He’d really hate shitholes like Paris and London I bet. tOo WoKe!
Pinstripe’s been confirmed. UPDATE: vs. Clemson *

- Start date
bowl.
They both were once nice, now they're shift holes.
The fascinating storyline here are two teams in the playoff last year who came into this season with extremely high expectations; neither reached those expectations. Klubnik and Allar came in together ranked at the top of the QB rankings, so it's too bad they will not have a chance to face off against each other.
Other than the CFP, the majority are “Backup Bowls”. They should have a tournament…
An NIT like playoff would be better but guys still are going opt out
Would be a great game if both teams were at full strength.
Yankee Stadium in late December? They’ll close the roof for this one, right?
We will have most of our best players opt out. We will not have any running backs with playing experience. Our best offensive linemen will opt out. Our 2 best defensive linemen will opt out. Our best DBs will opt out. The only way this will be a decent game is if most of the best Clemson players opt out too. If so, then it will become like a JV game.
That's not really fair to Terey--a lot of these guys should be opting out--Allen, Singleton, etc.
I recall Saquon Barkey not opting out of the Fiesta Bowl. IIRC, he only played in the first half but still, he didn't want to totally bail on his team. The eventual overall #2 draft pick playing in a bowl game. You have to admire that. This year we'll have some guys who may not even get drafted decide to sit out.
Bowl season should just be considered preseason for next year.
Dabo usually gets his kids to play in the bowl game. Hopefully ours don't quit
Maybe Dabo should be less selfish and encourage his players to do what is best for them not what's best for him
That might mean Campbell is bringing with him a large chunk of their coaching staff to State College immediately.
Turn that frown upside down. It's extra football. All non-playoff postseason games are "meaningless" exhibitions. If everyone you list opts out, we get to see players we haven't had the opportunity to see play much. What would you be doing, if not watching this game? Saving the world, one depressing post at a time?
The team had a meeting and claimed that they didn't have enough players to safely prepare for and participate in a bowl game. May or may not be true but in this age of mass portaling the conferences need to amend their penalty assessments.
It's still money that the conference is losing and it hurts their relationship with the bowls for tie ins.
There has to be some penalty...maybe it's just you don't get your share of the bowl money.
Ha!!! The Golden Domers were omitted. 25% of the teams appearing in the CFB playoffs will be without their regular season head coach.

That’s only a quarter of the buyout PSU is paying ISU. So they’re probably like whatever.
You’re most likely correct, but I will still watch the game. This is no longer the same sport I grew up watching, it’s morphed into a business which is why I pray for the NFL to establish a minor football league.
I've attended or watched on TV every Penn State football game since 1966. I will watch this bowl game too. I'm addicted.
