It's ATTITUDE vs. RAGE: Round 2 as Penn State and Iowa engage in a grudge match at the Jordan Center. Hopefully, things will go much better for the Nittany Lions since this game is at home tonight. Also, if you like the remote possibility that Fran might pile-drive a chair again (see video above), then tune in to ESPNU at 9:00 PM ET to see how things unfold...
What's that? You're not one of the 50 people who gets ESPNU? Dios mio, man. Lucky for you, it's 2012, which means you can watch the game streaming live on the Internets via ESPN3.com. If you're still an unfortunate soul who can't watch, you can listen to Steve Jones and Dick Jerardi whisper sweet nothings in your ears on these local radio affiliates, Sirius Ch 113, or XM Ch 190.
EDIT: So, I'm an idiot and didn't realize the game tipped off at 8:00 PM ET. Open thread will remain as is for the second half.
And remember boys and girls: No porn, no comments that would draw praise from the KKK or Westboro Baptist Church, and no links to any streaming video feed other than ESPN3's.

These fouls are racking up.
Woodyard with 4, Graham with 3.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
Seems woodyard is having a really good game
If only he didn’t have 4 fouls.
AriesGD - February 16, 2012
Sounds like 3 people are yelling when Iowa has the ball.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
I know that friend of BSD and lively BHGP commentator PackerHawk is at the game
letsgopsu - February 16, 2012
Here comes the run, get ready.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
At least the alumni showed up.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
"Borovoniak"
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
It's pretty hard for announcers to pronounce things phonetically, huh?
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
Could you imagine if...
…they had to pronounce Nik or My Name is Joonas’s last name?
Obradovic
Suotamo

Jesus. Think of the children.

Love the Lionette's outfits.

Our band really needs new unis
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
Unis are expensive to buy and maintain.
But a lot of other bands seem to do well with rugby shirts, which I’m a huge proponent of. Greg Drane recently took the funds that usually go towards paying the Blue Banders a modest stipend during football season and instead put it into the school instrument maintenance fund, so no one would have to pay the fee at the beginning of the year. But I bet if you asked the band, they’d gladly pay the maintenance fee plus a little extra if they also got a POTL rugby polo that they’d get to keep.

Man, that runner is so pretty.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
Marshall doing his best
Tim Frazier impression.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
This mid-half offensive explosion is Big Macian.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Graham is out.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
For now.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
He seriously does some of the dumbest shit imaginable.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Yeah.
He is an upgrade over Sasa…GOD DAMNIT GATENS
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
That can't be true.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
There is a reason why Graham starts over Sasa.
One has a little talent, one doesn’t.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
I'll agree that there's a reason
I disagree that Sasa doesn’t have talent. I think he’ll be very good in a year or two.
ckmneon - February 17, 2012
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
Don't get me wrong though,
they both aren’t very good at all.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
I guess I should have finished this sentence,
but Gatens didn’t want me to.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
Jon Graham. My Lord.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
THANK YOU!
Seriously, that was a special kinda terrible pivot.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
not bad turnout
considering thon weekend is coming up and every student needs to stock pile some nap minutes to prepare
ktd5048 - February 16, 2012
Why are some ESPNU games on ESPN3 and some not?
Any short recap of this game would be helpful. Looks like they are doing well.
mundyscorner99 - February 16, 2012
We're gonna lose this game.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
This is going south fast.
From a 16 to a 3 point lead.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
in 2.3
seconds
ktd5048 - February 16, 2012
How long have they been wearing "JVP" patches?
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
A few weeks.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Wow, I completely missed the boat on that one.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
The first game after the day Joe died.

TheSwish - February 16, 2012
Is anyone covering this
MoFo Gatens? I mean he is 5-6 from behind the arch.
AriesGD - February 16, 2012
Those five came in the second half.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
That would be no.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Jesus. Come on, guys. Finish.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
oh boy
This is too close for comfort

ktd5048 - February 16, 2012
That's all based on Twitter rumors.
May end up being true, who knows. Belichick was fighting hard to keep Godsey.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
colella
gonna rain down ten threes in a row in a glorious dagger to end the last two minutes
ktd5048 - February 16, 2012
I get ESPNU
what I don’t get is BTN. I would rather have that.

WHY IS JON GRAHAM EVER TOUCHING THE BALL ON OFFENSE.
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Unless he is wide open
and is under the basket, he should have no contact with the ball
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
against kentucky
i still remember him being wide open and trying to dunk one handed and being denied by the rim
ktd5048 - February 16, 2012
Gonna have to win this one in regulation with the foul trouble.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
That last part scares me.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
HUGE!

Rage. Fury.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
G.D., Marshall. What the hell are you doing?
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Being Marshall, like always
Here’s what you have to realize to cope with having Marshall on your team: He does things; things that sometimes ostensibly have no rhyme or reason to them. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don’t. He plays hard, his teammates seem to like him, and his tempo free stats are respectable, if nowhere approaching awesome. He is never the fearless genius he seems like when things are working. He is never the selfish idiot he seems like when they don’t.
For an NBA comparison, see Verejao, Anderson during the LeBron years in Cleveland.
ckmneon - February 17, 2012
Wow. Chokefest 2012.
Adam Collyer - February 16, 2012
What's going on?
Watching ESPN gamecast is driving me crazy.
mundyscorner99 - February 16, 2012
3 point lead
25 left, psu has the ball with 10 on the shot clock
TheSwish - February 16, 2012

Good
Maybe now they will be able to make it to more games instead of getting fat off of Big Macs.
TheSwish - February 16, 2012
Chambers intentionally denies big macs again!
PSUinBOSSton - February 16, 2012
So, who will photoshop a Big Mac into a trollface?
Chris Grovich - February 16, 2012
Closest thing I've found so far...

I love the name on the bottom...
…“ICANHASCHEEZBURGER.COM”
Fits perfectly.
TheSwish - February 17, 2012
Didn't even notice that
ha, thats great.
AriesGD - February 17, 2012
Iowa was so, so beatable last time
We shot like .0125% in the first half of the away game and were still kind of in it in the second. If we could have kept scoring at a semi-reasonable pace in the second half we would have (should have) won by double digits and been Big Mac’in it. But I’m just happy with squeaking out a win of any kind.
PSUCharmas - February 16, 2012
New team rule:
If you’re the guy who misses the shot that costs the fans the big macs, you do lunch hour in McD’s the next day.
