Official PSU - UMass game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

I'm traveling a good bit today, as I have an out-of-town wedding to attend. As such, I'm setting up the Penn State - Massachusetts game thread quite a few hours before the game.

Hopefully, @Midnighter will have some drinks for the game.

If not, you can take a drink every time the announcers talk about the vaunted Don Brown defense.

Here's hoping it's warm and dry where you are, and that PSU gives us a lot to celebrate during the game.

Go State! Beat the my-noot men!

I don’t know who you are anymore.

I just heard on btn that UMass has given up the most plays of 20 or more yards in the country.

At least your friends/family had the decency to schedule during a cupcake weekend.

Maybe PSU will just throw it deep...no matter what.

the bride (the half of the couple that we knew as a kid) is a UVA alum, so I don't think CFB was a priority for her when scheduling the event. Her dad is an Eagles season ticket holder, so I'm not surprised that she scheduled the wedding for a weekend where the Birds are playing an away game.

Gus said Franklin said Michigan hasn’t played anybody
kkatt said that’s rich coming from a guy playing university of Massachusetts

Flag?

learn the rules. I made no statement about how this individual looked, so a pic is not required.

JB Nelson and Khalil Dinkins are out for PSU. Tre Wallace is cleared to play

Edit: Dinkins was listed as out on the availability report, but he's warming up on the field during pregame

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Based on warmups, it appears that Vega will get the start at LG in place of the injured JB Nelson

Perhaps this is Vega's opportunity to "star".

Kickoff is set for 3:40 pm EDT.

 

[BobPSU92]

F*ck.

Damn it.

Dog sh|t.

FIRE. FRANKLIN.

O.K. Ready.

You forgot -"Be back in a minute" and "this is what we are up against". Better up your game rookie: season's half over already.

But I do have a good spread of scones and plenty of coffee.

Tom, The rules set the minimum required standard. We expect you to go beyond the minimum standard, so the flag is picked up but you receive a board warning.

@Midnighter -- I'm down in your neck of the woods. The weather is as crappy in D.C. today as it is in State College.

Terribly sunny and 83 degrees at my home.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I can confirm it’s the same in pinehurst. (Harry’s playing in the rain)

 

[psuro]

Allar throws a pick. This board loses its ****
PSU does not cover. This board loses it’s ****

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The drum major hits both flips, so we should be good today. I imagine it's tough to get the speed and traction you'd want to have when attempting to flip on PSU's field today, especially when wearing all the gear the drum major has on.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Those helmets!

 

[Big_O]

The weather today in University Park makes me relive my Penn State years. Glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Sounds like the BTN used a potato microphone to broadcast the Blue Band pregame.... what a turrible sound for a "prestigious sports network"...

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Big play day today

We’ll all have to make the moist of it

I wish they would make the number on the helmets standard.

 

[SleepyLion]

We didn't return the KO for a TD.
Are we ready for the big 2?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU going no huddle to start the game

 

[rudedude]

We set up tailgate at 8, made breakfast and bugged outta there by 11:30. Awful day for a game.

Yeah, had little league this morning and it wasn't cancelled, then kids had their fall festival at school today (I just got back). Unlikely to get to a Midnighter Bar post today but I'm in desperate need of a cold one after volunteering to monitor a bounce house (event was indoors this year)....

AYFKM? Lost the fumble

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Tre Wallace with a fumble, recovered by the DB that stripped the ball. smh
