1st play- 80 yard post to bowser.2nd play- PAT

Zach, I found the article to be extremely respectful. Coach Harris showed a lot of class in how he characterized his interaction with JoePa. I will post the link on the PSU football board at CBSSports as soon as I can -- you can check fan reaction there.BTW, one major reason why Penn State wanted a 2 and 1 with Pitt starting in 2001 was Pitt's inability to fill Heinz Field, which is -- what? -- capacity of 56,000 or something like that. Penn State had (I think) just expanded Beaver Stadium again, and our capacity was almost double that of Heinz. As you can imagine, Penn State football supports a lot of other non-revenue sports, so playing at an unfilled Heinz Field was not cost-effective. Shame to kill a rivalry over $$, but that's the way of the world . . . . (FYI: A home game for Penn State garners almost $4M in revenue.)And, last I heard, Pitt was forcing people to buy tix to three games just to get access to one marquee game. That's like a car dealer telling me I HAVE to purchase the 8-track player and cassette deck in order to get Sirius radio. I don't think so . . . . Just a few more days!!!You're out of your mind if you think Heinz Field wouldn't sell out for a Pitt-PSU game. Not only would it be the hottest ticket in town, even if Pitt fans didn't sell it out, there would be many PSU fans, a lot who live in Western PA, would would snatch up tickets in no time. The rivalry was killed when Pitt turned down Joe Pa's offer to join the All-East (could be wrong on the conference name) to join the Big East in all sports. He's still bitter to this day about it, and quite frankly, the teams won't meet again until he's done.

Exactly= the watch party is at Beaver Stadium!!!see you guys on the 50 in the blue and white club! which we will of course turn into the blue and gold club.

Right you are, Zach!Any updates on your team? I haven't heard much out of the ordinary from Happy Valley. Joe making his usual gloom-and-doom announcements. They don't get tiresome to us old-timers; oddly enough, they are mildly reassuring . . . I've applied on a new position at work. So far, I've had two telephone interviews and five face-to-face interviews. I have one more sit-down interview this Wednesday; if I make the cut, I will meet with the department heads and clinic chair. The folks doing the interviewing remind me of you Zips fans: Very thorough, very enthusiastic, very knowledgeable. Hope I am as successful in the continued interviews as my Lions are going to be against the Zips. I hope you're a little more successful than your nittany lions

and then, we can have a guy named zipbuck go on OSU's boards and stick up for the Zips everytime they are made fun of. brilliant!

ah i see what you mean.i was going to get the whole topic on the next page

200x50=$10,000 d'oh. i'm an accounting major too. don't let jupitertoo see this.

maybe, just maybe, it cost money to set this thing up? and the 50 dollars will go towards setting it up? could that be? they'll be lucky to get around 200 people I would say. 1000 bucks isn't a very big 'fundraiser.' and considering the fact that the people that will actually show up probably donate much more than 50 dollars to the University, I doubt that this is a fundraiser. I think it's a nice classy event, be happy you get to experience the place before others. and be thankful the University is finally acting like it gives a damn about the fans.

http://www.gozips.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_...TCLID=204779191FSN will run a 30 minute show on the stadium- 10 times! seems like a good idea. Also mentions UA will have a tour of the stadium next saturday. players will be there to sign autographs, and concessions will be open.6,000 season tickets sold so far...

Played baseball against Astorino. He was the top basketball player at McLane, top football player, and a hell of a baseball player. no surprise he went D-1 anywhere.

got 6 tickets in the blue and white club on the fifty. i have connections but it will soon be the blue and gold club

I think a better idea is just letting the first 5500 in. but the ticket policy should work just fine.

eh the ticket policy works just fine for the Can't bball game. that doesn't scare anyone away. be thankful, most other schools with a stadium like this probably charge you 200 bucks for your season tickets.

The creamery is way overrated imo. RU Hungry, however, is not.

Give it up dude, no one's replied to this thread in a week. you beat it to death, and you're still going.

Lafrance caught 3 passes in today's scrimmage. so cross one off that list.

Good catch. Well done....haha I mean no offense, but you all look pretty stupid calling it the forward.

more importantly, who reads the foreword?

maybe I'm missing something but aren't they suppose to be contenders for the national title? I haven't been following this all as closely as I should so I would love to find out that I"m wrong if someone wants to prove me wrong I would be more than happy to listen and believe themDon't believe the hype. Akron's greatest strengths are matched up with PSU's biggest weaknesses.yeah we'll just overlook the fact that PSU's greatest strength (running the ball) matches up with our greatest weakness (stopping the run).

au contraire. we have losing records against 3 teams in the past 5 years. not as bad.

What are the chances Cuse actually comes next year. Two for ones should go 1-1-1.

he called me a retard first lol

yeah because I'm not in Honors or anything thanks for getting personal though, I appreciate it. I'll also wager 100$ I got a higher ACT score than you.

did we patent the word 'roo?' geez..

Prices aren't bad. That's the price to feed an entire suite, or like 15 people..
