Let's Talk Penn State Football (2 Viewers)

[E-Z Glider]

Happy Valley is going to be electric next weekend.  

• GameDay is in town for the first time in 8 years
  

Rumor is they may setup in the lawn at Old Main. Will make a cool backdrop and since its a night game, no need to be in the parking lot.

That would be pretty cool.  They usually setup on the Northeast side of the BJC I think.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

WE ARE!!!

HEISMAN

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

The pessimist in me hates these types of starts. It's such a long game.

 

[Insein]

Here we go. Let's get this back here.

 

[HellToupee]

Penn St should be wearing white tonight

 

[Insein]

Does feel a bit uncomfortable here.

 

[Insein]

Yea not good right before half.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Need a score here before the half, even a FG, to get some momentum.

 

[Insein]

Idk McSorley missing bad. I'm worried about a pick six.

 

[Insein]

That was huge!

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Or that.

 

[Insein]

Weird end there. Guess Franklin was worried about the pick 6 too.

 

[Insein]

I don't think McSorley will ever be a good NFL QB but he is a hell of a College QB.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

State has worn out Michigan's defense.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

State has worn out Michigan's defense.

This is the #1 defense in the country correct? I mean Herby told us so at the start.

 

[Insein]

Push this to 35 and put them away.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

PSU’s #1 is better than UM’s #1

 

[Insein]

My God, McSorley is nails.

 

[Andrew74]

Beat that ### PSU. 

 

[Insein]

Franklin's schtick is the best.

"We'll enjoy this for a couple hours and then we'll get ready for... Who'd you say we play next week? Oh Ohio State."

 

[mr. furley]

That was one gut wrenching loss to watch.  Got way too conservative.  But give props to USC, their QB might be the No. 1 overall pick very soon.

As I've skimmed over the posts one thing is for certain, this class is going to do great things.  Getting healthy and experienced OL back, just about everyone back on D and O.  Then there is Barkley and McSorley.  This team is going to snap some necks and cash some checks.

was that an EPMD reference??

 

[joffer]

nice win.  I feel pretty good about next week.

 

[Insein]

Looking at the OSU thread they think they're gonna win by 14+. Whatever the outcome, I'd say it's a one score game. Barkley and McSorley are just clicking right now. Plus the defense has been ferocious. Can't wait to see how they measure up.

Are you referring a different message board or only reading Mad Cow's posts?  Those are the only plausible reasons to make that statement.  Or you just want to rally up the boys here.

It was one of Mad Cows posts yes. I didn't see much dissent from it. Is he like the Lhucks if OSU?

Not that bad, no, lol.  Nobody still has JT's back like MC though.

No and never.

This is a fan base that thinks they should win every game by 21 points.

Heading to Columbus this weekend for the first time since 1993.  Hoping for a better result this time.

 That's awesome.

Im heading up to State College this weekend for the first time in 7-8 years to watch the game with some old college buds. Should be a blast!

Good tip.  Thanks.

If we manage to beat tOSU, I imagine downtown State College will be quite a scene.  At least it was after the ‘87 Fiesta Bowl and ‘90 Notre Dame away games.  Hope you get to enjoy a victory celebration for the ages.

 

[Johnnymac]

I love watching this Penn State team.  McSorley and Barkley are really fun to watch.  Barkley has everything to be a future hall of famer.  Hope the guy stays healthy.  Incredible atmosphere at the game Saturday night.

Beating OSU would take them pretty much out of the national title hunt. That and beating MSU would pretty much cement a trip to Indy to face Wisconsin.

But, one game, one quarter, one play at a time.

90 Notre Dame win was insane.  Mob the stadium, tear down goal post, and carry it around the city.  Wow.

I was up there for the 1994 season and same thing happened for the Illinois game. Carried it around the city and eventually left it on JoePa's front yard. 

Really hoping to relive some old memories this weekend. 

 

[CentralPA]

Would absolutely love a OSU beatdown but being the pessimistic Philly fan **** that I am I think Buckeyes win 21-20.

It'll be a close game no doubt but like I said all year, we go as far as McSorley will take us. I don't think OSU defense is as good as Michigan's. We should be able to score. Just have to stop them enough. 38-34 Penn State!

I was there in 94, and had no recollection of that game, had to look it up, and remembered that Illini team had two top 3 players in Simon Rice and Kevin Hardy.

This is a great read on that game. From the pre-game sabotage, to the 0-21 start, to the dramatic finish. Love the different player perspectives.

The thread for the Other School Out West is dissecting defensive stats and rankings of their team vs. Michigan's, overthinking bye weeks and schedules vs. last year, and discussing what is being said here.

Sounds like nervous chatter to me.  Keep up the cool confidence here, boys.

 Never even looked in that thread until you mentioned it. I love the part about us trying to create some sort of rivalry with them and they're not interested, meanwhile, their posters are trolling this thread and they've spent most of the past week worrying about what's being discussed here. Good stuff.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Glad you got the joke.

I love how they can never keep Michigan's name out of their mouths.

I live in Ohio and always have. But I've always been a big Penn State fan and follow them wayyyyy more than Ohio State. I work with a big Ohio State fan and he thinks Penn State is the better team and will win.

He must be a supervisor, because he's pretty smart.
