Official PSU - Iowa '25 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2025 PSU - Iowa game.

It's been a long week for PSU fans. Who knows what this evening will bring.

We Are ...

- completely unsure of how PSU will play in tonight's game
- never crazy about playing Iowa
- curious to see how Grunk does at QB
- hoping that the gameplan, on both sides of the ball, is a little more inspiring
- not making a prediction on today's game ... just too many unknowns, and unusual variables

... Penn State!!!

Vega being out hurts the OL and the offense. Harvey being out also hurts the DL.

From the poem by Rudyard Kipling

I’m excited to see the plays they have in the Smolik package.

 

[G3624]

If, resembles, Joe, inspired by Franklin.

So we’re calling for the backup already? I just want to be prepared.

Okay we cant fire Terri Smith so he gets a free pass tonight….

No just thinking it might not be a bad idea to have a series pkg ready for him.

Grunk needs all the reps he can get.

 

[Paws057]

They’ve got an ugly mascot!

 

[PSU Mike]

I’m not hearing broadcast team?

 

[12bflying]

Did yyou all see Kraft and Smith dancing and laughing on the sideline?

 

[leinbacker]

I hear the stadium noises, but not the announcers. maybe that is a good thing

 

[Paws057]

I’m not hearing broadcast team?

you make it sound like a bad thing….Lol

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I’m not hearing broadcast team?

Yup

 

[Bison13]

I’m not hearing broadcast team?

Same

 

[Big_O]

I’m not hearing broadcast team?

Yep. Another case of not getting what you are paying for.

 

[Paws057]

Sound works perfect for the commercials

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Peacock sucks! No announcers right now! WTF! Maybe a good thing

 

[LMTLION]

Cheated the system by getting a free peacock premium trial on Amazon prime. I just have seven days to cancel the trial.

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

Send Cael and the boys. Brands bros can't handle him

 

[DELion]

Paterno's grandson read him the poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling on his deathbed. It is very appropriate to the current team's challenges.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With Vega out, it looks though the OL, from L to R, will be Shelton, Shanahan, Dawkins, Donkoh, Rucci

 

[Knickslions69]

Grunk has plays on his wrist oh know lol

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU will KO to start. Gabe's KO goes into the endzone for a touchback, so Iowa will start on their 25

 

[Paws057]

That looked like three linebackers?

 

[Calabrin]

Peacock sucks! No announcers right now! WTF! Maybe a good thing

Yeah, what the crap was that??

If you can't get your streaming service together, maybe don't have one.

Iowa with 3rd & 7 on their opening drive ...

INT, by Wheatley!!!!!

 

[Paws057]

Nice pick!
