    Is it just me, but are ticket sales lagging?

    The demand is there from students for season tickets. If they increased student ticket sales for students by (say) 5000 tickets, I’d expect they’d sell them all. They have the numbers and know how many kids put in for the lottery. So they would have a good idea as to how many they could put out...

    College Football Playoff to consider new "Penn State rule": strength of conference schedule

    Yeah, the mid to low tier of the Big Ten looks faily mediocre or even weak. I dislike the SEC but would begrudgingly admit that it's middle and lower programs tend to be stronger than the Big Ten (more "depth") which particularly seems to be the case with results so far this year. It doesn't...

    Is it just me, but are ticket sales lagging?

    And lots of students choose to go to PSU because of the excitement of football games and are devastated when they don't get tickets. I do agree that increasing the student ticket alotment seems like a no brainer with sales seemingly lagging elsewhere - the demand is there from the students.

    College Football Playoff to consider new "Penn State rule": strength of conference schedule

    I generally think that is true, but the SEC has been phenominal in non conference play this year so far. Oklahoma losing to Michigan and Arkansas losing to Utah are the only losses. No losses to any non P4 teams. wins over Clemson, Louisville, Ohio State, Florida State. Nothing ground...

    “Penn State rises to No. 22 among public universities in 2027 US News ‘Best Colleges’”

    All schools do it to some extent but the king is definitely Northeastern. They’ve made manipulating the data to get bigger rankings into a science.

    College- will anyone go in ten years?

    I commented on here before about this, but it is pretty crazy to me that a large state school like Oregon doesn't have engineering. I realize in some states you have a more engineering focused school (as is the case with Oregon with Oregon State) but even the "other" school still usually has...

    “Penn State rises to No. 22 among public universities in 2027 US News ‘Best Colleges’”

    Yeah, PSU has always been cited for the UP campus specifically as long as I can recall. Pitt does that as well with their different campuses. I don't really think USN&WR ranking are the end all be all, but they are very commonly cited, so this improvement is a good thing. Looks like we are...

    Wisconsin/PSU set for 5:00 PM

    So I looked at my guide online and NBC Sports Network does look like they have the game… but starting at 5:30. So it seems it will be on TV but with a half hour delay. It follows the Purdue/Notre Dame game on NBCSN so if that game ends early, might start earlier. But probably have to watch on...

    Wisconsin/PSU set for 5:00 PM

    I've been trying to determine this myself. the "new" NBC Sports Network carries some but not all sports from Peacock. It's a bit of a strange channel.

    Wisconsin/PSU set for 5:00 PM

    An unusual start time for the Homecoming game vs Wisconsin. Set for 5:00 PM and will be broadcasted on Peacock exclusively. https://onwardstate.com/2026/09/14/penn-state-wisconsin-scheduled-for-5-p-m-kickoff-on-peacock/

    Thoughts on Temple game?

    I don’t think it’s an embarrassment to be playing them in general. But it is mind bogglingly stupid that we are playing them away. Temple is a team that should only ever be played at home for a payout game. Wasting a precious away slot on them is inexcusable. if we were determined to play a...

    Boy, Did Western Michigan get jobbed.

    Yes to the first. Also a number of 1st down conversions for UM with the refs walking in clearly crooked lines from where the ball was initially spotted. And a blatant (uncalled) block in the back on the kickoff that started the UM winning drive which sprung the runner. That being said, the 2...

    Pretty clear that Campbell has put PSU in a great position to have a vey successful 2026 Season with the talent he has brought over in mass

    I honestly feel really bad for Iowa St. Not only taking their coach but decimating their roster, both their best players but also their depth. I know that just the reality of college football today but it really isn't fair for them and they always seemed like a reasonable likeable program.

    Rutgers

    As has been pointed out, they were mainly brought in for BTN TV revenue as it made New Jersey and kinda NYC as "in state" so it added money to the coffers of the league. Also, Rutgers was willing to take a one sided deal to join with smaller payments for an extended period of time (but still...
