Discuss away!

This is really the best result we could have asked for under the circumstances.

 

[rohrmd9]

Agree. Great landing spot for us.

 

[NewYC]

Discuss away!

Great matchup. Excited for this game. Didn’t want USC or Central Florida. Auburn is only game I maybe would’ve rather seen. But this is great.

 

[Statewise]

Here is the official announcement

 

[nits74]

Not bad at all.

 

[Zone-Blitz]

Now the question, home or away uni’s?

 

[aquapong]

I moved from AZ back to PA in April. Motherf...

I wanted a rematch against Usc or Auburn.

 

[psuro]

Now the question, home or away uni’s?

Camo or no camo?

 

[PennSt8er]

How good is the UW passing game?

 

[PSUoh90]

Let’s make it 7-0 in Fiesta Bowls!

 

[BUFFALO LION]

OSU - USC in Cotton

Great! Now I won't have to waste my time watching all those southern inbreds after December 30. As others have said, about as good as it could get for us.

Screw the SEC and the Selection Committee.

[VaNtyLion]

Love it. Only 3rd meeting b/w PSU and Washington...first since the '83 Aloha Bowl.

Want variety in the bowl destination and opponent for PSU. All things considered, it's a great situation for the program.

Agree. This is a good scenario for PSU.

 

[HazletonLion]

First Fiesta since 96, wow!

 

[BoChops]

It's okay. Really wanted a PSU vs UM matchup in the Orange Bowl.

 

[stf110]

And a nice change from it either being "USC in the Rose, or random South/Central Florida Bowl"

And Bryce Love, over 150 yards against Washington.

I suppose it comes down to the OL and play calling

 

[jppsu1]

Hope we can run a little!!!

Like our draw, and actually like all the matchups. OSU/SC and Wisky/UM are good matchups as well.

 

[Madsol]

Ugghh. Like the matchup with UW but was hoping for Cotton. We have tix to see Les Mis in DC on December 30 at 2:00.

CUE. THE. OUTRAGE.

Les Miles in concert?

Good bowl against a good opponent. The only negative is that we're playing a lower ranked team that we can't beat and pass in the final standings. PSU finishes 7th or 8th with a win, 11th or 12th with a loss.

 

[HughHalligan]

Hope we can run a little!!!

I hope Trace throws for 500

 

[Thus Spoke Mainer]

Now the question, home or away uni’s?

It was a semi-final last year and OSU wore their away whites. So anything is possible.

BTW, breakout Joe's whale pants from the last time we played UW

Get your priorities straight young man!

 

[psuro]

Round trip flights from PHL - PHX look to be about $650-$700. I could burn 60K FF miles and then it's not so bad.

Hmmmm......and it's over the weekend.....

It is listed as Washington vs. Penn State on the Wikipedia write up for the bowl, so that points toward PSU being "home".

 

[NedFromYork]

Higher rank = Home team I think.

 

[PennSt8er]

Watch this then watch the game.

 

[2PBC22]

Good matchup for us. I also like the other NY6 B1G matchups. Could very well see the B1G go 3-0.

 

[wbcincy]

The "who should've been in the playoff last year" bowl

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Unless Wisconsin install jet packs on their defensive secondary, Miami receivers are going to be running away from them all night long. Speed will kill the Badgers again unless their front four can get at the U quarterback before he passes.

 

[ChiTownLion]

Now the question, home or away uni’s?

PSU is the higher ranked team so they will be wearing blue.

Also, looks like Washington will be breaking in a new playcaller of their own.

Does anyone know what time this game will be?
