InTheZone Posted June 5, 2006 Report Posted June 5, 2006 And if you are, what are you expecting. I'll be there. Anyone know when tickets go on sale? Quote
Zipsrifle Posted June 6, 2006 Report Posted June 6, 2006 Unfortunately, I won't be able to make many football games this year as another Zip fan will be arriving mid-season. I'll be monitoring via the internet though....I'll have to upgrade my connection. With any luck, there will be two more "Home" games for me this year in Detroit! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 Looks like we'll have 10-14 making the trip. Quote
Dr Z Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I'll be there.I was discussing the fact that I liked the matchup between Getsy vs an all new Penn State secondary with friends last night.I had to look it up to make sureThe defense will feature a new secondary, responsible for replacing the four seniors from last year's starting defensive backfield. Justin King and Tony Davis are penciled in as the first-team corners, while rising seniors Nolan McCready and Donnie Johnson will play at the safety spots.We made the over/under for Getsy, 265 passing yards in the game and I took the over.

zff Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 I read on the pennstate.theinsiders.com message board that the game will be on ESPN2 @3:30. And the NC State game will be on ESPNU @12noon. I will not be going to Penn State this year but I will be watching. Quote

Of all people Zipsrifle, you are one of the last people I expected this from. Your work in this matter was completed some time ago. No need to miss any games. Quote
msopher Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Some Rocket fans are going with the Jambulance. I might go with 4-5 others. Quote
Dr Z Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Some Rocket fans are going with the Jambulance.Okay, I'll bite, what's a jambulance?My guess is, those gas station attendants painted some old ambulance blue and yellow??? Quote
zipsbandman Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 These Rocket fans are coming to see the Akron/Penn State game to support a fellow MAC? That's pretty cool. Quote
Zips Win! Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I'll be there.Where will everyone be spending the night(s) at? Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Some Rocket fans are going with the Jambulance.Okay, I'll bite, what's a jambulance?My guess is, those gas station attendants painted some old ambulance blue and yellow??? I found those Toledo clowns that wear the gas station attendant uniforms. There must never be enough time to change clothes from the time Sunoco closes until game time? I give them credit for supporting their team. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 I'll be there.Where will everyone be spending the night(s) at? One of these hotels:Click Me for Penn State Hotel ListingThere are a million. I don't have a clue where we'll stay. With rare exception, they mandate a 2-nite stay. Quote
msopher Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Some Rocket fans are going with the Jambulance.Okay, I'll bite, what's a jambulance?My guess is, those gas station attendants painted some old ambulance blue and yellow??? It has nothing to do with the Blue Crew. Some UT alum with some money bought an old ambulance and turned it into a Rocket mobile. I went down to the GMAC bowl in it, and although extremely uncomfortable, the Jambulance got a lot of attention. He is planning on going to games outside of Toledo starting this year and the Akron/PSU game would be a nice start. Quote
GP1 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 I'll be there.Where will everyone be spending the night(s) at? Just a quick word to the wise when going to a PSU game and planning on staying over night. Most (not all) hotels there require a Friday and Saturday night stay for a home PSU game.I would advise waiting to see what the University offers. They are working on some good road trips for this upcoming season. A day trip is also not out of the question if you are going and from NE Ohio.Good luck room hunting. Quote
ZipDad57 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Posted June 10, 2006 Hopefully we'll make the trip, I'm not sure if we'll drive or take the charter from CampusWe're looking to have a fun year. Quote
fear the brown roo Posted June 11, 2006 Report Posted June 11, 2006 hell, penn state is only 3 hours away. it's a lot closer than most away mac games. no need for a hotel but hats off to those who get a room. let's tailgate!! Quote

The campus bar scene the night before a Penn State game is one of the best I've seen...and I've been to a TON of "major" college Friday nights. It is worth the hotel cost for the experience of walking around in your Zips gear and talking some smack and have some nice people buy you beer all night.If you go to Penn State on Friday night....beware the cases of Rolling Rock. That's the best advice I can give. Quote
PSU_Nut Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 You should book you hotel room now if you want to stay in state college. pickings will be slim by now with many hotels already sold out. Quote
