We Are ...

- concerned that so many PSU starting defenders have opted out
- not sure who will adequately replace Dotson at WR
- interested to see how the youngsters that start, or get game action, do
- not happy that most of the opt outs have been to the DL and the LB corp, as Arkansas has a good run game
- wondering if anyone will notice D changes with Poindexter handled the DC duties for the game
- hopeful that it's an interesting and entertaining game
- ready to start off the new year with a win

... Penn State!!!

PSU will be wearing white in today's contest.

The game will be officiated by a Big 12 crew.

I don't know if we can use the term "PSU" since this team is almost a completely different line-up than what we had all season. Could we call ourselves - "Branch Campus PSU" or something along that line for the game?, (note sarcasm in post).

I believe Juliano is set to retire from the Philadelphia Inquirer. This might be his last assignment for them.

Let's see if these young guys can play, We Are.

So, can we start next year returning 10 starters? Only Luketa should be gone from this lineup.

Tom - correct. Last assignment I believe. He did his last Villanova hoops game right before Christmas as well.

I heard that Villanova did some type of presentation/acknowledgement for him at the game. Appears you have a challenge today, with the PSU football game starting at noon, and the Nova hoops game against Seton Hall starting at 2.

Nothing would be sweeter than beating an SEC team on New Year’s Day! Go Lion’s!!

I can’t believe I have to see the end of sportscenter before our game. Kill me now.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

oh joy ... Rod Gilmore on the broadcast. I may have to switch to the PSU radio coverage.

Big 12 refs.

 

[Big_O]

At the game. Smaller crowd than I expected.

 

[PSUJam]

I can't believe CJF just spit. I'm appalled.

Stormy Buonantony is the sideline reporter, which should be nice.

Nothing special

nice scamper by Cliff for the 1st down on 3rd & long

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Parker Washington -- nice pass by Cliff

 

[PSU87]

Perfect ball there by Clifford

 

[JoeBot409]

Parker Washington is a player

I noticed that... lol...

 

[manweiser]

cifford needs to move on.

 

[JoeBot409]

cifford needs to move on.

I’m leaning that way as well

 

[Tom McAndrew]

50-yard FG attempt by Pinegar, and it's not even close.

 

[Midnighter]

Wow.

 

[PSUJam]

Clifford's hand is hurt.

 

[OuiRPSU]

Same ol, same ol

 

[JoeBot409]

That was the worst kick I’ve ever seen

 

[The real m.knox]

Zikes................ Cliff with a really bad play and that FG attempt was miserable.....

Queue up the circus music.

 

[harjeff]

After the nice pass play to Parker things went downhill with terrible Cliff decision and CJF trying a ridiculous FG. Punt them inside the 10! UGH!!!
