather is favorable, and nice for atleast most of the day.  Hope to see some good QB action, atleast a snip it I hope of all three guys tossing the ball around, not just running.

The spring game is the one time of the year where I really miss Tressel. 

They are so bad now. Last year they literally played a game of two hand touch.

Players are constantly switching sides, the offense gets mulligans, they change down and distance randomly. The coaches are right out on the field in the middle of everything. The field goals are kicked over and over, moving the ball back five yards every time with Urban just standing over the holder and glaring at the kicker. They don't even stop the clock in the second half. 

The circle drills are cool though.

Tressel did seem to run more true scrimmage, and I think Urban did a live scrimmage his 1st year, but since it is more of a glorified practice.

This use to be a guys trip, but now we take the kids, they get to access areas, see the stadium, the players and get away for the weekend, plus it does not require a 2nd mortgage like a true game trip!

My 2 girls (7 and 4) will be at the Spring Game with me on Sunday.
It's been my Birthday Present to myself since the oldest was born.
