Official penn St thread

[Appftw]

Their older fans were pretty gracious, but walking through that campus to the stadium was a little harrowing. GaSo fans were more hospitable in my experience. Lots of “Appalayshun State sucks” and when they went up 2 scores the Penn State fans near me became incredibly obnoxious (yelling directly at App fans that we looked tired and that their little sister played better football). We tried to ignore it but the guy just kept yelling directly at us and it almost got ugly. I’ve been to every P5 game we played in the past 4 years and this is the only time I ran into this many a-holes. Musta been a bunch of Philadelphia eagles fans.

Coach just mentioned officiating in post game, in a round about way. Said he lost his composure on a few calls.

I’m glad. You never want to sound like sour grapes but this occasion called for SOMETHING to be said. I’m glad Satt has the nerve to tell the truth about the way the game was called, albeit appropriately tempered given the context.

We could see him raising hell from our seats all the way up in the stratosphere. A lot of those calls were downright ridiculous.

I'm surlrised that we still have fans with the "little old App State" mentality. During PSU's pregame Alma Mater the entire upper App section was chanting for our boys. The couple sitting behind me had the fucking nerve to say "Well we don't deserve to win after doing that." Let that sink in...

It was very disrespectful to be chanting during their alma mater especially after the hospitality of the PSU fans... let that sink in.

I respectfully disagree. We don’t show up to bend over and take one from a P5 team, we show up to get loud and support our team. No one was chanting anything negative towards PSU, that would be different.

Would you feel the same way if it were Georgia Southern or Troy?

I can imagine how incensed some of those very people would be if a group of opposing fans did that in KBS. It's called class. Never hurts to show it.

A time and a place for such chanting. If done intentionally at that moment, then that's poor taste. It's got nothing to do with "bending over."

Agreed. But if anyone wants to do that this Saturday... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Damn straight I would at
GSU or any school I would show respect for the alma mater. I think I would be very angry if Any School cheered over ours. To do so is classless . I hope we don’t reinforce a hillbilly image at CLT next week.

I’m actually really sad we lost this game, because we had three different moments where we should have won it outright:

When we scored the TD a little too early (If Moore goes down in bounds after getting the 1st down, we can drain the clock and chip shot a FG). I can’t blame him for going in to the end zone though, who’s could?

When it was 4th and 2 and Penn State converted with like 1 minute left.

The 56 yard field goal miss.

If any three of these moments went our way, we win. It seems like we really didn’t catch any breaks and still took Penn State to the limit. I’m sour because, unlike some of our othe P5 games, we flat out should have won this one. Should, not could.

So proud of the team, they were awesome. The coaching staff too. I blamed the TN loss on kicking and clock management. I thought Satterfield was excellent yesterday. On to Charlotte!

You have to remember that we were easily out numbered 50:1 in that stadium, I doubt our chants impacted anyone's ability to hear the band.

Regardless of whether that was classless or not, saying that our team "doesn't deserve to win" is an absolute no-go and a total embarrassment.

[smokeybandit]

Personally I thought it was kind of cool to see an opponent's fans chant loud enough to be heard over the alma mater

[Rekdiver]

Oh they heard us!!! Talked to several on campus today and they said we were loud. The point is there is a time for it all game and pregame sans The National Anthem and a schools alms mater.

[Stonewall]

Still replaying this one in my head. I’ve got the same feeling I had when Beasley caught that ball in the end zone in Raleigh only to have it waived off by the official. One play. One play. This one or maybe that one. One. The kid coming out of the end zone with our final kickoff. Had a shot at him inside the 10. I’ll feel this one awhile , and never forget it. You know we can run the table at this point. I’m not saying we will , but we can. Ok. On to Charlotte ....

I'm sorry that you had to go through that feeling....that's football and I have been there plenty of times before and it sucks. I'm not sorry for the result of the game but you folks seem pretty cool and your team played very well and it is one of those times that I am sorry that a good hard playing team had to lose. It's the bummer part of sports.

Off topic here, I was watching The BTN and the broadcasters were making their weekly predictions. Dave Wannstedt predicted that Pitt would beat PSU as evidenced by their performance against us, no respect for us whatsoever. I hope PSU runs the table, and this weekend beats the crap out of Pitt by a least three TDs! Wannstedt, what a jack ass!

Frankly, that's been the general response nationally. The take has been what's wrong with Penn State, less what a good performance by App State. It's impossible, in most cases, to judge a season by the season opener. It may turn out that PSU is not as good as many thought. Or, they could run the table.

[WataugaMan]

I know both teams are a hell of a lot better than the "experts" think, time will tell.

[GregPercussion]

Add this game to the list of losses that keep me awake at night...

Great game, the team really showed up. I was very impressed by Zac Thomas and the new defense players. If we can keep that momentum it should be a good season for us. Go Apps.

It doesn’t take much for Wanny (Pitt grad and former Pitt coach) to pick Pitt over PSU.

Just remember that Mr. Wannstedt coached at Pitt, and was the dumbass that didn't recognize Joe Flacco's talent (leading Joe to transfer to Delaware). He wouldn't know is a$$ from a hole in the ground.

[Stonewall]

Flacco didn't impress me the time I saw him play....

Not necessarily hap. ESPN radio has been talking about how underrated APP is and how we should be taken more seriously.
