Random Wordplay for Wednesday 8/17/11

N-WOP-M-MINI-PIM

Used in a sentence: "It doesn't lend iself to any kind of memorable acronym, but N-WOP-M-MINI-PIM is the predicted order of finish in the Big 10 for the upcoming season."

With the O referenced therein facing a possible bowl ban, it seems like our main obstacles are Nebraska (sorry Northwestern, you're the second N) and Wisconsin and our own tendency to tackle JoePa on the sidelines once every few years (and, sorry Perdue, but we're the first P in that odds line-up). It's probably a good thing our bye week is before those two games at the end of the season against those top-odds-getting teams. With published odds of 11:2, any numerologists out there intrigued by the fact that the N and W games are two of the ones we have in November, the 11th month?

Labor Day weekend -- the last chance to go to a Chicago beach, the first chance to see a new MDA telethon and the first game of the Penn State season. Can we just write off the rest of August and go to Sep 1 immediately (without passing go and without collecting $200 -- and, on a tangential side note only vaguely related to Labor Day, why hasn't the salary in that game ever gone up -- how depressing is that!)?

We are (or is that ... We will be ...) ... Penn State!

THE SEASON WILL BE OVER BEFORE THEY MAKE THEIR DECISION?:
