Our son is so excited he flew into SC yesterday from Colorado for the game. He gets to experience the whiteout game, something I haven't been able to do. The last time I was in Beaver Stadium it only fit about 55k. Zachs HS friend is a student and he is already having a blast. Zach goes to CU Boulder and is a SR. this year. He really wanted to go to the whiteout since I raised him as a devout Penn State and Steelers fan. Got to raise 'em right !

I have to admit, Primetime looked pretty sharp with all that white last week.

I'm happy he gets to experience it. You should make a point to get back to a game next season. It's well worth it.

I'll give him a B+. To get an A, his son with have to be a senior at PSU. But if the son got a scholarship to CU, or he's paying in-state tuition, then I probably would change the grade to an A.

It was the tuition.

He is also in Aerospace Engineering and works at the NASA contracted lab on campus working with satellites. CU does have a good Aerospace program and there are a ton of aerospace defense contractors in Colorado. Ball Aerospace, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup and on and on. The in state tuition was a definite contributor, we have been retired 9 years. Late life father but hey the 70’s 80’s and 90’s were a blur and a blast.

My college freshman daughter just texted me tonight saying we should go. I got an itch but then I had another beer and looked at the forecast and the bank account. Maybe next year…..

CU Boulder is a pretty sweet campus. Hope he has a great time at the game.
