We Are ...

- excited to be back at the Cotton Bowl
- curious to see how the offense does with the former OC not in the booth calling the plays
- concerned about how PSU's D matches up against Memphis's O
- glad they have a dome at the AT&T stadium, as it's raining in Dallas
- looking forward to sending out the seniors and those that don't return on a positive note
- hoping this game creates a nice foundation for next season

... Penn State!!!

How, how are we going to cope with all the ‘southern’ speed! All these big slow ‘northern’ boys can’t possible keep up!

Hopefully the Memphis players ate too much BBQ at their breakfast this morning.

But to be up for four hours, our guys better take Viagra.

The real question is, should we fire the new OC before he even calls a play or give him a chance?

I would.

I want one more ASS. BEATING. for 2019!

 

[PennStateNate]

I miss the true Cotton Bowl.

Was just about to post this. very poor showing.

they have about 30-40% of the lower field sections as well on the Penn State side

Hmmm. We typically travel much better than this. I'm home nursing my wife after foot surgery. Blame me I suppose.

Desmond Howard picked us to win. WE ARE DOOOOOMED!

 

[uscgPSU]

PSU has the tendency to allow unknown QB’s from smaller schools look like the second coming of Joe Montana. Let’s hope that trend stops today.

 

[HunterPSU96]

Sad and pathetic attendance by us, but then again I'm not there either so I'm at fault too.

 

[PennState_one]

I really dislike the fact that PSU has everything to lose in this game and Memphis has nothing at all to lose. Memphis loses the game, they were meant to lose. If PSU wins the game, they were supposed to win and if they lose, the world will seemingly end.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

The true Cotton Bowl is a dump. This is a much better experience for the players AND the fans.

True but Corso picked us to lose so there’s that...

When Memphis wins big they really show out

Friggin New Orleans Bowl in 2003, Memphis first bowl game in forever, saw 20,000 Memphis fans for the game with North Texas.

Final Fours get a ton of Memphis fans

When Memphis is really struggling, they get 15,000 if that many for home football games

Nearly every Memphis fan also recognizes a school the caliber of Penn State will have dominant defensive and offensive lines and if they click, they can win at will.

 

[PSU Soupy]

It does look like a cheerleader mismatch.
Not the USC mismatch but a mismatch nonetheless.

no fear, Corso picked Memphis

 

[mcruny42]

This is essentially the biggest game in Memphis' history, whereas this matchup would not even get me excited to go if it were at home. I don't blame people for not attending this as I didn't.

 

[Sproul]

All those prime seats in the Penn state section....they are available for $15 on stubhub. The same ones with the $300 face value from psu

Two years in a row, a no win bowl game.
Attitude will go a long way to determining the outcome.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Well, here we go. Hoping for the best.

we could win and not rise, or even fall in the ratings. Consider Auburn beating Minny and the winner of Bama-Michigan jumping us.

The radio station is 99.5, the bus out of State College. Let's go PSU!

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Doesn't look like we have anyone there.
