Is this what yinzer college football dreams are made of or what? I just picture two elderly couples watching this on their respective 72-lb box televisions.

Couple 1: Jack Anderson and his lovely wife, Sue.

Upon returning from Eat n' Park, Jack and Sue plan on cracking open a bag of Wise potato chips and splitting an Iron City (Sue likes hers in a glass; Jack will handle what's left in the can). They'll plop down on their white floral couch that sits atop a thick pink carpet and enjoy about a quarter and a half before Jack begins to doze off and Sue eventually turns the channel to Murder, She Wrote. They hope Penn State can get the job done, despite the fact that neither Jack nor Sue can name a player on the team (in their defense, the jerseys lack surnames).

Couple 2: Bill Collins and his plus-one, the lovely Mary Collins.

After putting in his time at the mill, Bill lives a peaceful existence in the heart of Greenfield, along with his lovely wife. Their block is somewhat of a dump, but they don't see it that way because it was nice when they moved in - back in the late 70's. Bill and Mary are devout Catholics, and Bill has an Irish heritage - which is why they're "Notre Domm" fans. Despite the reddish hue in his face as a result of a rich drinking history, Bill has a leaky bowel that is exacerbated by alcohol, so he now sticks to homemade iced tea. Mary invited the younger couple next door over for the game, but they declined the invitation, citing the need to get up early Friday morning for work. The real reason they're not going is because the Collins' residence bears an extremely thick soapy smell that TKOs you the moment you step inside.
 
And they're all losing their minds and screaming at the TV "stop that jive dancin!" anytime a player gets excited after making a catch or tackle.

This was hilarious. Just add the cross and picture of jfk next to the pope on wood panel walls and you have it down perfect.
 
has anyone ever "Split" a beer with their significant other? i have no idea why but The thought of that absolutely infuriates me..

your wife not finishing her beer and giving it to you doesnt count. Im talking about a couple opening up a beer can or bottle with the full intention of sharing it. I say this with all sincerity, if anyone reading this has ever done this, i absolutely HATE you.

Bill and Mary have a giant cross in their game room - forgot to mention that. It was even blessed by the bishop!

Bill is dropping Mary off at the mall on Saturday, where he will wait on the bench, next to a few other unlucky guys, while she makes her rounds at Boscov's, etc. Wonder if he'll have a Notre Dame national championship opportunity on the mind. I hope so, but I'm kind of leaning Penn State (albeit not enough to bet on it).

I imagine that as part of this story, Jack is wearing out of date Champion sweatshirt with a caricature likeness of Paterno and the mascot and Bill has ND starter jacket that he only wears for more formal occasions like his granddaughter's christening. Oh, and neither believe that the allegations against their coach or their priest were true.
 
but wasn't he like a boxing mope?

Dude supposedly took a beating in practice
The story goes something like, Rudy was just a total a-hole. Would go full speed even in walkthroughs and guys would get pissed at him. Most of the story is made up and things like the players giving up their jerseys for him never happened. I think Joe Montana basically said the only thing that was accurate was that they did carry him off the field but just as a joke. Apparently this guy knew people and just harassed them to get that movie made.

Does splitting a sandwich count towards the hate profile?
Asking for a friend.

Yes. And also Central Catholic students. Huge day in Oakland today. PCC is abuzz. This is like Yankees/Mets in NY and NJ or Duke/UNC in the Research Triangle. 2 hour delay tomorrow since all the PCC kids will be up late watching.

Can we expect to see any WPIAL contributions tonight? I did see Hinish finish (rhyme not intended) the game off with a sack last week, but they mentioned him being in there because a few d-linemen were hurt and he looked smaller than Rudy for being a Notre Dame d-lineman.

I've seen Dinkins catch a pass or two this season, and I think I see Robinson from the city league make a play. Not sure who else plays for either team.

The WPIAL kids never get in for PSU. I mean this when I say the WPIAL kids dont like football that much. They just like to say they are part of the Penn State team.

Well they fit in well with the fans who don't like it that much either, as evidenced by a 20% no-show debacle for the first ever playoff game they've hosted.

This is why I keep coming back to Panther Lair!

How in all that is holy is Hinish playing so much? I know their starter is out, but this is the best they can come up with as a reserve? As you said he is small, and for a small guy not so much of a non-stop motor. Getting moved around pretty easily.

And also, ND, the cradle of all college football, can only come up with Riley Leonard as their starting QB? If Minchey can't beat him out, then I don't think we missed out on much.
 
ND looking slow on D especially compared with how they played vs UGA…but also tentative on offense. Not good. They need to pick up intensity on both sides of the ball.

Get 7 on this drive ND.

They are getting abused up front on both sides. There’s no antidote for that. They’re done
 
This reminds me of those 80s Orange and Fiesta Bowls with the eastern independents. Low-scoring, run-heavy, physical football… I don’t like the teams, but I am loving this game.
