I am encouraged that the rain forecast is minimal and much of the remnants of Helene have already dissipated per the current radar.

 

[NedFromYork]

Forecast says no precipitation noon to 200 am+. What say the locals? Thinking of getting two tickets. Do I have to prepay parking?

Accuweather showing spotty rain. They are showing showers at 7 and 11. I think they just throw them into the forecast to exemplify that it is hit or miss. I expect a wet field with some misty rain from time to time.

Do.i need a parking pass ahead of time?

You should be fine, but parking is more expensive and farther away. May want to grab one from a scalper on the side of the road when you get there

It’s a wet one in Lot 31

 

[BOSCO2]

Plenty of scalpers downtown with parking passes. Go there first.

Officials working hard for Michigan today.

That was such horse manure. Man do they get every break or what? Even the Minny TD catch at the end was not called even though it was clear as day. At least they reviewed it and overturned it but it makes you wonder how they missed the call to begin with.

Whisky is giving it to SC so far today.

It's been funny to watch people overreact to all the early season games. A win in the first game against a blah LSU squad and everyone was panicking about USC.

Not to jinx things but I’m excited like to see our defense against that USC offense.

Gotta beat Illinois first

I'm watching. They are controlling both LOSs.

Absolutely. 1-0.

[PSUSignore]

Deluca out, Franklin said Wednesday that if that happened Speca will get some reps so that's something to watch at LB. Also will they put Carter at LB at times today? Cam Wallace also out, haven't heard much about him since getting bent over late last week, probably because he's 3rd string but still an important piece given that we rotate Singleton and Allen so much.

As simple as snow ❄️, until our avalanche buries you.

Still alot of depth unable to play.

 

[Delcolion915]

Too many injuries. They better grow up fast, and tonight.

Pregame interview with Drew, “What’s your biggest takeaway from last year?”

“You’re never as good as you look and you’re never as bad as you look.”

Joepa still getting it done.

 

[GregInPitt]

Illinois QB warming up didn't look to stout. Wonder if he'll survive a good hit from Carter, DDS or Vilbert......

I'm looking for Rojas to break out tonight. He really hasn't had a splash game yet.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State played the Bret Bielema 'whatever the hell that is' quote about White Out energy beforet his one. Beaver Stadium is pumped. Penn State won the toss and is going to kick.

 

[BudatPSU]

Let’s go state

 

[GregInPitt]

First IL completion was too easy.......

 

[ryoder1]

Defense needs to step up.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Trying to delay my comments until its been seen on TV, so trying not to spoil but Penn State undsciplined on this first drive. Abdul Carter jumped offsides (it was declined due to a Illinois first down) and now Jaylen Reed was called for unncessary roughness for a late tackle.
