I didn't miss your point and your dumbing-down "relativist" point that the "success" of University Program (and its Alumnus' pride in those successes) should be judged solely on wins and losses and "wins and losses" alone (i.e., "the ends justifies the means" versus "the ends NEVER justifies the means") is nonsense as far is this PSU Alumnus is concerned! I doubt you're even a PSU Alumnus, so don't lecture me about what I am, and am not, allowed to be "proud of."
This is among the reasons why my love for all things PSU is waning

I agree in that 3K is crazy and no one will most likely pay that.....but if you want to ask no problem with that as this is America. I see some on stubhub for those games listed at 3500, not sure if same person. I picked up one for Nebraska game for 195, which I thought was reasonable.
I also agree with MtNittany that there is no reason they could not have enlarged the ORV lot or moved the gameday RV lot to allow for more spots as this is a GREAT PSU tradition that my family loves. I was very happy to score my pass....even thought I still don't have in hand....so hopefully I will get it soon once they actually get out to the owners. Have been reading with great interest the few threads on here about ticket/passes delay in shipping, so I not too worried yet.

Again genius, Cornell is the Public Land Grant University in the State of New York (i.e., the actual school that is comparable to PSU's Public Founding) - are you really trying to suggest that Cornell is "free"? The "State University System of New York" (i.e., CUNY, SUNY-Buffallo, SUNY-Binghamton, etc...) are similar in structure to PA's "State University System" (i.e., Edinboro, LHU, Slippery Rock, etc...). However, NY State's named and dedicated "Land Grant Public Institution" is Cornell and Pennsylvania's is "The Pennsylvania State University". Your comparison of PSU to to the "SUNY System" is not "analogous" regardless of how many times you continue to claim it is "analogous". You simply repeatedly claiming it is so, doesn't make it so!
Lol. Cool story bro. I did not get caught about anything. Since when is ORV at Beaver Stadium? You typed at Beaver Stadium. I am not looking for a way out.
Funny you cannot own your words and get all mad. Get a life.
Try again, Chewie. MIT and Tuskegee are both private and both land grant. Both Cornell and the State of New York consider the four statutory or contract colleges to be private even though the ag school has "New York State College" as part of its official name.
You really ought to pursue pretzel-twisting as profession.
Sounds like a bargain. Parking your RV for ND- UGA will set you back $3500.00.

Send him a response and tell him your displeasure. Seriously! That price is ridiculous
It's not the seller that is to blame. Free country and all w/ transferable passes. It's the stupidity of the U to create an underground market (and eschew revenue) for a product that is as available as a tractor and a reel mower are.
Hemingway is going to come back from the dead and take his shotgun to you instead this time.
I hereby dub thee, Sir Bushwood the Verbose.
and why does at beaver stadium have to be one of those said lots that you bring up? there are countless lots that can be used for the overnight RV that are around the stadium. I consider at Beaver Stadium any lot that is in use on game day. You consider it the paved commuter lots only why?
Of course he can respond to the ad and let him know his displeasure. Free market? Free speech!!!!
I hear you. I remember 30-40 years ago, I'd game day park (legally and for free) in a campus lot. I used to prefer a certain small lot that would empty really fast.
You got that from my post? Seriously? Well, then I won't make any effort to clarify it for you as I doubt I have much chance of success. You were right though. I'm not really a Penn State alum. I was not accepted at PSU so I had to set my sights lower. I got my BA from Yale and a law degree from Harvard. After all these years you were the 1st person to call me out. I'm going to put you on ignore. You see right through me.
Wrong again oh great "Oz".....and here is the LINK to prove it directly from Cornell's website! Gee, why would "NY State Resident's" be SUBSIDIZED by the State of New York within the "Land Grant (State Contract) Colleges" versus "Non-NY State Residents" OR attending the "Private Endowed Colleges" as a "NY State Resident" to the tune of 50%!?!? ["Non-NY State Residents" pay the same amount whether they attend the "Private Endowed Colleges" or the "Land Grant (State Contract) Colleges" - the identical amount "NY State Residents" attending the "Private Endowed Colleges" pay - $52,853. Only "NY State Residents" attending the "Land Grant (State Contract) Colleges" pay the reduced NEW YORK STATE SUBSIDIZED Tuition Rate for the General NY State Public of $35,483].
So take your arrogant, wrong as usual Great Oz "little pud behind the curtain" self off to gnaw and chew on your "wrong as per usual" bone.....
Here is what Cornell lists at their website under the "Cost to Attend" tab:
Again, Tuition for "NY State Resident" attending "Land Grant (State Contract) Colleges" = $35,483.
Tuition for "NY State Resident" attending "Private Endowed Colleges" = $52,853.
Tuition for "Non-NY State Resident" regardless of what College they attend at Cornell = $52,853.
But according to the ever-stupendous and stupefying "Oz", the "Land Grant Colleges" aren't NY State-Subsidized based on NY Residency via NY State Legislation (i.e., making them Public Subsidized Colleges to the "NY State Public".....otherwise known as a "NY State Resident") - go figure!
Just so I have this straight. It's ok for you to call people names and go on and on and on with your rants but you call out others who call you names and say they violate board rules? Classic BUSHWOOD
Pure entertainment.
Who are you supposed to be? Here less than a month with 11 posts and picking fights.
Really simple, you stupid little dipshit:: New York state residents pay a lower tuition at Cornell's four statutory schools because of a contract between the private University and the State of New York. A similar arrangement exists between New York and Alfred University for the New York State College of Ceramics. By your logic that must make Alfred both a land grant and state university. Oh, and you still haven't explained how MIT and Tuskegee are private.
I don't know what' funnier, watching you twist yourself in a ball of yarn or the population of this board, which gets smaller on a daily basis, who believe you have anything of value to say.
And about those board rules, asscheese...
Just so I have this straight, where did I call this poster a name in the post of mine he responded to as you are accusing me of? Gee, a FALSE ACCUSATION MADE-UP LIE by you - another Board Violation upon me, go figure. Consider yourself reported.
OUTRAGE.

Simple explanation; as with almost everything else Chewie makes up board rules as he goes along. Ordinarily, I'd applaud creativity, but in his case I haven't seen anything that I would expect from anyone older than eight.
But gee. You do it all the time and did it in the very next time you responded to fairgambit. Well gee it's a trend with you
If you're not aware that PSU Isn't a state school then you need to do some research into the difference between the "PA State System of Higher Education Schools (PASSHE)" and the "PA Commonwealth System of Higher Education aka PA State Related Universities".
There are 4 PA State Related Universities - Pitt, Penn State, Temple and Lincoln University.
There are 14 PASSHE schools -
- Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
- California University of Pennsylvania
- Cheyney University of Pennsylvania
- Clarion University of Pennsylvania
- East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania
- Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
- Indiana University of Pennsylvania
- Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
- Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania
- Mansfield University of Pennsylvania
- Millersville University of Pennsylvania
- Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania
- Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania
- West Chester University of Pennsylvania
Only 4 of the Colleges are Publicly Subsidized and identified as "Land Grant Colleges" as the link makes quite clear. Hysterical that you continue to maintain that these 4 Colleges are not CLEARLY the named NY State Land Grant Institutions named as such by NY State Government Legislation (i.e., Publicly Subsidized) - go figure. Yea, you really won another round of your self-declared winner bone-chewing contest.....LOL.
I make up Board Rules? You are the party initiating the name-calling as the record clearly demonstrates! BTW, you are laughably wrong about Cornell not being the NY State GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIZED Land Grant Institution via NY State Government Legislation for specific Colleges (namely the Colleges SPECIFIED within the Land Grant Legislation). Cornell's Land Grant Colleges are without question the analogous comparison to PSU, not the SUNY System, but keep chewing your bone Ozzy, it looks like there's plenty left there on that dinosaur bone.
They are all "Public Institutions" given the definition of the term. Moreover, there is only one named "Land Grant" Flagship Institution created by the Government of Pennsylvania (its founding creation, legislation and charter makes it defacto a Public Insitution) to act in such capacity. PSU is different than every other school you list in this regard, yes it is a "Public Institution" as this list confirms, but it is the ONLY institution on the list CREATED by the Government of Pennsylvania via specific Legislation to be endowed as, and act as, the State's Flagship "Land Grant University" under the Federal Morrill Act of 1862.
Another know-nothing non-PSU Alum chimes in with his irrelevance....go figure! I hereby dub thee Lame-o Apparent Douchey Villanova Lawyer The Supreme.
Thanks for the history lesson but the last time I looked PSU wasn't a private Ivy League University.
I think PSU is a great school but it is one of the most expensive in the B1G.
Funny you mention that... as an undergrad back in 85/86/87 i would argue PSU was THE perfect football experience... .. used to be everyone sat in the same bowl and pretty much got stuck with an aluminum bleacher that left marks in your fanny, when it rained we all shared the dampness, all got hit with marshmallows and mustard-packets... then came the decks in the N and the S endzones, club seating, luxury suites, video boards , piped-in crappy sound-bites and $3.00 bottles of water
Now that my kids are playing HS football, Hs FB has taken the crown as the best fooball experience... unruined...
Maybe as i get older and more-crotchedy, but i'm okay letting go of PSU being in the clutch of everything perfect in my mind
Once every few years I will go to a Delaware game, and it's sort of how you described the 80's era of Penn State games (less 80,000 people or so).
I imagine there are fans of every big time program that view the evolution of football into a big business like you do.
I enjoy my fall Saturdays at my son's cross country meets now. Fortunately they are held in the early morning so I usually make it home to catch the PSU game on the tele.
First time for everything. You made me laugh. I'm still laughing. Still. Done now. Thanks.
I'm not a lawyer but the rest is all true.

You are the one who attacked the culture created by Joe Pa... basically called is all phonies for believing that Penn State's grade experiment is a fraud.
I am a 2007 alum of the Eberly College of Science.
You just are the type of cynic with who I have nothing in-common.
BTW, I also have a Master's Degree from a top-5 ranked Private School within my professional discipline in addition to my PSU Undergraduate Degree, but I don't run around name-dropping it in some lame, pathetic attempt to define or validate myself AND arrogantly claim it as some pretext to pompously lecture others as to the pride they are permitted to take in their Alma Master's Sports Teams accomplishments on the field while maintaing some of the highest standards & accomplishments in the classroom (i.e., the manner in which these sports programs - both athletes & coaches - represent The University).
Some of most corrupt, pieces-of-garbage, ethicless, immoral, lying, self-serving, narcissistic, self-dealing, indecent lawyers-turned-politicians and abusive, tyrannizing "public servants" to ever grace "public life" received their undergraduate and/or jurisprudence degree from Harvad and Yale. True ethically-challenged lowlifes and immoral, self-dealing miscreants, you should be so proud!
