Columnist goes out swinging, misses target by a mile Tim Brown Capital Times Staff Can I start to laugh now or should I wait until Penn State loses to the miserable Pitt Panthers? This is the last meeting between these two Pennsylvania powerhouses (yeah right) and by the time this paper hits the stands Penn State will have lost once again to finish this most pitiful of seasons. Do you think that the Blockbuster Bowl Selection Committee is collectively going insane watching their early pick go down in flames? It was to be Penn State (a top ten ranked team) vs. another powerhouse so as to lend some credibility to the bowl. What they have is Penn State (ranked about 30) vs. Stanford (ranked 14). Not a very attractive prospect for a bowl that should have had a say in deciding the National Champs. On the eve of entering the Big 10, Penn State has not proven that they can, or will be up to Big 10 standards. Penn State has the academic standing that the Big 10 wants, but I think that Uncle Joe and his merry band of losers will be sorely embarrassed. There will never be another National Championship team under Joe Patemo, and that you can bank on.

How far can a 6-4 (probably will end up 6-5) team go? In my humble opinion, they should just go to the showers and end With the loss to Notre Dame everyone was saying, "Oh, but Penn State showed great heart out there...they gained back respectability!" Hey you idiots, THEY LOST! Try to understand that by losing, you gain nothing but an "L" not a "W". There is more to life than winning and losing, but you people make me sick when you can't see what a squad of losers looks like and try to salvage something from nothing. THEY LOST, THEIR SEASON WAS AWFUL, THEY WERE PITIFUL THIS YEAR! I am far from being a Notre Dame fan but as I am so fond of saying (and this is the last time I will say it) I HATE PENN STATE FOOTBALL! I HATE FANS OF PENN STATE FOOTBALL! I HATE BLUE AND WHITE! If I ever see another "cute" Penn State bumper sticker or tee shirt saying how God is a Penn State fan, or anything else, you will be reading about how I went on a shooting spree killing anyone wearing the "holy" blue cITORONTO.CANADA BUFFALO. NY b. NESTER, NY 1 Trailways Home Home Home Home Glen side, PA Home Home Home Home Aston, PA Home Home Philadelphia, PA Home CAPITAL November 23, TIMES SPORTS /1 1 1992 and white. Ever notice how when Notre Dame makes a lucky play, the press labels it "a miracle"? Puh-lease! If anyone else were to make the same plays that the totally overrated Fighting Irish do, the press would call it "unbelievable", or "lucky." Case in point, Mirer's two point conversion in the last seconds of the game that allowed the Irish to Kill the Lions was touted a "miracle" immediately thereafter (the fact that Penn State sucks had something to do with the victory). I feel a little bad right now because Riddick Bowe is the new Heavyweight champion of the world. Evander Holyfield may not have been the biggest, best, or the baddest of heavyweight champs, but he held the title with dignity. Unlike Tyson, Holyfield had class, showing the world that all boxers, especially champs, don't have to act like animals. He was a positive role model for the black youth of America. He showed that all black athletes are not boorish slobs to be put on display for the white media to say "what a shame that all successful black athletes act like niggers." He was a good guy who showed he had a mind and wasn't afraid to use it to disprove stereotypes. He was openly religious and thanked God for his success, and he meant it. Professional sports needs more athletes like him. Hate Tank steamrolls to take flag football crown Hilary Zeiders Capital Times Staff Hut one. Hut two. HIKE! The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat are not just special to big league ball players, they're also on the football field at Penn State Harrisburg. Intramural flag football might not sound very serious, but don't say that to the guys competing for the 'Superbowl Championship,' Twelve teams, made up of 170 students are split into two divisions, a system parallel to that of the NFL.

I'll tell you why, because the flabby new champion wants to ride the gravy train before losing his title. It will be interesting to see how Bowe's manager gets out of the contract stating that his boy has to fight Lewis. One final football note, Pitt, 3-7, says they want to beat Penn State to salvage some respectability for this season. I don't think so. Ar 3-7 Pitt would have a hard time getting Houdini to pull some respectability otA: of their hat. Magic Johnson has retired, once again, as well he should. He had no right endangering the lives of others because he felt that he could still play. There are limits to a person's rights and that limit begins when another life is in danger. I wonder how much of that $14.5 million contract he signed will still go into his pocket? (probably not too much, I'm sure the Lakers had an out clause). This is my last column because as I am constantly saying (Candy and Michelle don't read this) I AM GRADUATING. I'M AUDI LIKE 5000. I'M HISTORY. I'M A GHOST. ELVIS HAS JUST LEFT THE BUILDING.

"We are the champions," said Buddy Dodson, a senior electrical engineering major. "Our quarterback [Brian Jacobelli] is the best in the league." There were rewards for those who couldn't take home a title. "My favorite part was scoring TDs on the long bombs," said Todd Stager, a senior environmental engineering technology major who played for Diggers Revenge. For Chris Sauers, a junior structural design engineering technology major, the competition attracted him. "It was fun to play against guys you know," Sauers said.
