Bowl Tweets

It's bowl season, so that means it's time for the final round of tweets around the Big Ten...

Penn State assistant Jay Paterno:

"I can't help but wonder: if Joe Paterno coached at LSU would their cheer for him be "When I say JeauxPa, you say Terneaux"."

"Congrats to Daryll Clark on winning the Silver Football-Big 10 MVP-the 3rd PSU QB to win since PSU joined in 1993 more than any school"

"The Capital One Bowl will be a showcase of the greatest tailgaters on the planet--Penn State & LSU fans. Can you put kielbasa in gumbo?"

Penn State Assistant Tom Bradley:

"This afternoon and tonight [Dec. 5] is all about recruiting...we have a great group of players and people on campus this weekend"

Purdue head coach Danny Hope: "Purdue University is now the 87th ranked university in the WORLD, moving up 12 spots from last year. Boiler Up!"

Post-Game Tweets from none other than Pat Fitzgerald, among others

Here I am, sitting in the library, contemplating whether I should do American Short Story homework or do a little blogging (Is this even a legitimate question?)

To make a long story short, here I am, and here are some post-game tweets from today and yesterday for y'all.

Pat Fitzgerald:
1)"'Cats win!! It was so great to sing our fight song again! GO CATS!"
2) "'Cats fans - Thank you for all the support! We're back in the office and preparing for Miami! GO CATS!"
3) "BEARS WIN! Another great game by former 'Cat Nick Roach- keep it rolling! GO CATS!"
4) "It's great to see former 'Cats Luis Castillo and Trai Essex playing against each other tonight in the Steelers vs Chargers Game. GO CATS!"

Indiana RB Bryan Payton
1) "Well...That game sucked"

*Tell us how you really feel Bryan...*

PSU Assistant Jay Paterno:
1) "Happy with our performance. A big step back from last weekend. Guys played hard & had fun. Got to see Doc to beat this flu."

2) "After watching the video a 2nd time what Joe says is true: You're never as good as you think you are when you win. I am still happy though."

PSU Assisntant Tom Bradley:
1) "The players really played hard yesterday.We made our mistakes but they stayed after them and tackled well.Our offense took it to them !"

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet

Time to take a look at some of the Tweets around the Big Ten...

Penn State assistant coach Tom Bradley: "Tough day...we need to get everyone focused on our next test Illinois.No time to feel sorry. Juice,Benn and co.can make for a long afternoon"

*Could this tweet mean the Nittany Lions are in store for a potential letdown against the Illini?

Indiana RB Bryan Payton: "its gettin cool outside...time to break out my array of jackets"

*It was quite cold today. I had to get my jacket out of the closet at well.

Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald: "These kids and their families are a true inspiration to our Team! http://cbs2chicago.com/spec..."


Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster: "Gopher Nation you guys were awesome in Chicago!! Lets get ready to make some serious noise on Saturday! See you at 9:00am!! Go Gophers!"

A Bonus Tweet from Indiana head basketball coach Tom Crean, regarding the crucial dual-posseision/interception call in the IU-Michigan game: "Like Ray Bentley just said" Justice was not served." That was wrong. Our guys had earned the right to get this win."

*I have to agree with Coach Crean on this one, I really think the Hoosiers got hosed on that call. They deserved a chance to make the comeback and the refs took it away from them.
