Penn State football in late September. It can only mean one thing: MACrifice!
Of course, this is the best Temple team this solar system has ever seen, right? Okay then. We had a good, solid week, considering the mass hysteria surrounding last week's flop of a game. Lots of great stuff by our staff and the readers. So enjoy, and let's hope Penn State's first "road" game is a successful one from start to finish. None of that "Let's spot Temple a 10-point early lead" bullcrap, okay?

To be fair...
I think that opposing team was a perennial power in the state. At least that’s the impression I got from a separate article on it. So it’s not like he was, uh, rolling up the score on some hapless losers.

Seems pretty quiet so far. I’m in central North Carolina — not in/near Happy Valley — so am not aware of the inside news. Stay tuned, and we will try to update you. Kick-off in about 50 minutes.
You are wearing Penn State blue, correct? Navy still has the blue ship unis, right?
I'd like to have two Armies -- one for display, with lovely guns, tanks, little Soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals and dear little regimental officers, who would be deeply concerned over their General's bowel movements or their Colonel's piles; an Army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the REAL ONE, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the Army in which I should like to fight.

Hopes/wishes for the game.
(1) No injuries — for either team.
(2) Bolden and receivers are finally on the same page.
(3) Redd/Beachum combine for over 200 rush yards (which means the OL is knocking people off the LoS).
(4) First Penn State time-out does occur until second part of second quarter.
(5) Lion fans who have been teetering on the edge of despair see enough to encourage them about the team, coaches, etc., etc.

I just am wondering where all this hate came from? I mean, have we been rude or mean at all to them? Unless you count beating them for 30 years rude or mean, but seriously? Why the vitriol? Is it Golden-oriented?

I think they believe they will win this year
so are feeling a false sense of confidence that hopefully will be destroyed by the end of the first half. Penn State 31 – 7 in the first half.

Allowing it to be a close game last year probably gave them a reason to have hope that they could actually maybe beat us in the near future.

apparently not. Because they haven’t exactly been nice and friendly, either
are you talking about our comments?
because we haven’t been anywhere near the “fuck Temple” sentiment. Most of us say that we expect a win, but a loss isn’t out of the realm of possibility…we just severely disbelieve that Pierce will lay 200 yards and TDs on us.

I'd disagree
And as one of the few temple fans at happy valley last year, let me tell you, for many penn state fans the feelings are mutual.
But you’ve been kicking our asses for 70 years, give us a break for being a little ornery. lol
wow, I have yet to meet a Penn State fan that has hate for Temple
And again, I understand some disappointment because you haven’t beaten us in a while, but there is a big difference between that sentiment and being this hostile.

well..
Winconsin isn’t in the same state. You don’t have to listen to Winsonsin students trash your school, neighborhood and football program. And winsonsin hasn’t been handing you L’s for 70 years.
Like PSU_84 said earlier, it’s very much a little bro/big bro complex. If you’ve ever been the little brother you’d understand.
Sorry,
but if there are people “trashing” you school and football program, then it is a serious minority. Where have you been when we have been rooting for Temple in every other game for 6 years? We have also been giving the team loads of respect in the previews of the game this week.
Ok, many are guilty of trashing the neighborhood. The same can be said for loads of good schools in bad areas. If I said Columbia is in a terrible neighborhood, would you think I was making a major negative commentary on the school?

I'd like to have two Armies -- one for display, with lovely guns, tanks, little Soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals and dear little regimental officers, who would be deeply concerned over their General's bowel movements or their Colonel's piles; an Army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the REAL ONE, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the Army in which I should like to fight.

if no Tech or NC State, WVU

Good
About time the ACC came out of the closet and admitted it just wants to be a basketball conference.
Luring recruits with my new "Posting HD" scheme since '08.
But how can it be a basketball conference
when VTech is so ELITE at football?
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
You know
after a moment of thought, it’s not a bad play by the ACC. They’re essentially conceding the fact that they suck at football and can’t ever compete with the PAC 34, the Big 10, or the SEC, so they might as well specialize in the #2 money-making sport.

it is good for money too; adds a decent CFB program, two good Bball programs and two TV MARKETS. Should boost the tv money.

Shifts the mass of the conference a little bit closer to Boston College too.

need more coffee….give me back the old days on ships, I could have whiskey with my coffee
I'm worried.
Last night was a clear night, and I looked up expecting to see Orion and the Big Dipper, but to my shock and horror, the stars were aligned — just as the Temple blogger predicted. Neat rows and columns of stars. Then I noticed that these rows and columns, in fact, formed a perfect Temple ‘T’.
I hope Joe comes to his senses and forfeits. I don't want to see our players get mowed down.
