Official PSU - Idaho Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I have a lot going on today, so I have to set up the game thread well in advance.

Please use this thread for pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussions. If replying to somebody's post, please use the quote function.

We Are ...

- so glad the season is finally here
- looking forward to seeing the new starters
- curious to see how much of a test Idaho will be
- hopeful that the returning starters will have taken steps forward with their game
- wondering what times the lots open.
- glad we're not testing out the new traffic patters. ;(

.... Penn State!!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

this thread will likely move down the board during the afternoon. I'm hopeful that several of you will bump it up as game time approaches.

 

[RTRMR]

Was anyone NOT on the team plane?

[SLUPSU]

FIRE FRANKLIN..... sorry, too early?

 

[Thomas1945]

I love it. Before this thread ends we’ll have informed observations, unbridled optimism, unrealistic expectations, agony, frustration, unwanted criticism and less than sober reflection. It’s all just part of life as a PSU fan.

"Bench all the players.' on every bad play'
'Fire all the coaches.' on every 50-50 call
"fire all the refs' on every play
"The 150 patches must go!"
------------------------------------------
It's all been said so let's try something new. Let's watch the whole game and comment when it is over.

Dreamer.

I can't believe it's still tied!!! Fire Rahne and Franklin!

 

[RU31trap]

Best of luck to the Nittany Lions!

How’s the new parking process going for those who got to the lots?

 

[Connorpozlee]

Are they going to honor JoePa at this game?

 

[PSU_522]

Are they going to honor JoePa at this game?

I’m going to say no, but I’m also willing to bet they don’t return all the money Joe donated to the University.

 

[psuro]

I can't believe we have not put this team away

Fire Franklin. Fire Rahne. Fire the entire team.

Just wait until next year's recruiting class gets here - then things will really improve.

Pull his scholarship.

If we let this team stick around, they will think they can win.

I wish Emmert had given us the death penalty, so we can avoid this embarrassment.

This team sucks. The season is lost.

There is Sandy on the field to collect her check. Again.

I can't believe the University charges this much for a ticket for a game against Idaho.

The parking situation has gone from bad to worse.

It took me two hours to get out of the lot.

We need someone to play fullback.

 

[BobPSU92]

Are we just lucky to be playing football?

 

[PSU_522]

How long until the first, oh well this is what we should expect coming off sanctions post?

Death Penalty

 

[PSU_522]

After seeing us dismantle the spuds 65 - 10 Derek Wingo flips back to PSU.

On the BTN pre-game show they wouldn’t even mention him by name. They simply referred to PSU as having the winningest coach in D1 history.

Wow - you're in mid-season form already. You must have practiced hard during the summer to stay in mental shape.

That’s hilarious.

How many plays before someone is bitching about the refs?

 

[Woodpecker]

Translation: drunk already

 

[Connorpozlee]

I’ll say it happens on the coin toss.
Just got back from my daughter’s high school soccer game. Parents were bitching at the ref all game. Embarrassing. It almost gets to the point where I root against my daughter’s own team.

Yes to all of those. Esp. interested in Culpepper. Really good genes. Expecting a lot from him and hoping it starts today.

Girls sports are infamous for that. Watching a girls softball game is just about as bad.

Funniest look in sports is the SEC Softball Girls Players......most/all look like they have never wore a bow in their hair in their life.....but come playoff time there they are the white bows in the hair for the Alabama, GA, MS State Girls.........

Anyone know if there will be a chat session for the game?

I. Am. Not. Drunk.

I am pleasantly inebriated.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

If I am coaching Idaho I try an on sides kick first chance I get.

Three things I want to see from PSU-

1. Good OL play. Anything else and we have worries, beginning next week.

2. The two frosh RBs. How much will they be involved in the offense?

3. Will special teams be improved? After the OL probably my #2 concern for the season.

 

[paws1957]

So who do we get as announcers today? Hopefully better than the two doing the Illinois-Akron game!

If history is an indicator, Penn State won’t be ready for the onsides kick.
