Really with your current president and coach with sex abuse issues at their last stop?
With Lubrano and other Paterno apologists dominating the alumni Board of Trustees seats?
Yeah everything is fine, moving on...

And that memorial was put up by fans or the school itself?

Look paterno gave many of those fans 50 years of happy memories. It’s sometimes hard for some to separate the two. Personally I along with most alumni want nothing to do with the old regime. (FWIW, the BoT is NOT just full of paterno apologists, that’s insanely innacurrate)

Again, with RU’s recent track record in football both on and off the field with player arrests should you really be throwing stones (or punches ray rice)?

weren’t like 5 Rutgers players literally arrested at practice a few years ago? During the time when you had your old coach that was trying to pay off professors or something?

This plus your CC fraud with your current team.... Rutgers is getting on the field everything it deserves, a team that will never win the conference.

But hey at least you have this message board/safe space to run to to talk about your higher morality that doesn’t exist. Your fans were awful in 14’ when we visited.

To this day the worst most vile opposing fans I’ve ever experienced. The 3 hour wait next to that stupid bubble for the buses was one of the funniest moments I’ve had as a sports fan.... your fans were literally crying bc you wanted that game soo bad.

Don’t give me this “it’s bc of joe” bullshyt when we all know it’s really just that you wish Rutgers was playing in the rose bowl and fiesta bowl like psu has done the last 2 years. But yet (and watch this weekend) you lose by 4 scores or more anytime you play a decent opponent....

What’s the definition of insanity?

Nah, once they cleaned house. Took down the statue. Fired Spanier, Curley and Schultz, Sandusky was put in prison for life, George Mitchell monitored the school and made sure that institutional changes were made across the board, brought in James Franklin and changed the culture of the program, THEN all was forgiven.

You seem to think I’m like the fanboys on bwi that could t even get accepted into a branch campus at psu. I actually went to psu, I care deeply about it and was horrified with what happened. That said they have completely fixed that mess on an institutional level and that is what I support is the institution and it’s student athletes.

I think it’s really just jealousy that your team does not have the support and success you crave. Penn state students LITERALLY went into YOUR stadiums student section and took it over the last time psu visited Rutgers... Let that sink in, that’s embarrassing!

It is also funny to me though considering in the last 5 years Rutgers has had no less than 15 players from their football team arrested for various charges including 8 this year! Yet you still think news from 7 years ago is relevant. After all of you just wanted to blame your previous coach for the bad culture and recruiting the wrong kind of guys, many of your current coaches recruits were already arrested!!

Pot, meet kettle!

I have no problem with many PSU people and have had very close family go to school there very recently. It really is a good school. With that said, attending graduation, I did notice that most of my family stood out like a sore thumb...you may not know what I mean but many on here that know my family most likely could figure that out.

Took Down the Statue- yes, they did and the reaction from PSU fans is exactly what we are talking about.

Franklin to PSU at the time was a very strange choice and I can't believe PSU touched him with a 10 ft pole and that you guys consider him as such a "clean up"
-oh yeah, forgot, he recruits very well. I get it now

Fixed the mess- yes, I think they have done a very good job to move forward. I cant take that away from the new Admin...But it really is the "cult" that pisses everyone off. You actually sound every bit like one...

Jealous: not really. But I might call it something else. I do think many of us are a bit upset at our President and how little he has supported sports over the years. Hobbs has started to make a big dent in that. We are also a bit pissed how we are way behind the eightball compared to the entire conference and while I would take the B1G with the ******** over not getting in, let's not act like we are on the same playing field.

Arrests: yep, not happy at what has happened over the past few years here. But, ahhh, wait...let's even try to forget the Sandusky BS...Did you ever happen to notice the arrest records for nearly a decade prior to that which was swept under the rug? PSU was as pathetic as they came. News from 7 years- ahhhh- THE CULT has spoken...That 7 y/o news is not a HC trying to get extra credit for a player. That news is World History and one of the most horrific crimes against humanity that was carried out over decades against children. WTF are you talking about. It should never be forgotten.

Pot, meet kettle??? Damn man- that is like putting a jaywalker in a cell with Charles Manson...



the psu fans I know and associate with share your sentiments. No cult like fawning and defense of joe for sure.

You R

I don't blame anyone when they claim Rutgers has a lot of problems off the field
(and need to prove themself on the field) and was totally embarrassed because of the crimminal activity some of the RU FB players were involved in and how an ex RU HC conducted himself .but in no way can that compare to the way Paterno and the PSU administration protected a child molester and the length of time they done so.
Penn St was paying out for sexual abuse claims since the 70s in an effort to keep the knowledge of children being molested by a member of Peterno's staff from the public.
Then when that pervert was almost caught (1998), he was forced to retire once enough time went by so it wouldn't look connected to his being investigated for a sex crime ( but not charged) and made Coach Emeritus to make it look like a regular retirement.
Then a few years later that POS was caught by a Nit GA in the football shower molesting a child and Paterno and the PSU Administration covered that up.

So Nit fans ,doen't even try to compare misdeeds,Penn St allowed children to be molested for over 40 years and did everything they could to protect a child molester.
Rutgers had/has problems with players and their crimes were always put out in the open ,those crimes pale in comparison to what Penn St allowed. Don't try to use them to lessen what Paterno and the other child molester protectors did.

I think the game is at State Penn

The game is in Pittsburgh (Heinz Field).

ABC wanted the game for their National Broadcast game which will start at 8:00 PM.

However, initially the Pittsburgh Pirates game (PNC Park) was scheduled to be played at night starting at 7:00 pm. Pitt asked the Pirate organization to move the Pirates/Marlins game time start to 1:05 PM so the Pitt/Penn State game can be the ABC National Broadcast Game at 8. The Pirates graciously accommodated the Pitt request.

North shore will be very busy with over 100,000 fans attending both events. Common Parking lots used for Heinz Field and PNC Park events.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Hello Panthergrowl: I will be at the game Saturday night. (my Daughter is a Freshman at Pitt). Any recommendations for parking given the two game situation. I will be hitting one of the downtown sports bars first to watch the RU game. Was then thinking of parking in one of the downtown garages and walking across one of the bridges to Heinz. Looks like about a half hour walk on google but I am not that familiar yet with the area? Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks

Pitt QB is from my town... GO PITT OTHS FO LIFE

Kenny is one of my favorite Pitt Panthers and IMHO he will he will be a future NFL QB.

As Abro pointed out Kenny was a 6-2 190lb Rivals 3-star (5.6) QB out of NJ.
Other NJ QB at that time may have been rated higher but his talent and potential were recognized by the Panther staff. Under the training, development and QB coaching (Watson/was QB coach for Teddy Bridgewater while at Louisville) he has developed into a 6-2 220lb QB with great QB skills. I realize he only has 3 games under his belt (VT,Miami and Albany) but you can see his talent, poise and leadership ability. Can't say enough of good things about this kid. Your hometown will be very proud of him.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

I personally don't like to park on the North Shore for the games.

There is an underground parking garage (my favorite) near the Point (Eddie Merlot's Restaurant is above the Parking garage) Wyndham Grande Hotel is across the street. There is a pedestrian walkway at the Point which will take you over the river right to Heinz Field or go over the Clemente Bridge.
If you go early enough, you should be able to get a parking place. The parking garage will probably charge a fixed event fee of maybe $25. There are also other parking garages in Pittsburgh not on the North Shore.

If you want to watch the Rutgers game walk over to the North Shore. There are a ton of bars you can go to such as Three River Casino, Bettis Grill, Tequila Cowboy, Bar Louie, McFaddens, SoHo etc.
The North Shore will be really rocking. If this is your first time in Pittsburgh for a game, I am sure you will have a good time. If you have the time next week let me know how your visit went.

Enjoy the game.

ps I will also be watching the Rutgers game and wish Sit the best of luck. This will be my first time watching him play against Ohio State. Good luck.

Thank you very much for the info! Much appreciated. I have to say I was a bit disappointed my daughter choose Pitt over RU but the city is really very nice with has a ton of things to do. Have been there 4 times and really enjoyed the different neighborhoods. Much different town from the Atlantic Ten Tournament days.

Umm yea that’s who they play this week.

Have you ever visited the Pitt board? It’s 247 coverage of penn State year round.... they literally talk more about psu than their own school over there. It’s the worst little brother syndrome in college football right now. Even their AD has emabarrased the school with their total desperation to play psu to stay relevant in the state and sell season tickets.

This will be the last time Pitt sells out season tickets again unless psu comes to town again. Sandy Barber and James Franklin know this and refuse to schedule them as a result. Playing Pitt only helps their program, it does nothing for PSU in terms of national aspirations

So again, what is your point? I don’t support paterno.

I’ve been talking about the penn state Nittany Lions football team with James Franklin as their head coach.

It’s really sad when all you have are Sandusky jokes and insults to hurl. I’m not going to bother debunking all the innacuracies of your post but I’m just going to point out that talking **** about paterno does nothing at this point. It doesn’t matter to the school, it doesn’t matter to the current players, it doesn’t matter to recruits, it doesn’t matter to the current coaching staff but yet I understand why you continue to go back to it because as a Rutgers fan, it’s all you have.

It actually makes me laugh when I read posts like yours because it reminds me of back in 2011 when everything went down, fans of Rutgers, Pitt, Maryland (you know, the schools we used to have to compete with for mutual recruits) were convinced that this was the way to the top! This is what is going to bury penn state and all the jersey recruits they steal every year will now go to Rutgers! Or so you thought....

I don’t believe at all that you carry on harping 7 years later because you are concerned with the well being of children. I doubt very much you could name even 1 of the last 1000 child abuse charges that have occurred in the country without a google search so please, save the morality schtick.

But again, when it comes to James Franklin and Penn State, you have nothing. All you have is an 0-4 record and an apology from your own AD on behalf of your fans because of how they acted in 14’.

There was no need for apologies in 16’, I went back and by the start of the third quarter there were more psu fans than Rutgers fans in that stadium. Psu students literally went over to the Rutgers student section (you know, maybe to say hi to the people that chant ‘F*ck penn state’ every third down since 2015) but when they went over for introductions your fans were NO WHERE to be found? So wait, talk a bunch of sh*t and then run when the opponent actually shows up.... laughable

FWIW, you’re blaming your previous coach for the problems at Rutgers off the field but what about the 8 players charged with CC fraud this year? ALL of them were recruits of Chris Ash, NOT Kyle Flood.... but yea it’s kyle floods fault... delusional

Pitt fans don’t say Penn st is not their rival. You wacko’s say Pitt’s not your rival.

Looking at both message boards. Ped st fans seem waaay more obsessed with Pitt.

I hope they destroy you this Saturday. As far as season tickets are concern ( typical Ped st come back about attendance) your wrong ( not surprising ). They sell out games against WVU and ND.

Pitt doesn’t need Ped st either. So get off your high horse nitter. Your football program will forever be tarnished with what went on up there.

LOL!!!!

Pitt is TOO competitive for Penn State to play even on an intermittent future schedule basis.

Penn State does not want to play Pitt for games which will be shown before a National TV audience. If Pitt wins , Penn State will be so embarrassed.
It is so hard to promote the myth that "we are so great" after losing to Pitt.

Therefore, it is much easier to promote that myth by scheduling teams like Bowling Green, Villanova, Delaware, Temple, Central Michigan, etc. None of those games will be considered for a National Broadcast.

After beating Temple or Villanova, Penn State will perpetuate the myth they are the best football team in Pennsylvania.

College football fans know why Penn State does not want to play Pitt.

Sigh,

I don’t even think I should bother with this bc it would require rational thinking on your part but here it goes...

In 2016 Pitt sold out season tickets for the first time since 2003. This was a result of the administration realizing that psu would draw huge numbers and they put almost no single game tickets for sale. Psu fans HAD to buy season tickets to get seats to the game, it’s why literally every other home game that year you had 15,000 or more empty seats and ANY game but psu you could get in for $6 from stub hub (their minimum allowed purchase).

In 2017 Pitt did NOT sell out season tickets, but yet in 2018 they did... why do you think that is??? Are you THAT naive to not realize the monetary value psu brings to Pitt from a ticket sales perspective alone? Why do you think your AD is so desperate to schedule us in the future? Literally going to the media and straight BEGGING for a renewal of the series?

PSU realizes this and dispite your personal hopes that them losing to Pitt would be embarrassing for the program, well they lost to Pitt 2 years ago and since then have gone to the Rose Bowl, won the Big 10, and just won the fiesta bowl. Not to mention it has made ZERO impact on recruiting, psu is pulling top 5 classes, while Pittsburgh is recruiting like ****. Pat Narduzzi is a GARBAGE recruiter.

But yea, keep telling yourself psu is scheduling cupcakes when in fact they are dumping Pitt for there next home and Home series with Auburn.... you know an ACTUAL team with national aspirations, not a leach of a program like Pitt that hasn’t been relevant for over 30 years

Unless you actually go out there for a game or talk with their fans/students in any substance, you actually will have trouble believing or understanding just how messed up everyone involved in that school it. Whether we play them in sports or not, it’s not about Rutgers vs Penn State it’s about Penn state. They deserve nothing less than losing every game in football forever.
