Thread for Hippos to mock Penn State

I thought he was trying to be a professional poker player.

Now he can hang out with MDS whenever he wants, though.

A few days later, Dexter Hazelton told Scout.com he was upset over the fanfare surrounding his son's visit to Penn State, which included taking in a Nittany Lion basketball game in courtside seats. "We wanted a laid-back trip just to find out the things we wanted to know," Dexter Hazelton said. "We did not want all the bells and whistles."

His father sounds like a full-on pain in the farging ass.

Good luck, Pete.  You're gonna need it with that fruitcake.

Great idea, move to Southern California instead where none of that exists.    What a moron, I hope he gets McGahee'd.

its possible that this 18 year old will turn into something, but far more likely that in three years no one will remember his name.

Oh well.  Chris Bell is one happy guy today.

for a guy who didnt want fanfare he sure turned his sons recruiting process into a complete circus

Defensive linemen

1. PENN STATE: E Maurice Evans, T Abe Koroma, E Eric Latimore, E Aaron Maybin, T Tom McEowen, T Jared Odrick, T Ollie Ogbu, T Phillip Taylor, E Johnnie Troutman -- Where's the beef? It's heading to State College. This may be the best position class signed by anybody.

Boing.

Offensive Lineman

4. PENN STATE: T/G Lou Eliades, G/C Doug Klopacz, G Antonio Logan-El, G J.B. Walton -- The Nittany Lions raided Maryland, getting seven of that state's top 10 prospects, including Logan-El and Walton.

Even though it isn't nearly as impressive as the D-line class I get more excited about this.

I can't get excited about O-linemen, no matter how good they are.

Penn State, who do you think you are?
March 2, 2006

Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt has tried. He really has. He wants to play Penn State. Heck, he used to as a Panther player, and he loved it. But the Nittany Lions want none of the Panthers.

It's a shame, really.

Oh, Penn State will play Pitt -- as long as the Panthers make two visits to State College for every one the Nittany Lions make to Pitt.

Where does Penn State come off making that demand?

I was in Wannstedt's office earlier this week, but we didn't talk about Penn State. He's busy trying to build a program. And from the looks of the Pitt facilities and recent recruiting class, Wannstedt has the Panthers pointed toward big things.

Penn State? I guess it has bigger non-conference fish to fry than Pitt. You know, games vs. the likes of Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Akron, Central Florida, Temple and Kent State in recent years. This year, I-AA Youngstown State is on the Nits' schedule.

But there's no room for a home-and-home with Pitt. What a flipping joke.

Imagine the excitement an annual Pitt-Penn State game would generate. It's not difficult to do, considering the schools met pretty much every year from 1915-2000. What has changed at Penn State for it now to view Pitt like it's Eastern Montana Tech?

Pitt is in a BCS league and plays in an NFL stadium. That's good, right? The game would be a sellout and likely televised nationally. That's good, right?

Hmmm. This may take some detective work.

Some say Penn State snubs its nose at Pitt because of a grudge Joe Paterno holds against the Panthers. This goes back to the early 1980s, when JoePa proposed the idea of an Eastern-based conference. Pitt rejected it. JoePa seethed. If that's true, doesn't JoePa know that grudges and resentment only hurt the person holding them? He's too old for that junk.

Maybe Penn State's outlandish 2-for-1 demands aren't based on an old-time grudge held by Paterno. Maybe Penn State is just flat-out scared of Pitt. If that's the case, well, that's just sad.

What this all boils down to is ego. It's a simple case of one school thinking it's better than another. How else can you explain Penn State's demands?

what a douche bag
