PSU_Nut

White on white is not that bad.  What looked bad is when they had the white socks pulled up to their knees.  Made it look like they were wearing pajamas or something.

I have comcast cable and i was able to get the link and download the ESPN software.  It worked perfectly for me and i can get all the ESPN 360 content.  

Wasnt Penn State like the only team in the Big 10 to win today?  

Penn State, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue and Northwestern all won this weekend.

did penn state play vanilla defense and offense in that game?

 On defense it was very vanilla.  we sat back and played zone.  Very little blitzing and only rushed 3 or 4 guys.  They figured we had enough of a lead that if you don't give up a quick score USF wasn't going to come back.  Offense was pretty plain, seemed to run the same draw play over and over again.

Thanks 'Nut.  BTW, what happened to the Blizzard.  I saw a lot of non-white.  And secondly, what's up w/the lion claw w/5 fingers on all the cars?  It doesn't look right.  Should be four claws...right?

Hightech...I supposed that was the case but on all the road games I been to, talent viewing is in the top 5 things to do at the game.  UofSC, AL, ECU, and even Troy State had good neck exercising drills.  At PSU during halftime, I only had maybe three head turners and I was looking pretty hard.  There was disappointm't however I did not go near the student section but at my age I appreciate well kept 30 something mommies too.

I was disappointed by the blizzard too.  it may take a few games to catch on though.  It was very similar last year the first few games people kinda forgot.  the reason there are 5 fingers is because Clemson copyrighted the 4 finger paw before PSu started using it.

they are espn announcers.  they were awful.  they were calling PSU names wrong all game.  they kept calling Mike robinson tony robinson, tony hunt austin hunt.  they were bad.

It will be Big East officials doing the game.

I love your new logo.  The old logo looked like a yak on crack.

2 Rules, must be over 21 and no kegs.  everything else is fine.  You will see people playing bear pong, full stocked bars.  You can openly walk around with a beer bottle.  

Attendance is higher at PSU because there is NOTHING else to do near PSU.  Can't recall the last time anyone went to University Park for spring break or vacation.

That has to be the dumbest thing i have ever heard.  Do you really think that the only reason people go to penn state games is because there is nothing else to do?  the truth is that most of the people who attend games come from areas which have just as much to do as tampa ect.  

Cooper was a mjor ass.  there was about a minute left in the game and it was about a 30 minute delay.  instead of taking a knee to end the game he called a deep pass.

Penn State sends their whole band to ussually one game sometimes 2 if there are some close games.  they do send a small pep band to all away games which is made up of all seniors.  it only about 30 or so members.

He has a sprained knee and will be out 2 weeks.  He was the 3rd string tailback.

we always wear blue at home.  The blizzard is for fans.

sorry no beer sales inside the staduim.

They are offering Gameplan online again this year.  It is $99.  You might want to see if you can get ESPN's new ESPN 360.  They may show a few games on their too.

NO KEGS!!!!! Wow. and I thought we were strict. I guess Sherriff, Matty, Bunt and the boys will have to have 1/2 of their vehicle loaded with mega cases and huge coolers. Go get em boys!!! Wish I was with ya!    Reaper

That is actually one of the rules they strickly enforce along with the charcoal grills.  i bit of warning is PA you can not buy bear in grocery stores or convience stores.  You can only buy 2 6 packs at a time from a bar/6pack shop.  You need to go to a beer distributor inorder to buy cases.

Some tips:

Arrive early to parking lots.  There is no shortage but you can end up pretty far away if you arrive late.  There is plenty to see and do before the game.  Gates open 2 hours before kick-off and the parking lots open at 8am.  All parking is "forced" parking, which means they park cars as they come in.  If you want to park with someone you must follow them in.  Once you park you can not move your car.   If you don't pack a tailgate food is available in the Jordan Center Arena.  The Penn State band holds a pregame concert in the arena.  

Try to get to your seats early,  30 min before kickoff at least.  There can often be bottlenecks getting through the gates.  All bags are searched and long lines can form.  If you can avoid carring bags by all means do it.  there are express lines that to not back up as bad for people not carring anything, but backups in portals close to kickoff do still happen.  The seats are alluminum bleachers so a seat cusion is highly recommended.  hard chairback seats are not permitted.  Weather should be good but umbrellas are not allowed.  Every game there is a chance of rain there are hundreds of umbrellas piled up at the gate.

Cow bells are not allowed in the stadium.  Also all bags are searched.  With only 4 gates lines can grow pretty long for bag searches so try to avoid carrying a bag.  You can just walk in if your just carrying a seat cusion.  Gates open 2 hours prior to kick off and there is no re-entry policy.
