Game Thread: PSU - Maryland

[Tom McAndrew]

I won't be be able to start a game thread at 11:55, so I'm posting it now. You can hold off replying to this thread until the game starts, or you can post injuries, etc as they are reported pregame.

Last year I was in Baltimore for the PSU - MD game. The weather was much sunnier, and also warmer, than it is for today's game. I had a good vibe about last year's game when the Blue Band surprised me, and started playing as they marched next to Camden Yards. Here's hoping than many of you at the game experience something that gives you a good vibe about today's game.

We Are ...

First!!

Damn. I wanted to be first! But mine is the 1st actual post.

 

[PennSt8er]

Also gonna pause now to take moment to say hi to everyone before we start yelling at our tvs for assorted reasons.

I see your post and raise you

 

[PaoliLion]

I'm sitting at home in - would love to hear updates on whether some of our missing/injured players have suited up. I think Golden, in particular, is critical today

 

[Woodpecker]

Is there a weather update?

If he's important, he's probably in sweat pants. That's how it has gone this year.

Hmmm. I raise your post with Emily Post. Geeze, we better stop. We may both get banned for stupid posts in a game thread.

But there ain't no game to talk about. It's all Tom M's fault for baiting us.

He's probably in sweat pants and inadvertently clipped Saquon and Trace in the knee in pregame warm-ups, injuring both...that's how it's gone this year

Looks more like a pedestal.

If we were banned for stupid posts during a game thread..............we'd all be banned

Is there a weather update?

Just texted two different people up there, and it's not raining anymore. Buddy said it's very dreary, there's no energy at all.

"Hope the team comes out jacked, because the crowd is funneling into the stadium like they're going to church."

ugh... We need this one!

[aquapong]

Those are some terrible uniforms.

 

[green2623]

Wow

 

[ChiTownLion]

Didn't realize Maryland's offense was rated No. 15 and defense No. 10 in CFB.

[Woodpecker]

Nice drive. 21Guns not happy

 

[AWS1022]

Nice drive. 21Guns not happy

Don't worry, there will be postings soon explaining how none of those positive plays were because of Penn State.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

OH NO - O'NEIL!

 

[harbest]

Best drive of the year so far.

 

[bxle]

Schwan song for QB!

 

[PSUAlum91]

Looking good on both sides of the ball here early....

 

[YorkCoLion]

What a great start !

Keep it up!

 

[nitanee123]

I was just able to turn the game on. How did they score?

Nice runs by Barkley and Trace then a pass to Geisecki

 

[RedBankerEngr]

Another slow start!!!! NOT!

 

[dwiz]

I don't think I've ever seen a game thread with no negative posts by 12:13. Then again, I have A LOT of people blocked.

 

[NittanyLion15]

This is an entirely different offense...... It's been one possession, but given our struggles in the first half on offense that was a STATEMENT.

Loved the QB option, and the pitch out to Barkley getting him into the open field. The play action pass on the first play was brilliant. I thought for sure it would be a 3 yard loss trying to run Barkley up the middle.

Love it.

Two sacks on the first defensive possession.... this looks like a different team.

 

[bxle]

SB breaks two tackles

And his crew strikes.

 

[Lion Lineage]

It was a pick/rub and it was completely unnecessary.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Stupid penalty by Godwin.....just run the route, no need to throw a shoulder into the trailing defensive back chasing Gesicki. DUMB!

 

[bkmtnittany1]

bull shit call...unless you are looking for something....5 touched noone till after geseki caught the ball...

 

[m.knox]

And we are off to the races..........

 

[grinagrin]

We are slow on defense
