First!
well, at least I’m not missing a “good game” while being trapped in the cubicle on a saturday…..
Gamecast is will be then.
The only way we lose this is if . . .
we (the fans) don’t take it seriously. I don’t want a thread on here Sunday talking about how no one put on thier lucky jersey, or decided not to make the traditional gameday fare. Karma is a fickle thing. May we not tempt her today.
Assume
That you have the most expensive, and expansive cble plan available, and you still don’t get ESPN Classic. Can you watch the game on ESPN 36o?
Where’s the Beer and the Bar-b-Que?
I've never watched on espn360
It seems like it will be difficult to make insightful comments on BSD and watch the game at the same time. It looks like espn360 has a compact screen mode but its like watching on a PDA screen.

Espn 360 stinks....
it always freezes. Just listen on the radio.

There's a soccer game on now
It’s coming through smoothly. This laptop is fairly new with a lot of speed, maybe it will be ok. It will be a pain to switch back and forth with BSD

Good...
I can only talk from my experience.

Graduated tick prices
I posted this in the other thread, but the other thread is dead. So…
What if you raised the price of a non-conference game ticket if you could get a quality opponent in? An extra $20 or 25 per to give straight to the opposing team? That way, you would fill the stadium, get media coverage, get people excited, get respect from the pollsters (if you win), and make it worth someone’s while to COME TO PENN STATE.
The problem comes with defining quality opponent. Someone who is in a major conference and was in the Top 25 two of the last three years? A "traditional" non-conference rival such as Syracuse, Nebraska, Pitt, Alabama, Miami, Notre Dame, West Virginia?
I personally think that PSU-Va Tech is an new interconference rivalry worth examining.
I’m not a season-ticket holder. If you are, would you be in favor of this plan?
To make it even more exciting
We could give the winning players a new car.

pay to play
I would pay extra if we could get Pitt to come. I want to start that matchup again. Its good for the program.
I would pay a little more to get a home and home with a strong team, but you still want 1 creampuff to get the kinks out

How is playing Pitt instead of WVU or VaTech good for the program?
Pitt wants you to think that because they need to fill the Rooney’s, state of PA, and city of Pittsburgh’s their stadium.
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

Still wouldn't work
$20 × 100,000 tickets = $2,000,000
Most BCS teams can make more than that by hosting their own home game against a FCS opponent.

Just got off the phone with comcast
only $5 a month to add this channel – easiest decision I made all year
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?
What is with LSU...
and night games? This was largely mediocre program until Saban got there. Anywhere at night is tough to play.

Something I just noticed about my BSD quicklink:
It’s icon is the BHGP logo . . . and I have no idea how it changed. Apparently our football team wasn’t the only thing that was pwned that terrible day. I can’t decide if I should change it . . . or if it is something symbolic.

Is it bad
That I live in State College, have season tickets, didn’t sell my tickets for this game, and am sitting on my couch?
I went to the Iowa game
It rained, we lost, I had a headache, got home at 3am. Drag your ass off the couch and go to the game
