Announcer Appropriately Flubs The Name of The TicketCity Bowl
That’s right folks, Penn State played in the “Ticket ****** Bowl” according to this announcer!
In this clip, a commentator for the 2012 Ticket City Bowl incorrectly renames the bowl game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Houston Cougars. Maybe subconsciously this guy was affected by the infamous Penn State scandal and let this funny flub slip out of...

So, why did the Houston Cougars put up a billboard featuring Case Keenum giving ‘the shocker’ hand gesture anyway?
Well, because it’s not supposed to be “the shocker” as defined by Urban Dictionary. (Warning: link not safe for the faint of heart, parents of any age, or Rick Santorum.)
Here is the picture, and then in true Paul Harvey style…the rest of the story.

PedoBear Trolling Penn State Fans
Well pre-game there were protesters outside of the TicketCity Bowl, but they weren't half as entertaining as PedoBear guy who made a bigger statement by just attending the game.
We all know that Penn State is sick over what happened, but there's nothing wrong with a reminder that pedophilia is sickening and Jerry Sandusky deserves to be put away forever.

To beat Houston, Bolden can’t play
It’s hard for me to say this because I was such a firm advocate for Rob Bolden to get the starting job at the start of the year but after seeing him on the field, let’s be honest; it’s going to take a miracle for Penn State to beat Houston in the TicketCity Bowl if Bolden is under center.
Matt McGloin is running out of time to get cleared to play and it looks like Bolden is...
