Assume a CFB team plays 12 games in the regular season. If the three non conference games are non-competitive, you are down to a 9 game season. In our conference, we can assume that 5 games are not competitive (Pur, Ind, Rut, MD, IL, NW, MN, UCLA).

Let’s face it folks. In today’s CFB, Penn State plays a 4 game season. In recent years, Penn State has been about .500 in their competitive games. Not good enough.

TheThe Nittany Lions are scheduled to open the season at home against the Ball State Cardinals on Sept. 2 before traveling to face the Syracuse Orange the following week on Sept. 9.

I’ve never been to Syracuse, I feel a road-trip in my future

Pro tip: Stay on Oneida Lake if you go. You should be able to get a good rental deal as it's the weekend after Labor Day and that's when the "season" ends.

Been there a long time ago

Dinosaur Barbecue used to be a place, but it might be more of a tourist trap now.
That time of year is great to hike, boat, visit some wineries.
Might make this a M/C trip, depending on weather and how I feel at the time.

It's been that way for decades. Go back and check out the schedules from our independant days.

That's right ... we suck because we're so good, 3/4 of our schedule is non-competitive. Or something.

NewEra 2014, trying to make a point, take two ...

Looks about 4 hours easy peasy

Stop kidding yourself. You never go into the stadium.
