This is the week that most true college football fans wait for all season. Fans of all schools have that one team that they truly enjoy beating. some examples are...
- Mississippi State - Ole Miss
- Baylor - Texas
- Arizona State - Arizona
- North Carolina State - North Carolina
- Florida - Florida State
- Georgia Tech - Georgia
- South Carolina - Clemson
- Louisville - Kentucky
- Auburn - Alabama
- Oregon - Oregon State
- Nevada - UNLV
- Tennessee - Vanderbilt
- Kansas State - Kansas
- Washington - Washington State
- Virginia - Virginia Tech
- USC - Notre Dame
- Michigan State - Penn State
- Pitt - Miami, Fla.
Yep, I went through all of that to point out that yet again, those arrogant douche bags in state college have ruined one of the best rivalries in the history of college football. Growing up, this was the week that every Pennsylvanian football looked forward to, the annual Pitt - penn state football game. The game could have been played on Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, it wouldn't have mattered because the game would have been sold out weeks in advance. Neither school would have had to lie about the attendance at the game because it would have been SRO regardless of the teams record or location of the game.
This year we are again forced to pretend that the Pitt - Miami game and the Michigan State - penn state football games are something special. THEY ARE NOT.
The leadership at both Pitt and penn state need to get off their rear ends and make this game ASAP. Stop with the silly excuses about not having enough open dates, not having a "NEED" to play the other school, etc... .
Heather Lyke and her penn state counterpart need to make it happen.
