tosu favored by 4.5 at Happy Valley. Understandable but unusual.
Thank Heaven for the NOON kickoff. Both fan bases have Neanderthal subsegments. A full day of drinking could lead to violence.

We need PSU to win here. I hate to say it.eliminate osu From conf championship.
They can’t be ahead of us with 2 losses and not making it to title game
And psu beating them soundly is better.

PSU's QB is a game-time decision.
(no message)Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

NEPA is God's country.
A good chunk of my family tree (that wasn't killed by the Nazi's on the old world) are buried in Tunkhannock, on the banks of the mighty Susquehanna.

Not originally from NEPA - (got transplanted here via marriage 35+ yrs. ago). Not in the same
category of these yokels. And yes, there students and alumni act like Appalachian hillbillies at their home games. Hasten to say, I've witnessed such a-holes many times over the years!

I am also from NEPA. Psu students are delusional. They think they go to a great school.
For some stupid reason everyone thinks going to PSU is a great university. Those of us that went to ND know what a great school is.
I guess most people love their state school. Self pride kinda thing I guess. But some of us aimed a little higher

PSU has some very strong programs. I tend to give them less credit than they deserve.
Perhaps my distaste for the school affects my impression.

Ty sir. Someday I may get there. PSU draws my ire. I need to work on that.
I have friends and in-laws that went to PSU.
From a small kid I disliked PSU football. Not sure why really other than u saw it as either ND or Penn st. I think my dad would be ok with PSU if they weren’t playing ND but I wasn’t inclined

Great achievements, congratulations. I have a great friend who is a Penn State grad and he was
in a start up .com company and got bought out for about 7 million. One of the smartest guys I know, of Indian descent whose marriage was arranged and his wife is a doctor and gorgeous. Real doctor. He is a conservative and though he doesn't like Trump he is voting for him, like last time. His smarts and logic are way above mine. I have had many great conversations with him, one being that the Indian culture almost demands one become either a doctor, again real doctor, or engineer. The other was I asked him when he really fell in love with his wife to be and it was about a year and a half. When about 5 of us go out to a restaurant he pays for us and leaves the waitress a $500 tip every time.
I do agree though, there are a lot of "jock" courses and degrees there and a number of "nonstudent athletes". He agrees with this.

Thank you. Just trying to make a point that all PA folks are not "hillbillies". I am a grad of the
USCG Academy. Wife is a grad of Bloomsburg U. Younger daughter is a grad of Moravian College. My cousin is a grad of Notre Dame and a former player (one of my best friends) though he be from Jersey... His family got "transplanted" years back. Have been to several Penn State games over the years and never witnessed any wild or savage behavior. Through my cousin I met Franco Harris at a pre game tailgate up there..

The savage behavior was saved for the children of Happy Valley.
Never forget.
He knew.

If your cousin is Ned Bolcar, he was one of my favorite Irish players. He never missed a tackle.
I remember his interception return for a TD against the hated hurricanes in 1989 in a game we blew. I truly believe that team was better than our championship team of 1988. He would have been a great pro, drafted by Shula, had he not gotten injured.
