Sunday Column: Well-Timed Fireworks Help Penn State Make Inconsistency Moot in Rout of Auburn
The scoreboard don’t care how, only how many. Penn State’s 41-12 smackdown of Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium will turn some heads around the country, and will leave the hosts with just as much collective doubt as it will fill the visitors with collective confidence. James Franklin will preach...

I know some relish the opportunity to revel in the opposing fanbase response to a PSU win, but still this Auburn fan's tweet...eek 
I have not studied the tape of PSU's first 3 games. In that context, I felt that Isaac had his best game of the season. When Chop and he were in at DE, the DLine was making a difference.
i am sure this has been answered already in this thread but it was a really really long day in the sun and full of drinking with the Auburn fansso i am too lazy to look it up but is there a replay scheduled of this game, would love to see the TV broadcast of it
when I saw your post (in the Lions Den) about thinking about going to the game, I had a feeling that a W was a lock.
It's a little tougher to find replays of CBS sports broadcasts than it is to find the same fromABC/ESPN broadcasts. In the meantime, try this (I believe it misses a bit of the beginning):
A few pics from yesterday
The shot clock draws them in like flies
View from our seats, halfway up the Himalayas!
A pic of an a** beating
we had a great time, Auburn fans very nice and friendly, we witnessed no bs at all. MaconNitt’s BIL treated us to ribs and wings burgers and dogs/brats on his Traeger. RV lot (Hayfields) has free, yes free parking!! If lucky enough to get on one, they have buses to take you to the stadium as well as expanded golf carts. Lots of PSU folks where we were and, as explained by a fellow Auburn tailgater, the reason for this is we were further away from the stadium. Crowd was NOT as loud as a Whiteout @ the Beav. Eagle flight pre kickoff was cool but the Eagle did an extra loop and this was not the ususal flight path (perhaps a harbinger of what was to come?) one huge new scoreboard, the other was a high school sized one that you couldn’t read from where we sat near the crest of Mt Everest! Top decks are the height of the endzones at the Beav and steps going up are pretty steep. Fun trip, now onto the rest of the season!

Our experiences with the Auburn fans were amazing. Happened across one tailgate late Friday evening. We got to talking and it turns out I had been involved in designing some sigint warfare stuff he had used in Iraq that worked really well for him and his soldiers....it was like we were fast friends after that....we stopped by again before and after the game and they could not stop plying us with food and drink.
He did say the eagle had taken an extra lap the week before as well. That's a cool tradition no matter....
Yeah those upper deck stairs in the stadium....ouch, very steep. Also the pitch sucks....especially going down.
Except for one play (can't remember exactly when) where the noise seemed to ramp up) I didn't feel like it approached the level of noise at PSU.
One really cool thing....the rumble strips on one of the roads are "tuned" so that when a car goes over them, it's four notes of the fight song. Simple in execution, but what a cool idea.
Manny Diaz > Brent Pry
Mike Yurchich > Ricky Rahne
The best part of playing on CBS is that they mostly avoid those moronic Dr. Pepper and Cheez-It commercials.

Yeah we noticed the rumble strip pattern and were ready to break into a PSU fight song.
I'm writing Old Main to tell them we need to do it all over campus and around the stadium....1st 5 notes of Hail to the Lion.
As an engineer and a musician, I was impressed by the utter simplicity of the concept, but the fact that someone had thought to do it.

Correct answer - circle gets the square.Gary Danielson is a Cheez-it.
Humor me: what is Keith Jackson?Gary Danielson is a Cheez-it.
I read these threads about football announcers with fascination because I get zero from them, never have gotten anything from, say, Richie Ashburn (my father’s favorite announcer), Vin Scully, or Keith Jackson.
