    Superbowl over time question

    Soupy ... I believe that you have the rule interpretation correct. Thinking back, early in the SF drive in OT, Purdy threw a pass that the receiver bobbled and a KC defender nearly caught. Had the KC defender caught the ball, they would have been in field goal range and had they kicked, it...

    Chuck Burkhart

    Minor disagreement here. Chuck Burkhart was replaced by Mike Cooper and Bob Parsons. Neither were effective early in the 1970 season and JoePa made the switch to sophomore John Hufnagel. Remember that freshmen did not participate in those days. Huffy was a pretty darned good quarterback.

    Steelers/Patriots game thread.

    I lost it when they had third and 2 deep in Pat's territory, 4th quarter late, and lined up without a running back. Mike Tomlin, the standard is the standard coach, head on down to the Greyhound station and catch the first bus to anywhere. Can't wait for the next Pittsburgh Dad episode on...

    Happy "48-14" Day

    A magnificent day! AKA the day Pitt football died. When the game ended, there were probably only 20,000 people left in that outhouse on the hill. Most of them wore blue and white. I still remember Dan Marino's whiff on Mark Robinson's interception return. Classic. Also remember after a...

    Half Time adjustments

    My memory says 3 field goals with the last one a chip shot with little time left in the 4th quarter.

    Half Time adjustments

    Maybe he is the illegitimate child of Carson Long. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyone under the age of 65 won't understand the significance of my post.

    Football What is your favorite Penn State game that you've attended?

    48-14 For me personally the run up to that contest was brutal as I had married into a family of Pitt fans. I endured much more than I can relate here. Afterward, the next day, I was driving several of these "fans" to the Steelers game. Before I left the house, our phone rang and it was my...

    OT-Bumbling Buccos

    I have witnessed two of the past four games. The term "rudderless" is appropriate. Saturday night the starter gives up 1 hit in 6 or 7 (I forget) innings. Pitched a great game. No offense to speak of to give this guy a prayer for a victory. This team cannot put 2 or 3 hits together. Replace...

    Anyone else hooked on "Yellowstone"?...

    I can't wait to see the episode where Rip lassos the Chinese balloon.

    Franco Harris has passed…

    Horrible, horrible news. Rest in peace, paisan.

    OT: Leonid and Friends, AWESOME band...

    A couple of corrections ... the band is comprised of Russian musicians except Serge, the lead vocal on I've Been Searching So Long, who is Ukrainian. All are classically trained musicians. They tour in the USA. Last year (2021) they performed in a park in Greensburg and at a club in Warrendale...

    Lady Lion BB

    Watched enough of this game (alternated between UM vs Purdue, UNC vs Clemson and this - eventually settled on womens hoops) to say that there was plenty of blame to go around in the loss. Ladies had a 10 point lead with 9 minutes left - blew the lead with poor movement without the ball and...

    Steelers/Browns Thursday Night Football

    Where to begin? Browns OL manhandled the Steelers D last night. 24 and 27 ran hard and Steelers could not stop them. Always falling forward for extra yard or two. Browns QB was sharp last night. His receivers got open and he rarely missed them. Steelers pretty much stunk on offense. I think...

    How bad are the 2022 Pittsburgh Pirates? Listen to THIS

    Watched last night's game (glutton for punishment). 8th inning. Phillies pitcher struck out the side. Bucco sluggers swung at 1 pitch total in those 3 times at bat O'Neil Cruz looked great being picked off as the extra inning gifted baserunning in the 10th inning. What an outrage! Pitiful.

    What was the greatest single-game performance on defense by a Penn State football player?

    Maybe the hardest hit I ever witnessed.

    Anyone else watch the Lady Lions BB vs Nebraska?

    Thought that I would resurrect this thread after watching the Lady Lions earn a hard fought victory in East Lansing. Obviously, it was a contest against a middle of the pack opponent. It appeared to me (a casual observer who hasn't seen any of their games since this thread was hatched) that...

    Anyone else watch the Lady Lions BB vs Nebraska?

    I watched some of last night's contest against Nebraska. I watched some of the game against Iowa within the last week. My opinion is that Coach K doesn't have enough horses to compete with the upper half of the B1G. The horses she has just can't compensate for the other deficiencies...

    PSU Canceling Season Tickets for Resale?

    Same thing happened to my son who was refused the opportunity to renew season tickets to the Pittsburgh Pirates about 4 or 5 years back. I remember him saying that they considered him to be a broker. He sold maybe half of his dates (on Stubhub).

    Leaving Pitt in tears!

    I slept well last night, real well. Missed the first quarter. What I saw in quarters 2 and 4 was Sparty receivers making plays, making Thorne look good. In between, they dropped a couple easy passes or Thorne threw a poor ball. Each team had a turnover return for a TD. Without their top...
