Can't help to think of '99 and Minnesota's always plays us tough going back at their stadium.

Anyone nervous about the Team's chances tomorrow. I'm glad its a 3;30 Game.

- Start date
That game. Ugh, I went, it was painful. But, that being said, I can’t see that happening tomorrow. This team has tasted so much heart break, I think they will be ready.
As long as they play aggressive, I think they play well. They know what’s ahead of them. Turn the dogs loose and let them after it.
No, I'm not nervous. I think PSU wins handily.
Wasn't the '99 game in State College?
Yep, that was my first game back in13 years. Ugh is right! Talk about not playing to win, and a team being able to exploit weaknesses in our defense!
Goldy certainly is living rent free in our heads. I have watched a lot of Minnesota football this year and I am not worried but understand that a lot of the worry from our fan base is due to PTSD from 99 & 2019.
I have some issues with Franklin, but one of them isn’t having the team ready to beat an unranked team. If you remove the oddball Covid year, he is 66-3 against unranked teams since 2016.

@MaconNitt & I are representing out in Minny. We will be sitting with our pal, @STPGopherfan and got to meet @BVSt.Paul and have plans post game at a local distillery to taste the salty Gopher tears!
Rutgers held them to -14 yards rushing in the second half. But still, I am worried
I was married for less than 4 months at the time of that game. My Minnesota-born wife’s parents were down visiting and we were out doing things with them all day. We ended up somewhere that had the end of the game on and they kept making comments about great this would be for Minnesota if they could win and surprised they were that they were beating Penn State. I was stewing and my wife kept trying to change the subject. I think it was that day she realized the depths of my fandom.
Have a great day with the boys.
I am not a superstitious person. However, there were 2 crazy special team plays that made the game much closer than it should have been from a score perspective.
That blocked punt and blocked extra point attempt resulted in 9 points for Minnesota. What is the probability for these 2 events to occur in the same game? These self-inflicted special team mistakes almost doomed the Nittany Lions.
So, I understand your point.
