Beaver Stadium Pre-game Video

JGuiher — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:32:19 -0000

I am trying to find a copy of pre-game pump-up video they show at Beaver Stadium. I have looked at gopsf.com and couldn't find it and the only thing I can find on youtube are homemade ones. Any help with this would be greatly appriciated as it is for the wife's birthday. Thanks!

Also, does anyone know of a website that has a master list of future ooc schedules for teams? I found one that has seperate links for each team, but when trying to look at 120 FBS teams that is a couple hr process to go through them all!

College Football an Olympic Sport? YES!

I was looking for some info on when college football played exhibition games in preseason back in the day and found this link

Apparantly college football was an olympic sport in 1904!

Also found some info about when the college all-stars got to play the world champs.

And a real interesting read (from a Penn State grad) about how some schools count games in their history and others dont.

Still looking for some info on the exhibition games. I know JoePa eluded to them once in a Presser about how we used to go down to Carlise or something and have a little scrimmage. Maybe in the 50's?

Troy Sunderland is officially out as Penn State wrestling head coach.

According to a press release from the athletic department, Sunderland submitted his resignation and it is effective Saturday.

Sunderland's resignation comes after a week of speculation he was told he could resign or be fired by Athletic Director Tim Curley in a meeting.

A national search for his replacement will resume immediately, according to the release.

Bar List?

JGuiher — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:36:32 -0000

Looking for the Bar list and of course it seems to have disappeared a day or two ago. I will be attending the Pitt/UL game on Saturday at noon and then I need a place to enjoy the PSU game at 3:30. Of course a place with some decent beer and food would be nice as well :-)

Thanks.

Go Penn State and Beat the Iowa Helmet Head Birds or whatever they are supposed to be.

Number 3

JGuiher — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:02:18 -0000

The BCS has us number 3 again, .009 behind Texas Tech.

However, we just need 1 more loss from one of those 2 teams and we are ok I think. Really would like for it to happen this weekend and we will be good. Obviously we need to finish our business as well.

Geaux Tigers!

Go OK State!

Go Penn State!!!!!!!!!!1

Big 12 Football

Big 12 Football

How come when a guy has these stats and the score is like this they call it great college football and the team gets ranked #1 but in HS both teams are only 1-7 and suck?

Need 1 Ticket

JGuiher — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 19:04:00 -0000

Anywhere in the stadium for the MSU game. Please email at jguiher at gmail dot com with a price and how to get the money to you. Birthday present for the old man.

Also, some thoughts on last night.

Texas Tech is way overrated, Oregons new unis are still dumb, LSU should just shut up and learn how to cover Harvin, our ref was funny as hell when trying to talk on the mic, the dive by the punter on D-Wills return was even funnier.

Probably...

JoePa says that the 2 Smokey McPots are "probably" going to play on Saturday. I sure hope that this helps us. There are only a few common opponents that we have with others and beating them is not only critical for our record but we need to beat them better then the other teams. Such as Mizzou and Ill was 42 32 so we need to be better then that.

Parking in State College

JGuiher — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:19:08 -0000

Apparently the Boro just passed some BS about raising rates for those of you who use the downtown garages for game weekends. I know this is going to hurt my business but what am I to do?

Here is the release to businesses just sent a little bit ago.

NEWS FROM THE DOWNTOWN STATE COLLEGE IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT (DSCID)
For further information, contact Jody Alessandrine, Executive Director, (814) 238-7004; dsc@downtownstatecollege.com

Members of the DSCID Parking Study Committee and Jody Alessandrine, DSCID Executive Director, met w/ Art Caccavale & Karen Martin from State College Borough Parking Division Friday morning.
The Borough of State College agreed to compromise with the DSCID Parking Study Committee on the proposed new garage parking for special event weekends only. In July 2007, Borough Council passed an ordinance allowing the administration to institute new parking rates for transient or rental parking in any garage or non-metered lot for a (trial) period of up to 6 months. Here are the details of the new rate structure for downtown parking garages only:
AGREED UPON: Starts Temple Football Weekend, all home football game weekends; from 7AM Sat. to 5PM Sun.; $1.00 per hour the entire time—i.e. $24.00/24-hr. period max.
ORIGINAL BOROUGH PROPOSAL: Starts Temple Weekend, all home games; from 3PM Fri. to 5PM Sun; $2.00 per hour first 5 hours, $1.00 ea. hr. thereafter with a $29.00/24-hr. period max.
The Borough also agreed to supply business owners with MVP purchase opportunities for their employees since if purchased in advance, they pay the normal .75 cent hourly rate; and, to sit down with the DSCID after the football season to review actual revenue compared to the projected overall revenue increase.
(The other special event weekends the borough anticipates implementing increased garage parking rates are Blue/White and Arts Festival).
At 12 Noon on Friday, the administration briefed the State College Borough council at their workshop of the new agreed-upon garage rates for special event weekends. Everyone seems content with this compromise. The DSCID will keep its membership abreast of all developments.
