We sent BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart on the BTN Football Tour to provide analysis from every Big Ten camp. He's done so through the first three stops. With a day of travel planned Friday, well, he couldn't stop the analysis. This time, Dienhart provided witty and entertaining play-by-play of the tour bus' mechanical troubles, right outside State College, Pa.
Breaking the news:
Uh-oh: BTN bus has encountered mechanical issues along I-99 minutes outside of State College. Driver is furiously working his cell phone.

Spot-on analysis:
BTN bus was coughing smoke. Small section of hose malfunctioned. Driver has sent out S.O.S. Help is 15 minutes away. Time to chug Red Bull.

Perhaps Tom's best tweet ever?

Time for some more humor:
I think I just saw a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan packed with the MAC football coaches drive past us. And it honked. #smh
