Seems like aren't too hot to trot with the horse puns...
Some Lane Stadium trivia... Lane Stadium now officially seats 65,632. IIRC, sections of the outdoor club seats were renovated to be bigger in width than standard bleacher spacing for more spectator comfort, therefore reducing the total count.
66233 was easy to remember, since 66/2=33. Now it's just a figure I've burned into my memory.
Im sorry French but...
French, I agree on the fact that getting upfield quickly on punts tends to increase the possibility of a long return...however, what seems to happen frequently is that a return right or left is called, with a wall setting up for the return, and then the punt goes to the opposite side. This creates an exposed return specialist with a long way to go to get to his protection scheme. I know what our returners in h.s. were told to do (fair catch as first choice, catch and out of bounds if close to the sideline, do your best otherwise), but what is the generally accepted way of handling that for returners at this level? I know too often you have guys trying to get to the protection wall, losing yardage after the catch, and leaving the fans generally unhappy. Is this a time for improvisation by the returner? Fair catch only?
You hold your tongue about Sean Glennon. He was a saint that rescued baby seals in the off season. He had no fault other than being the wrong kind of quarterback for our system.
no those were flip and fucks
Autographs in general I don't do much of. The only thing I really have autographed is a maroon and orange yankees hat from when they came and played at VT. I have Jeter, Aroid, Giambi, Shelly Duncan and Tony Pena. Aroid stole my silver sharpee so Jeter had to sign in black and it is hard to see. Bastard.
I really don't see Frank Beamer allowing a true Freshman to start at quarterback. I mean he redshirted Michael Vick and tried to redshirt Tyrod.... TWICE, but we were struck by the turnover woes of the one and only Sean Glennon
I always thought Wang was soft and terrible. It might have been coaching some but I remember watching him get blown up time and time again last year. He got pushed into LT 3 plays in a row at one point. He had no drive at all. He may be better at center but he was a terrible guard.
i really, really hated when they barked directly at me after they started coming back
Exactly. Plus all of those 1st round projections before last season. I know they don't always get those right (cough cough, Brady Quinn and Jamarcus Russell) but that is more Professionals that see the talent. Logan was crippled last year by pathetic game planners and play callers and the complete lack of a running game.
:( Don't burn my home.
I've got two spare bedrooms, two people apiece, and AMB can share the master stable.
My two favorite teams! I'm so excited for this matchup and Ill probably go both games at Beaver Stadium and Lane. I also wish that VT would join the BIG 10 just because I like those schools better....
My thoughts exactly
Is that a metric fuckton? Or are you talking about the fold-down sofa/beds we used to have in the apartments?
This Game almosat happened in 2006 Orange Bowl , I believe we would have beat them pretty good, we just blew it in the ACCCG agaisnt FSU who finished that season 9-4 we finished 11-2.
I must have missed, but care to elaborate?
That's really unfortunate because I know a lot of my Penn State friends have wanted to play us for years. Sad its taken this long.
So awesome, I just went from 6 to midnight.
"5...Spring Game...fans"
Although to be fair...it's 2 fans too many.
Yeah but you gotta think about tickets back then weren't worth squat. After the 99 season however, as you might imagine, they shot up rapidly and have yet to show any signs of slowing down.
oh god no.
Or catching passes from Mike Vick, Jr?
I would love aTm being our replacement. Especially since this replacement is supposed to be long term.
Just think of the rivalry that would be born. Two of the larger civilian/military schools with the same hard nose football mentality. Great fan bases and traditions.
Oh, and not to mention the love for colors in the maroon family.
