I've got to tell you, stick together as a fan base. I know everyone is shell shocked for the time being, but it will get better. I guarantee.
I was one of the Penn State fans who wanted Rutgers in the BT. I live in South Jersey, so it brings big football to the area. Pitt can no longer be a meaningful game each year, and you have taken their place on our annual schedule.
I already love the vitriol that appears on each other's boards; it may be a precursor of a some day rivalry. And I doubt any program will ever again have to endure what we have gone through since 2011. We were pronounced DOA and seem to be on a path to recovery.
So on the eve of our next game I write to say we would rather beat you down when you are at your best, and we recognize your ranks have been depleted, but good luck anyway. When the Penn State athletic department decided on a Stripe Out for Saturday's game, I'm sure they didn't intend any reference to prison clothing.
Cheers.
