People also hate noon kicks
announcing him as our next coach.
I thought for sure 3:30. But I guess they changed that November night time rule
State College hotel prices are ridiculous. Forget about football weekends. Even none event weekends cost over $300 per at a Super 8.
Yea, it will be a very small student turnout. A November night game is brutal for fans, but selfishly I’m happy with the 4pm basketball game.
Out of control for sure. travel to all away games and experience nothing like it. Typing this from Kellogg conf center and hotel in east Lansing, which is their version of Nittany Lion Zion and paid $900 for three nights.
Yep. Was looking to come over for a weekend that basically was very low key. No football, no BJC event, no big educational weekend surrounding a commencement or something like that. Least expensive was like $289. Not paying $600+ to spend a couple of nights in SC.
Interesting hope.
Good point. Smaller student turnout at night than usual when it's a daytime kick, when it already takes a hit.
And then they will all b!tch and moan about ticket allocation not being fair. I lose sympathy for them when they don't show up. Either attend the games, ALL of them, and be on time for kickoff, or shut the hell up.
Plenty of rooms under $300. A good number under $250. 2 night minimum not even required.
Who cares. BTW, Tgar will be there and he sure as heck will not be wearing white. He will be wearing warm. At this point, the white out has been so overdone.
The team gave them an extra 4 weeks.
Penn State is that powerful to dictate TV station coverage?
Fox chose Rutgers-OSU (noon) because (gulp) OSU is No. 1 in the rankings, and they want their "Big Noon" game. CBS picked a #17/#8 matchup of USC @ Oregon for 3:30 - besides, CBS has already had PSU on at least 3 games this season. Neither Nebraska nor Penn State are ranked (Nebby is 7-3 and Penn State is 4-6) but both schools have big fanbases and should garner some decent ratings for NBC. This has absolutely nothing to do with a "PSU marketing money grab" other than the B1G TV contract. This game does have some mild interest in that if Nebraska wins, they could conceivably go 9-3, which would be a great record for them, considering recent years' performance. OTOH, if Penn State wins, they could conceivably go 6-6 and get to a bowl game, which would be quite a feat for them.
