Am I the only one that didn’t like the new stadium video? It seems so negative and doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. If we were to start big ten play 0-2, it’d feel really awkward starting the next home game with that.

Yeah...

I wasn’t a fan either.

I love the guy, but he went a little overboard with the “National Championships” tonight. We won them in ‘82 and ’86. That’s it.

Let’s not be Pitt and give ourselves “New York Times” National Championships. Those don’t count. Let’s not pretend they do.

I agree

Tonight was the first time I heard we were crowned National Champions in 1911 and 1912.

Yeah I know

Didn’t know those. I think I’ve seen people claim 1931 and 1932 though.

that didn't sit all that well with me either

made me think of that other school in western PA with all of those silly trophies on the wall as well

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member

Well, on the official NCAA website

It lists National champions in Football by all sources they deem good enough I guess. According to them we have 11 and 12 wrapped up. It was deemed so by the National Championship Foundation who went back and named champions for before the AP poll was started.

My question is why are those people’s opinions any less valid then a bunch of sports writers? If we accept 82 and 86, why can we not accept any other outlet’s opinion, why is one better than the other? Tradition? Meh. I call baloney.

What is wrong with saying we have 6 national titles? frankly its not any less honest than saying we have two. 86 was definite.

I’d rather just say 10 time unbeaten Penn State and remove the opinion factor all together(or how ever many times it has been)
