Please use this for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the PSU - Michigan game.

We Are ...

- not quite sure what to expect, as this is an unusual situation
- curious to see how PSU's O does, as they need to step up for this challenge for PSU to be successful
- hopeful that PSU's DL and LB corp can elevate their game a bit
- expecting the stadium to be rockin'
- glad I don't be on games, as I can find multiple scenarios favoring both teams
- ready to celebrate a win

... Penn State!!!

The Harbaugh stuff on social media is gold…

Then there is this…

 

[Midnighter]

Hmm - will it?

Like it or not, this is how an AD defends his coach.

49 states rooting for the Nittany Lions today.....might be the 1st time since January 2, 1987

All kinds of reports about traffic issues getting to the parking lots.

Then there is this…

this was Pat McAfee view of the game on ESPNU - all emotion. He thinks whoever UMich played in this game was going to get run over. He said UMich wins in route. Pat has picked against us on the basis of emotion before.

key will be getting into the game flow without any major negative situations. If we end 0-0 at 1st qtr that would be okay. big plays against us either way in the early part of the game would be negative. expect JF to call a conservative game coming out to make sure we don't get burned. Does Manny play it a bit safe? He needs to make sure that McCarthy is not scrambling.

PSU 24 - the nosepickers 17.

What’s the over/under on the number of times Harbaugh is mentioned. I’m surprised they don’t have a camera on him sitting on a sofa watching the game from the hotel.

[GreggK]

The Fox sports president really went out of his way to make this the most pro Michigan broadcast they could. It is pretty gross

 

[Paws057]

Love how no one is giving us a chance!

 

[BobPSU92]

All the Fox guys are picking um. Not surprising.

 

[CDLionFL]

Fox showing the team running out and I can't help but notice the well-fed state trooper also running out (or in his case, jogging). They couldn't let one of the fitter ones run alongside the team?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

More yellow in the stands (outside of the visitors ticket area) than you'd like to see

 

[Paws057]

Wonder how many times we’re going to hear about the sign stealing?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Gabe with another KO into the endzone to start the game.

 

[FTLPSU]

I would really like a WIN today---I went fishing at 6AM and lost a 70+# Wahoo....so need something BIG to offset that!

Lets go We ARE!

 

[Calabrin]

Nice. Bring these false start penalties early. Rattle them. Disrupt rhythm.

 

[FTLPSU]

Boys are playing fast..this team is awake!

 

[Calabrin]

HUGE SACK! 10 yard loss on 3rd and 8.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sack!!!!

DDS

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good series by PSU's D, and nice to hear how much the crowd is into the game

 

[Nitwit]

Is Midnighter’s bar open? I need a drink.

 

[wbcbus]

Good of a start as we could hope for.

 

[CoolBean]

 

[Paws057]

Not a good start for the offense
