Generations of greatness plans for Indiana game

[Nitwit]

Apparently there is a lot more to this event at the Indiana game then just the football uniform changes. The cheerleaders will also be wearing their old fashioned outfits, the video scoreboard will somehow look like flip charts, and the blue band and even the dreaded recorded music played during the game will feature music from the 50s, 60s, 70s. And the running water in the restrooms will be cold with no hot water available (oh wait, that's from 2017). Well it will be different anyway. All I really care to see is a win over the Hoosiers.

And the running water in the restrooms will be cold with no hot water available (oh wait, that's from 2017).

I also heard that the concourses will be narrowed so as to cause massive gridlock at halftime just like the good old days. Wait, that's 2017 too...

 

[FightOnState]

and even the dreaded recorded music played during the game will feature music from the 50s, 60s, 70s.

So they can still fit Sweet Caroline into the rotation? Awesome!

 

[Nitwit]

Apparently a number of players from the old days will also be on hand as honorary captains. That's something I'll enjoy watching.

 

[Navion N8865H]

There is also going to be a ceremony honoring Fran Fisher, including his sons being part of the coin flip.

I plan to lose twenty pounds by Saturday.

Old time scroll for the Big Ten Network to make it look like the ABC fonts used in the early 70's, where they just had a number and the player name after a play. Also, player intros before the game.

 

[BisbeeMike]

You would see a play, and then the replay, and just that crooked white font: "26-Saquon Barkley". That's it.

 

[58psu77]

Take mic from PA guy or at least stop his penchant for doing play by play.

[dwiz]

No, sorry, thats a bridge too far. NG face masks cause knee injuries.

 

[bwifan]

Most Important... Gates won't open at 7am as back then there were no gates

 

[loosey goosey]

[Phil's Rug]

Free chicken cosmos to everybody through the gate

 

[yeahtoasty]

For those on Facebook, the Penn State Football account has posted a short video of the field transformation. Hello, diamonds in the end zone...

 

[kgilbert78]

and

"Heeeyyyy Hot Dog!"

 

[Nitwit]

I imagine the videos they play might feature a lot of Joepa. That will be interesting to see what they do.

Somehow, I doubt it. But we shall see.

It will probably be "a focus on the players"....

 

[EPC FAN]

Take mic from PA guy or at least stop his penchant for doing play by play.

Do what should have been done to him a long time ago. Punch him square in the teeth.

 

[Bricktowner]

I say Nittany, you say Lions! NITTANY! LIONS!
I say JoePa, you say Terno! JOEPA! TERNO!
I say James, you say Franklin! JAMES! FRANKLIN!

Luv the hot water comment!

 

[rudedude]

Cheer from the 70’s: Interception, contraception, stop that ball”!

 

[rudedude]

A running track will be placed around the perimeter of the field and you will be able to walk around the stadium. South upper endzone seats torn down so you can see Mt NITTANY again!

 

[JoeLion]

Will the trough urinals be back?

 

[phillybillyreprise]

No, sorry, thats a bridge too far. NG face masks cause knee injuries.

Leather helmets

"Short yell State: STATE"

N I DOUBLE T A N Y: Nittany!
Nittany! Nittany!

Ashes to ashes,
Dust to dust
You can beat every body

Go bananas, go go bananas
Go bananas, go go bananas
First you lean to left then you lean to the right
Then you peel your banana and you ... uhhh ... take a bite

Some cheers are difficult to forget from those student days in the early/mid 80s!

 

[BTMurphy]

Will the trough urinals be back?

Now there's a memory. Standing at the end of the trough in elementary school seeing who could pee clear across! ("big stem" wasn't allowed to compete).

 

[nits74]

Somehow, I doubt it. But we shall see.

It will probably be "a focus on the players"....

Ever notice on ABC or ESPN when they show old highlights of Penn State games (e.g. 1982 Georgia game) and Joe's face shows up, how quickly the replay is cut? No way Barron and Company are going to allow any reference to Joe. Remember, he had very little to do with Penn State's past success or tradition. That primarily is attributable to Bill O'Brien, or so we've been told.

 

[PS4814]

Bring back the yellow goal line too!

 

[rudedude]

Will the trough urinals be back?

They never left!!

 

[Achowalogan]

We want a Pa..terno...ver

Suppress them, suppress them, make them relinquish the ball....

 

[Nitwit]

Will the trough urinals be back?

They never left - at least the men's room I utilize in the north end zone. I want to get one for my powder room, but my wife won't approve.
