  1. I played magic the gathering for most of my childhood. This is a card that was part of a set in the late 90’s and for the entirety of this pandemic, every time I’ve seen an anti masker in public I can’t help but picture this in my head.

    The easier way is still to say, "Would you get on an airplane if you knew you only had a 99% chance of surviving the flight?"

    And also some higher percentage of long term complications of you do survive.

    I’m surprised by the middle finger reactions to this post (clearly I’m naive - I’m sure this comment will draw similar negatives). With a COVID death toll of 660K+ in the last 18 months, it is surprising to me to see the stadiums as packed as they have been.  

    The games may or may not drive spikes, but I would expect that by the end of the season a bunch of college football fans (more than 1K?) will have contracted a fatal case of the virus from game attendance.  Even if I’m wrong, I’m sure that others have taken a similar cautious position.  I might take on extra risk in my life to see a Texas/OU game in person, but not to see us play an exposition game against Rice or Kansas.  
     

     

    All of this. This past weekend was the first time I wasn’t in the stands for a white out at penn state and it was 100% because sitting shoulder to shoulder and then packed like sardines to get to the ramps seemed to pose an unnecessary risk with an unvaccinated 5 year old at home. 

    For auburn there were plenty of people happy to take the seats of people making that same decision. For Villanova or Rutgers, not so much.

    High ticket prices, shitty opponents and overbuilt stadiums, Kyle Field shouldn't be over 90,000.

    Penn State seemed pretty damn full to me.

    It was full because it was a night game against a ranked sec team. This weekend is Villanova at noon. I expect it will be closer to 90k than 110k.

    OSU still has a lot of problems to fix. I’m going to be nervous about every conference game. It’s a good thing they get PSU in Columbus. On the same Saturday that Penn State visits Ohio State, (Oct. 30,) Michigan will visit Michigan State. That day is probably going to be huge in deciding the B1G East. 

    Osu has problems to fix but they have plenty of time to fix them. They have 3 weeks then an off week before they get tested again @ IU the week before they host psu. 

    I think it’s pretty safe to chalk up the W for osu at home every year until psu proves they can can do it again. I’ve been to too many nightmare games in the horseshoe. Top of the list is Anthony morelli working the quick outs in the first half and then refusing to recognize that osu adjusted at halftime and started jumping the routes and watching him throw 3-4 pick sixes in the second half  

    Even if they win this game this is a suspect Auburn team that’s probably no better than 5th or 6th in the sec west. 

    the win at Wisconsin was a good one but Wisconsin played well enough to win that one. 

    mid nothing else, the big ten east is more interesting than it’s been in a while. 

  6. I think they need to take the ejection out of the targeting call. I’ve seen so many guys ejected already this year that have no business being ejected. Make the ejection on the 2nd targeting.

    This may be the third time in 20 years I’ve rooted for Auburn.  Pretty sure they got they asses kicked both of the previous times.

    Well let’s make it 3. 

  8. The sec refs in the psu game just called intentional grounding on psu on a 30 yard pass where the wr ran the wrong route and the qb had no pressure. Then somehow made it a loss of 2 downs. The play was on 1st, they turned the next play into 3rd. Psu ended up having to punt on 3rd down because the refs said it was 4th.

    Wow, the Nits had a guy who was wide open but the QB didn’t throw it to him. Instead he threw it to another guy who was wide open. Touchdown PSU. 7-3 Lions. 

    Clifford will be their downfall this season. @osu and @iowa will likely be their two losses this year.

    I have to go for business a few times a year and a go to a PSU game each season (though in the governors box so a bit different than anyone else). The erector set stadium sucks. Parking sucks, every with the VIP pass. The city is 1.5 hours away from a real airport. there is. It arts or culture. It’s awful in every way.  I have no idea how they get any athlete not from PA to play there.

    I’m certain that at the auburn game Saturday night the recruits and coaches will be most concerned with the exterior facade of the stadium and the parking situation. 

  11. Curious what yinz guy’s opinion is on football stadiums and transmission.  I decided to not go to the psu-auburn game this weekend because the chance of catching it and then transmitting it to my unvaccinated 5 year old seemed like an unnecessary risk. I feel like the risk of me, vaccinated with pfizer in May, catching it in an open air stadium is fairly low. Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought much about it, but with WV now leading the pack in cases per capita, it only seems like a matter of a week or two until rural PA is frothing with covid.

    Penn St, yes. You’d be nuts to leave Georgia and Florida for any school - if those schools are rolling.  Kirby is a UGA grad  

     

    Fucking auto correct. 

    I just can’t see being any of those coaches in their current situations and seeing USC as a better opportunity. 

  13. 13 is the most, but what is typical?

    The big ten playing conference games week 1 added some losses that typically wouldn’t be there. Teams like Louisiana Lafayette being ranked added to it. 

    Psu-wisc week 1, Indiana being ranked, Iowa and ISU both being ranked, La Lafayette being ranked are all out of the ordinary and added 4 ranked losses.

    Cubs and Pirates combined for 3 grand slams in today's game.  Think that ties the record.

    Crawl during the ND game said it was the first game with 3 go ahead grand slams.
