Any Way PSU Game is Called?

The events that have transpired over the last few days really make this a HUGE game. This will be the most anticipated game of the week from a national perspective. Not because two power houses are clashing, but because of all of the attention this story is getting from the media.

I'm very interested to see how the Penn State football team will respond to all of this.

I think the Huskers will come out and play much better than last week. I really want a win this week!! No cancelations please!

You're giving the protestors another day to spool up and multiply their numbers, and the reports were that they were rather unruly last night. Add in some alcohol, multiply the number of students, liberally sprinkle in visiting Nebraska fans...and it's a recipe for disaster, especially if we win.

Unless Penn State authorities can guarantee the safety of the Nebraska fans going to this game, there's no way in hell it should happen. And at this point, would anyone trust what comes out of the mouth of a Penn State authority at this point?

 
I just read this on the Penn State Facebook spot (take it with a grain of salt?):

Robert James PSU Alert: NCAA will hold a news conference at 3PM EST to announce the cancellation of the Nebraska/Penn State football game on Saturday Nov.12 due to threats and behavior of the Penn State student body.

Does anyone know if this is true? Has anyone else heard anything from the NCAA?

Negative. Haven't heard that. It's also coming from the PSU Facebook page. Who knows what the hell is going on down there right now.

May not be the middle east where we're fighting a war, but stupidity does abound down there right about now.

Don't know if it's true yet, I doubt it, I guess we'll see. The thing is this game can't just be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. With us being so late in the season I don't know when they would do the game? Penn State would need to forfeit or NU would need to forfeit. Just move it to Lincoln, we'll take care of the rest.

Hello, stranger. Welcome to HuskerBoard. ;)

 
Ya, the game can't be moved. It would have to be a forfeit or just never played. The B1G Championship is December 3rd. That's our only open date left.

@LaneGrindle:

I don't care if Joe Pa was fired over the phone...one phone call by Paterno 2 police might have prevented the whole thing from happening.

I think it kind of weird that people are concerned and upset about the way the Paterno firing was handled but give a pass to the way the molestations were handled. The board of trustees decided a phone call was best to deal with the situation. Wonder where they got that from? Oh yeah that's exactly what you thought was enough to do Joe.

To Joe Pa regarding your phone call firing:

Penn St will regret not cancelling the rest of the season when they travel to Madison and Columbus. That is going to be ugly. The boo's might be deafening.

I could see a reflection of their treatment of Husker fans happening. If they harass our team/fans, and/or riot after the game, I think they're in for a pretty bad time at Madison and Columbus.

agreed, and it is effing embarrassing to see joe paterno feel sorry for himself. i always saw him as a selfish old man, and now he appears to be a selfish, evil old man.

I wonder if JoPa will be "Pete Rosed" from the record books with his career wins, and then the title would go back to Bobby Bowden.

If the Wisconsin and Ohio State fans blame Penn State players for the acts of a PSU coach who retired over ten years ago that doesn't reflect very well on their powers of reason. I hold out higher hopes for my fellow Americans. The whole country can't be Ricky Lake. Can it?
