I would guess the field has changed since we played there in 1978. In 1978, there was plenty of room for a mascot included the Colorado one.

As to NCAA rules, well, we know how they are administered. Guess the NCAA would band Alabama's band from playing if the Tide was playing instead of SMU ...

Is this normal? See last point

So the SMU band has to travel 1,000 miles to the middle of nowhere and they are not allowed to play at all during the game?

Looks like these are the protocol/rules that each site is required to ...

Have fun with that drive. . Watch your speed for state troopers at the Pennsylvania border with Ohio and on the PA turnpike (I-76).

Thanks again psu00, it was really nice of you to come on here and share this info!



No problem. I know SMU fans are making a long trip on short notice into unfamiliar territory. On top of that, you’re running into Pennsylvania winter. Wind chill during the game is predicted at 12-14 degrees. Too ...

3 quick questions to decide what’s best- Where are you staying? How much walking are you able to do? Are there any special places/ restaurants/ etc where you have reservations or that you plan to visit (ie are you staying in town or plan on hitting the area or the outskirts of town?).

I agree with SMU Pom Mom. Luckily there’s no rain in the forecast. It’s just cold but not too bad as it’s still in the 20s. Any minimal passing precipitation that falls would be snow. Much better than the rain.

I’m not sure what most of you are used to so at the risk of sounding obvious and ...

Anyone else staying in Harrisburg Friday night and planning to watch games and drink some beverages? I was thinking of going to one of the sports bars downtown near the Hilton, but wanted to see if any other fans were planning to do anything or there was anything formal planned. There are some ...

I think this article is mostly correct: the difficulty for us will be the weather and the crowd. But to fact-check them a bit: the game will be in the daytime, not night. That is the silver lining. Also ...

Added a few more (#8-11).

Which brewery makes the best stuff? New England IPA

I’ll build on this question. Looking for some place to eat on Friday night. Doesn’t have to be fancy. Prefer non-chain. Burger, pizza, etc., local-ish beer a plus. Just a good place to hang out and watch the first game.

As for gameday, we’re ...

I'll take you up on your offer.

You’ll find everything at PSU tailgates but that’s more a Wisconsin thing.

Don’t know if I have the best answer for that. State College is a small college town with your usual restaurants that will all have a cheesesteak option. Can’t say I’ve ever heard a discussion on the best cheesesteak in town. Nothing beats the steaks in Philly. A lot involves the fresh bread and ...
