    I cried after reading the passage about how much they've fucked over the blue hairs with night games.

    The fucking greed in this sport is depressing.

    Now that I have a second team to root for, sigh, which itself has a fair number of blue hairs in order to get to 100K+ attendance, I'm going to be curious how many of them are sick of night games or if it is viewed differently.

    Of PSU's 7 home games, 5 have start times: 7:30 for WVU (NBC national game on Labor Day) and Iowa (White out game), noon for Delaware and Michigan (Fox national noon game) and 3:30 for UMass. The two without kickoff times are Indiana and Rutgers. God the bottom half of that conference is ass.

    Anyway, if you don't want night games, you miss out on the 2nd and 3rd best home games, but get the best one. My hunch is that because no one lives there going to a game for season ticket holders is a full weekend commitment every week. You get your RV, get your hotel or wherever you stay, and commit. If you don't stay over, and do the 6 hour round trip drive from where people actually live, you give up the night games to people who do want those or to students who didn't get season tickets but want the night game parties.
    If a Lambo had been cornholing teenage boys for years in the UW showers with Don James being aloof about it, our program would have closed shop.

    Pedo State fans have a different level of devotion.
    Arguably Pedo State cares more about football than any other university.

    I made this poont to DDY (rip) years ago in some thread about UW's place in the world and which schools care.

    Clearly. Few fan bases come back from that level of disgrace with their heads held high.

    I'm in. Which I will strongly deny and blame on being "hacked" if anyone I respect ever asks me about my association with this place.

    Keep up the good work Stalin.

    Thank you, kind sir

    I don't know if I can justify $129 again since my post count is down and I'm sadly now one of the Tug regular types but I'll give $50 or something

    Last game with your Dad. Bittersweet leaning on the heart-ripping side. My fren read it and it choked him up.
