Aside from wrestling, what’s your next favorite PSU sport?

I’m really wondering how many of us just aren’t into football given how few of you I see post on about footbalk

Football would be closest to highly interested. I quit getting season tickets about 20 years ago, but still followed with great interest. The interest darn near disappeared when the Trustees threw Paterno under the bus. It has come back a little, but not like my first 45 or so years of life. Apparently with PSU in 7th place in the Big10 as far as NIL commitment is concerned, the university isn't as interested either.

During the year I will attend a game or two for
Women’s volleyball, football, baseball, softball, hockey (M and W) and gymnastics.

Also attend multiple Eisenhower events.

I feel like we need to give Coach 3 years to show who he is. I have resigned to punting this year and the next 2.
If things were as they were 10 years ago, yep. However, they should be able to build up the roster with the portal and elite traditional recruiting much more quickly than previously. I get he knew Becht, but I am stuck questioning his ability to judge talent. Gronkemeyer is a D1 QB talent. Becht looks like he is in over his head at Big10 speeds.

None.

Notre Dame football, Villanova basketball, anyone for swimming.

On second thought, since anyone includes PSU, I guess the real answer is swimming.

But screw diving.
One of my best friends growing up sent 3 of his kids to Villonova. He became a big fan and has taken me to several games. I find myself rooting for them in basketball.

Question about Notre Dame. With all of the crap Indiana has received for their OOC schedule, I was wondering if you maybe knew why Notre Dame doesn't catch the same grief for their schedule period. Well, except for BYU.

I ran into Jay Wright at a restaurant and told him my dad, my daughter, and my money all went to Villanova. I got a laugh.

As for the ND schedule I have heard a bunch of blowback but they have an ACC schedule and sometimes they get Clemson and sometimes they don't but the real issue is that the ACC's quality has slid with all the realignment. They also play three Big 10 teams and sometimes they are good teams and sometimes not. Then they play Navy out of tradition. Finally USC cancelled on ND because they joined the Big 10 and wanted to make their OOC schedule easier.

Indian gets flack for the same reason as USC. They cancelled on UMass (not exactly a dynamo) replacing them with Jacksonville State (an FBS team since 2023), schedules Kennesaw State (that has only had a team since 2015 and only been FBS since 2022), and scheduled an FCS team (Indian State). So their OOC schedule is basicly three FCS, or near FCS teams.

I am a huge volleyball fan, so usually that is my go-to sport along with football. However, their early struggles this year dampened my enthusiasm. This fall has been tough- both men’s and women’s soccer teams, women’s volleyball and football are just painful to watch☹️

College Sports is getting tougher and tougher for me in general. To much player movement and the misapplication of NIL money has really turned me off. Now having athletes in court trying to get more eligibility is pushing me away even more. If I had to select it would be football.

Anybody that attends Eisenhauer events is good with me. I can tell you the Eisenhauer/Eisenhower origins if anyone is interested.

Wait, the ACC's quality has slid? Who knew? Some posters here think they have murderer's row and PSU couldn't complete.
