The Lions' Pride

Notorious I take your view of things. Maybe a little perspective why - I worked for a time in Kansas City with some other Big Ten fans around the time PSU joined the conference. They never accepted PSU to the point that when I moved to take another position in Indiana, one day in the mail I get a box from one of the Michigan fans. He had bought one of the Big Ten small helmet collectors kit and he sent me the PSU helmet. Sorry but its well established and earned by now, not simply from this anectdotal story (undefeated seasons, this latest screw job)..They gave no quarter, they get no quarter..simple as that.. Don't get me wrong, I don't wally in it. I am optimistic about us, how much fun it will be to watch us develop this year and beyond..But it is only about us... 100%

I havent really watchd CFB Live or any of the other CFB preview shows lately, not because I am trying to "stick it" to anybody, just that it hurts to watch all these other teams where everything is going so well for them, their cheating, their on the verge of a MNC season, etc...

College Football is like a hobby of mine, way better the pro football. The other teams didn't do this to us. One Monster and a "Complete Asshole" acting as the God and Jury did this, out of fear from Media pressure.

I honestly can't answer this until 9/1. I will say that I've avoided all CFB leadup programming just because I don't want to hear any more negative about us. Will I watch as much non-PSU this season? I really can't say until I'm in the moment. Right now it's still painful and sore. That might change once the season begins. But like someone said, it will be very difficult to watch cheating programs lauded on television while we're "shamed".

I'm fired up and can't wait for the season. First off, I will always watch and love PSU, even if they go 0-12. Secondly, there are many teams that I simply like to see lose and every weekends have underdogs that are fun to root for. College football is great, despite what we are going through right now. I can't tell you how depressed I get once February rolls around. I hate that month.

For me, college football gives me insight into the pros. Just like I love recruiting, I also love the draft. To become familiar with the players who may be entering the draft requires me to watch as much college football as I can. Obviously, I love Penn State, but I also love football in general, so I watch any games I can. I am a little anal about games too, as I love to record them, and break down certain players who are of interest to me. For example, I have 4 Baylor games on DVR from last year, and I watched each one at least twice to be able to really familiarize myself with Griffins game. I did the same with Oklahoma and Arkansas, as I was a fan of Landry Jones and Tyler Wilson. Even though I hate them, I watched a ton of USC games last year because I love Robert Woods. I also watched a lot of Alabama, because I stole some of their defensive ideas for our high school team.

For me(besides PSU), college football is more about players and schemes, than it is about rooting for another team.

Honestly didn't watch a game this year. Mind you I listened to pretty much every game on a local PSU radio station that streamed online and lived through the in game threads.......Half marks I guess, couldn't stay away completely though, this team was just to inspirational. Still haven't clicked on ESPN and rarely visit the other major sports sites. Good thing about living in Canada I guess, can visit our sites that never had much to say on the issue. Truthfully have not watched much in the way of sports at all as I only really ever watched CFB and NHL with any loyalty and both screwed that up this year.

I definitely watched less than usual, but gradually more as the season wore on. It helped that we were winning, it would have been too difficult if we were 4-8 instead of 8-4. That said, I want nothing to do with bowl season. I don't expect to watch anything but the MNC game. My tolerance for hypocrisy in December the next 4 years is not going to be very high at all.

I watched our games, as I said I would. Snuck a peak here and there on others. But sat through no others. All I know about the rest of the NCAA Football season is what I read in the papers.

Watched a few more games than just PSU, but not all that much. Enjoyed seeing USC fall to pieces a few times, Stanford got robbed against ND. Wife wanted to watch aTm beat Alabama (she likes chaos in the BCS). Maybe a few other games, most of which were in the background.

Watched parts of other games each week but never another game from start to finish. Watched all of our games twice and plan on watching some again to get my bowl fix.
