PSU Game

I don't think you're following. PSU is going to be undefeated going in to the Michigan weekend. Michigan and Ohio State are the two best teams on the schedule and are in conference. Am I not making sense?



Oh! Thought you were talking rival like game! You're talking big important game. Gotcha.
 
Dave, you understand you’re dealing with evolution here, from walking on all fours to standing up right.

You can’t come to this board and have a genuine conversation with the majority of these posters. “Old Tired Lion” was sincerely explaining the succession of playing at Pitt to Beaver stadium. They attacked him. So goes civility on the Lair.

Pitt Monkey bites lab technician
Victim questions safety measures, says career's in doubt


"Trish" shows her injured hand.
An 18-pound U of Pitt monkey bit and then mauled the hand of a University of Pittsburgh laboratory technician last week, prompting accusations from the victim and her co-worker that the facility lacks sufficient safety measures.


A Penn Stater lecturing on Internet civility is like Ron Jeremy lecturing on abstinence. BWI is the worst cesspool of any team board on the entire Rivals network. Threads over calling Sara Ganim a slut,a whore or that she slept around to get the information,that won her a Pulitzer are standard over there. The same misogynism is standard over on BWI toward any woman who dares speaks ill of Dear Leader Paterno.
 
I have no doubt that the game could be played annually if Pitt would go for a 3 - 1 or even a 2 - 1 series until the disparity between home game hosting became even. I'm sure you know that for many years Pitt hosted all the games, refusing to travel to Happy Valley. :)

More like Joe wanted the games in Pittsburgh because Pitt Stadium was the bigger of the two facilities at that time and money matters above all. But keep reaching, just not in the way Jerry did.

Guns, before I was able to buy season tickets in 1999, the NLC requirements were a minimum of 80 points was needed to apply for season tickets. Has this requirement been eliminated? The NLC awarded me 20 points for life AA member & 10 additional points for other associations to Penn State.
Curious, do you also get points for registering under Megan's Law?
Sounds prudent.

Verifying with Guns that there are no minimum point amounts required to purchase season tickets through the NLC. I wouldn’t want anyone that is seriously considering season tickets receive an additional charge of $50 per point from the NCL to fulfill a minimum requirement.

Points are more about your place in line. I don't recall there being a "minimum" number of points but you might as well say there is because of how STEP works.
 
Just curious - why are you here? Honestly? Why would you care what Pitt fans have to say abut PSU?

I rarely post on this board. But on occasion I feel the strange need to correct some of it's more uninhibited posters from their venomous lies and hateful rants. In the above case, the poster asks a valid question about the series being played every year. The simple truth is PSU football funds the entire athletic department and the more homes games scheduled, the easier that task is accomplished.

What "venomous lies and hateful rants" are you referring to exactly?

Anyone not giving their school, program, scumbag old head coach, scumbag current head coach, the town of State College, THON, or anything else associated with those people a complete and total tongue bath is considered venomous or hateful.

You understand that season ticket selling policies change when you go from a time where your games routinely sell out to when they routinely have 20,000 empty seats, right?
 
You mean the skip a row tactic?


From the content of some of the nit wits posting on here I will bet they chose the blow up doll tactic.

There has been only two years were there was point requirement since the last expansion in 2001. Those were the only two years they sold out season tickets.

There was never such a tactic. I hope your not dumb enough to believe that. The no denying there been plenty of empty seats and tickets available though.

Interesting! That didn't seem to be what I witnessed last year from your PSU crew. OSU and Michigan are big for sure but sadly for PSU OSU and Michigan look down there noses at Penn St. So you may view your games with OSU and Michigan as a ridiculously big game but they don't look at Penn St any differently than when they play Michigan St, Wisky or Iowa.

"Once the PSU-Pitt rivalry died, the only thing Pitt really ever had to look forward to is being a hurdle in the way of Miami, Virginia Tech or Syracuse winning the Big East. College football just isn’t a big deal in the Steel City — and still isn’t to this day. It’s as though the Big East and ACC have let Pitt hang around simply because of the city that serves as the home to the university, almost as a way to brag about having a conference member in a metro that size." ;)

Keep up with the conversation. I never said Pitt didn't need PSU. I never said Pitt doesn't look at PSU as a rival. I was mocking the PSU cultist perspective on the issue. OSU and Michigan do not view PSU as a rival. Just another big game in the Big Ten. PSU cultist on the other hand flooded our site, just like you, and ran around talking about all the Pitt season tix they bought just to see one game(rival). Yep sounds like Pitt doesn't mean jack to the cultist LOL. Keep up!
 
It not just Penn State who plays 7 home games. Pitt more often than not plays 7 home games. Almost very P5 school tries to play 7 home games each year. I guarantee you if Pitt was making $6 million a year they would play 7 every year. When you don't make much off of home games like Pitt it easy to take the one year hit. Also Penn State unlike Pitt athletic department is self sufficient. They don't have the university paying millions to balance the athletic department budget. Would it be more responsible to play Pitt and then have the university cover the lost revenue?

You do realize Penn State and Pitt played the same number of P5 schools last year and will again next year?
Our "extra" P5 game is Oklahoma State. Yours is a 9th B1G team.... a Purdue, Illinois, Indiana, etc. Not anywhere near equivalent.

After the most disgusting scandal in the history of higher education, the systematic coverup of child rape, and the enabling actions of the burning in hell former HC, the B1G and NCAA allows to let Ped State hang around simply because..............wow, no good reason to put here.

Your obsessive posting on a Pitt board is duly noted. Perhaps you are thrilled to be in the company of fans who never had to rationalize child rape, or who attended a University that never had three high ranking officials, including the chancellor on trial for enabling and covering up child rape on their campus.

Stick around as long as you like, but when the stench that emanates from being a cult member becomes overwhelming, you'll have to leave.

Reasonable response, but the whole" home game disparity" going back 50-60? years ago is a bit ridiculous. But you already know that. Our former AD may have been very unpopular, but one thing he did right was to tell the PSU AD to take their 2 for 1 idea and well, shove it. Pitt has never NEEDED PSU, we're doing just fine in the ACC.

This series played annually makes sense to everyone outside of Happy Valley and your AD who said PSU doesn't need any rivals, but hey, have it at with the Sacred Hearts of the world on your OOC. We'll be just fine.

I can not wait to beat you again in September.

It is funny that their fans say we should not count all of our older national championships, but now we have to count all the games held in Pittsburgh in the series? A little hypocritical, don't you think?

Hail to Pitt!

Dave

I remember when I was 10 years old and my grandpappy told me that Patrudo was a lying sack of concrete and would tell dim witted people whatever they wanted to hear!
 
stepson.eng69 - Are you hanging on the PITT board because PITT is located in large metro area?

Na, hate to travel in large cities, I’m just a backwoods fellow. I live in a secluded, wooded area on top of a mountain in Lehman Twp. Elevation 1350. The company has an office for me in Wilkes-Barre to perform their structural work. The majority of the work I deal with is in the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding area, so I am often in Philly and Wilmington, DE.

It’s a good deal; I receive the economic benefits of being paid for the higher cost index of the cities and live in relatively, lower cost area free from the hardships of daily living in the larger cities. NYC & Philly are a couple hours drive. Our granddaughter who now resides in Alabama performed at Carnegie Hall last fall and will again this year.

Yes, at Pitt, a tech can be bitten by a monkey in a lab. Major medical research is conducted at Pitt, you know like curing polio and stuff like that.

By contrast, a real proven danger at PedState is for a child to be raped by a football coach in a shower.

The difference is at Pitt, the offending monkey was removed. At PedState, the offending coach was granted emeritus status, and his deeds were covered up by the head coach, the AD, the chief of the campus police, and the chancellor!

Was that an attempt at trolling? Or was it an actually an attempt to somehow equate an isolated, 9-year old primate lab incident with the systematic decades-long coverup of serial child rape and the continuing worship of a primary actor by a fan base more concerned with sports records than rectifying the insidious conditions that enabled the sacrifice of basic human morality on the alter of an unchecked misplacement of institutional priorities?

Probably should ask the Nitter.
I called him out on it, as it truly disgusted me. How this cultist is allowed to spew his garbage on this site is beyond me.
 
I think I can offer a little personal knowledge and reflection on the decades of PSU traveling to Pitt virtually every year. In the early 50s my family lived next door to Rip Engle the long time PSUcoach immediately before Joe. My father was a Dean at PSU and very active in the athletic program and as a boy of about 10 I distinctly remember overhearing a conversation between Dad and Rip with Rip griping about always having to play at Pitt every year. He said it was because Pitt would not come to State College and if PSC wanted to play PITT it had to travel to Pittsburgh every year. Pitt had the muscle; it had nothing to do with State wanting to split the gate. Everything changed when Joe took over and PSU became the dominant program, and no longer needed Pitt so the games became a home and home.

As an old timer I love the rivalry being back, and hope it continues. In the 70's I worked in Pittsburgh and the games were great with good sportsmanship on both sides. Unfortunately, the anonymity of the internet allows the crazies on both sides to post comments they would never state on a face to face basis.
Well Joe said in one of his books that he wanted the game in Pittsburgh because it was much better exposure and they could make more money having it there back then.
 
I have enough points to get seats through Pitt for the game, but did not request them. Requested tickets for GT, VT, and Duke though.

Yeah, but he's dead now so it's easy to pretend he thought any ol' thing you want to pretend that he thought.
 
At some point, the rest of college football will tire of the Big Ten and it;s continued belief they are the conference that all want to emulate. OSU is a big time program and always is. Michigan is vastly over rated. PSU with two big Ten championships in 1994 and 2016 show the program has been mostly average since joining the Big Ten. Pitt never claims to be a football power. But no question JoePA ran a program that was unaccountable to anyone. A completely fraudulent football program is not something any person of conscience can take pride in.

Penn State has 4 Big Ten Chamiopnships. 1994, 2005, 2008 and 2016.
