Trivia question. When was the last time Penn State Football wasn’t televised?
Wouldn’t that mean it was televised?
The answer I came up with was Kent State in 2003. That’s later than I’d I’ve guessed. I wasn’t around for that season. The Army sent me to Iraq for a year.
I am pretty sure that I was working at McLanahan's the night the game was played. They had the game on the tv there. I remember looking up and seeing Ki-Jana running for a long touchdown.

Usually updated on Tuesday, sometimes Wednesday. I find it to be a handy reference.

I remember sitting with friends while they were listening to a PSU-NCSU game, probably 1976. Those NCSU games were never easy.
I have a vivid memory of watching it on TV in my apartment in State College as well. Then again........
EDIT
It was televised locally.

I was at the Oklahoma-Syracuse game that night. I remember seeing PSU-Minnesota highlights on a TV on the concourse. Crushing loss for Syracuse (they tied it up late with a TD, but got a 15 yard celebration penalty on the TD, and Oklahoma came down and kicked a FG to win). Only time I've been in the Dome since was our game there in 2008 (that was a fun one).
That's a reasonable question. There was a time when bars had feeds consumers couldn't get. Watched a Pitt game at a bar about a mile from my house. Had to call them in advance to see if they would dedicate a TV to the game.
I believe it was more that bars had an out-of-town feed that someone may not have gotten in their home market. It's not like a bar had access to a game that wasn't televised anywhere...someone was doing the production and televising the game.
Well, once upon a time, there were sometimes games that had extremely limited feeds that could only be accessed via expensive PPV. IIRC our first ever Big Ten game against Minnesota was like this - there was a "feed" but it was basically just the same camera they set up for game film not a proper production and the audio was I think just the radio feed. And so it was basically just bars that carried it as I don't think it was even marketed to individuals. I don't think it was even marketed to bars, more just that they could access it if they really went out of their way to do so. So it was largely just places that had "official watch parties" with alumni groups.
There also were games that were produced by ESPN Plus (nothing to do with the current ESPN+ streaming service) which were syndicated in the area local to the team but also had a PPV available called ESPN Gameplan that you could buy if you were out of the area. [There was also a basketball version of this package called ESPN Full Court] I think you could purchase just a single game package or do a season long one.

I worked at a bar and watched the ‘97 Temple game…they somehow picked up the college feed, so there were no announcers and no commercials, just one camera filming the game. Interesting way to watch a game.
This was not the case for the Minnesota game, at least in the Johnstoona College area. It was on WTAJ with Paul Alexander and Jim Gregory providing play by play and commentary.
