OT: D1

[IUPFan69]

You know what is more embarrassing?

The fans in Ann’s Bush storming the field after getting a one second gift from the refs so their humiliated team gets a fluke Hail Mary winning pass to win over a MAC team they were favored by 27 points to beat….

100% agree with you!

Mercyhurst's largest donor in 2026 is New Mexico State University. NMSU paid Mercyhurst $360,000 to fly to Las Cruces and get their asses kicked 51-14. Now that's why they moved up to D1. Drop hockey and your football players girlfriends can watch their boyfriends asses get kicked on ESPN+. Plus maybe you'll beat Stonehill this year.

Let’s face it…their hockey program was never going to compete with the big programs..you think a kid would pick The Lake Show over playing in a fancy arena in Centre County for a well funded program?

They made every wrong turn but good riddance to them.

Shocked and saddened to see that former Penn State and Chicago Bears RB Matt Suhey passed away at the age of 68. Suhey was best known as Walter Payton's blocker. They called the Suhey's the first family of Penn State football. His two brothers also played for Penn State. Suhey's father, Steve, was an All-American for PSU. Steve Suhey married PSU HC Bob Higgins' daughter. Higgins preceded Rip Engle as HC, who preceded Joe Paterno. Higgins, Suhey's grandfather, was an All-American player at PSU in the 1920's. So, the family legacy at Penn State was over 100 years.

They weren't going after those kids. They were competing with Bobby Mo, Ferris State, Lake Superior State, Niagara, etc.

Penn State made a very rare jump immediately to the top tier of D1 hockey, but $65M will do that for you.

I just think they’ll be joining Loretto Central Catholic in D3 before you know it…

One of the best. You don't see blocking backs anymore that stick in your memory. I remember him from attending my first game at Beaver Stadium. God Bless.

I remember from back when I was a kid, you didn't get to pick and choose which football game you watched. It was always whatever game ABC decided you got to watch. There weren't games on other channels. Therefore watching Grambling, Penn State and Nortre Dame highlights every Sunday was huge for a little kid addicted to football. Suhey was a tough dude. I still remember the neck rolls he and Penn State used. It kind of looked like they were homemade.

I will never forget playing against him in jr. high school. He attended Westerly Parkway jr. high, which was 1 of 2 JH's in State College at the time. It was a big deal because he was a phenom. Our coaches told us (we were undefeated at the time) that just because his father was an All--American and his grandfather was an All-American, yada, yada, yada. I think they were just playing with us. I think he scored on his first 4 times he touched the ball (we might have stopped him once or twice, I don't remember) and the score was 28-0 in the first quarter when they took him out of the game.

He was really advanced for his age. He was in 9th grade then. The next year in 10th grade he was 1st Team All-State RB when there was only 1 All-State Team because there were no different divisions. That feat was unprecedented at the time.

Also, his dad, Steve, was the Central PA rep for Josten's class rings and he would go around to all the schools to take kids' orders. They were celebrities in Central PA.

Joel Klatt has an excellent interview with Mike Pereira, giving some expert insight on the situation. Per the video the B1G released, the replay officials made the correct call based on what it showed leaving the MAC and Western Michigan with really nothing to dispute. But they completely ignore the tv broadcast feed and the obvious discrepancy between the clocks and went with the clock only they could see. Technically what they did might have been ok, but it certainly looks shady as hell to the millions of people who watched the game.

Stadium lights down in Tallahassee.

Game start delayed.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

FSU and SMU have agreed to play in a partially lit stadium. Very limited communication devices.

Kickoff now at 915pm

This will be make for some great eventual lawsuits.

Funny you bring up the neck rolls. Most of my high school teammates were big Penn State fans. Inevitably, we probably had the most neck rolls per capita in the conference. Even our QB would wear one on defensive practice days.

Neck Rolls, Full cage facemasks, pads up and down your arms and huge shoulder pads, those were the days ... sigh
