Pro Tip: WAER radio does the games - also pre-game and a long post game. You can get the stream on line on most audio apps. I listen to it on the Audials app, but it's on others.I'm so sorry
He must have learned that from James Franklin at Penn State.

Yeah this was a weird moment. He acted insulted media would ask about Marlow redshirting but it was a follow up of Fran suggesting Marlow taking a redshort was a topic of discussion internally. I was confused by that.
On the blocked extra point, I'm pretty sure the announcer was wrong... The guy who blocked the kick was a lineman, and so he started in a stance and after the snap he just jumped clean through the A gap. It was weird... his blocker seemingly didn't know that the ball was snapped and never got his head up. He didn't actually hurdle anyone, which would be a penalty. The rule allows defenders lined up within a yard of the LOS to jump through the line (but not directly hurdle or jump on and push off a blocker). The rule applies more to players that are off the ball because they try to time up the snap, get a running start and hurdle the line.
Yep. I think that almost-intercepted throwback was my low point. An amazing character win.
Long talk after and a makeup call a minute later
It seems to me that rule of hurdling must have changed. I have seen it in pretty much every game we have played this year. It seems like as long as they are not lined up over the long snapper, than hurdling is legal again.
Wohlabaugh was in at LT and Joe Cruz was in at LG for a series early in the 4th. I’d have to go back and watch but it seemed like they were controlling the LOS
Same, it was pretty bad. I know I need to be a better fan, but this brought back memories of a rutgers game under gerg. I think we left at halftime. Only game I’ve ever left early. Almost did it again. Unsure why. It felt hopeless. The ’ng penalties are driving me crazy as are the special teams adventures.
That play was set up for a huge gain. We had like 3 blockers over there and what looked like only 1 VPI defender. If we can somehow catch that, it could have gone the distance.
Enough of this self deprecation. SU die hards have decades of scars to prove their mettle. How many other fans would stick by their team through the past 25 years?
My apologies. Your posts were the first ones I saw so I guess I did throw you under the bus there. Good point. No worries. The game thread is just pure lunacy and I’ll leave it alone. Again no harm intended.
7. He looked hurt
It’s possible, but it could quite have been intercepted for a touchdown the other way as well.
People trashing the staff at HT made no sense. Why blame them for that the OL line was OK D good outside of 2 drives we weren't making huge special teams mistakes we were just getting a bad outing from QB and WR the supposed strength of the team.
Conspiracy theory - re: drops - could it be how McCord was throwing the ball, OR if it was the ball?
I went to game and just now watching TV replay. So far into 3rd qtr they haven’t stopped talking about the two players who are out for VT. It seems almost every play they comment on it. I don’t know how anyone could have watched this live. Unbearable.
