Huhn has been committed to PSU for over a year fwiw, Falzone was fully aware that he was the second QB when he originally chose PSU.
Their fan base is miserable to listen to. Especially after Sandusky. One of my best friends was breaking down the expose/report that came out like it was the Warren Commission, trying to convince me that it was all a conspiracy. I love me a good conspiracy but even I had my doubts lol
Yes sir! I am out in the Lancaster area now, but I grew up in Nazareth. Went to college at Moravian and then moved out here for work.
I was ambivalent about them until moving to Central PA. The Penn State fans that I knew growing up didn't hate ND. But, out here it's virulent hatred towards them.
For a lot of NEPA-born Irish fans like me, particularly in Scranton proper, they really are like Michigan to us. Deep-seated. There are lots of reasons, but, personally, I’ve never encountered a more delusional fan base.
Didn't really care much about them prior to the Sandusky cover up, might have actually respected them before that. The whole thing was pretty damn sick, and then for the NCAA to rescind the punishments and basically give them a slap on the wrist? Heinous. Made it even worse when a few years later we lost all those wins for self reporting a few players cheating on some papers while Ped State got all their wins back for covering up a sexual predator! The logic completely escapes me. Their program is trash, right there with Michigan in my book. I just hate on Michigan more because I see douchey Wolverines all the time in Ohio.
That’s because you moved to an area in PA that really dislikes Catholics… even if I do love the Lancaster area.
Huhn has been committed to PSU for a long time. Falzone was the 2nd QB in the class. I was kinda shocked when they took his verbal to bring in a 2nd QB.
No joke. The anti-ND hatred definitely flows from a wider anti -Catholic attitude.
And they honestly should have remained with us.
Haha no, but I should. I usually just crack a joke about if they didn’t study, then they should have at least lit a candle at the grotto. That leads to some blank stares, then I pause and say “take your time, focus, and may God have mercy on your souls, good luck.” Haha
I’m not sure they could have. Sure they have a large following but they don’t have the same nationwide reach as ND and JoePa was trying to get them in a conference earlier than 93. Being independent is very difficult and only a few programs can realistically do it.
You may be right. But I think back then, they and others could have continued. I think the biggest problem was when the Big East started sponsoring football.
I do bet that they thought this
