Many tickets still available on SK.com

That's gotta be the single dumbest reason NOT to go to the game. Shit, I've got a buddy in from Utah, he can't wait to attend his first game this year regardless of all the crap.
Let's be frank. It's not exactly a destination game, and it's a night game in November. Do you really think Bama fans would flock to Rutgers under similar circumstances? Granted, it's shorter distance for many of us, but I simply have no desire to go after what I heard it was like last time.
This is what it's come to. At least with Flood, I always felt there was a chance -- albeit slim -- we'd pull an upset. With CA, I give us exactly zero chance to win this game. Going 1-0 doesn't sound so moronic anymore.
I've said this a million times, PSU has a huge NJ alumni base. The RU game is one where the alumni will travel well
You guys actually making fun of Penn State fans not wanting to buy tickets ($80) to watch them play a 2-8 team? Maybe this is even more evidence of a non-rivalry.
If the game gets the type of dismal home attendance anticipated, you can be sure this will be Rutgers last night game for a while.
100% wrong.
The only thing preventing a sellout and wild atmosphere like we saw in 2014 is the 2-8 record.
Oh, sorry about that.
I was just being a wise-ass. Nothing to do with tix. Someone asked how can you tell if a signing class is good or not. I basically said, you were the barometer. If you go ballistic, like you did about flood, we're in deep doo doo.
Ahhhh okay lol! Thanks! Well, so far, I've been spot-on about everything I've said re: Flood since Sept of 2013. Let's PRAY that I'm just as right about Ash and Co or we're in B1G trouble LOL!!! [cheers]
It's official:
Not only are all of the season ticket holders in my crew making it to a game, together, for the 1st time this season BUT we're looking for extras (all RU alumni/fans). I'm shocked, to be 100% honest, but love it nonetheless! A couple of these are guys who literally stopped coming to games the last couple of years, btw.

Since yesterday, around 200 tickets sold on SK.com
Still surprised Pen St fans have not gobbled them up, especially with their large alumni base in NJ/NY/EasternPa

Where did you get sensitive and emotional from my response? You know you're going to lose so you start a preemptive thread about low PSU ticket purchases? The game is Saturday. There are no facts until after the game is played and tickets have been sold. What you have here is speculative dribble. Is this where the pride of your New Jersey Fandom comes from? My school won't sell any tickets for Senior night so I will try to somehow turn it around on the visiting squad? Again this is just an odd passive aggressive thread.
TV cares about ratings. And if RU fans aren't coming, they sure are going to watch the game at home. Rutgers has been very good to the ratings. My son has wanted to be at a packed stadium and thought this would be the best chance. We will be there in our scarlet rooting the Scarlet Knights on.
There only appear to be about 1,000 tickets left on SK.com. I predict that this game will be a sellout and many RU fans will have also sold out by selling their tickets to the highest PSU bidder. I'll be there with my usually tailgating buddies. Go RU!
Too long. It should be the how your program is identified forever. You guys don't think so but that's how most non PSU fans view your program
There's a couple things I think holding PSUers back. 1. This year we already sold out Pitt, most of us that went ended up with Pitt season tickets or at least a mini plan at $125/ea. 2. We're anticipating a potential B1GCCG. 3. And a major bowl. 4. If L'ville loses tonight then we have a clearer path to the playoffs too.
Not sure why Pen St fans get so riled up so easily over facts.

DONT sell Tickets to the CULT..PSU jersey traitors are trying hard to get tickets..
Enter Rutgers, a objectively bad team hosting a regional rival with the hopes of doing something bigger and better than anything in the past decade. A prime time for an upset indeed.
Fortunately for Penn State there is a bit of a built in reason for players to not overlook this game. 19 players hail from New Jersey, nothing gets you going quite like playing in front of fans and perhaps more importantly, taking on the team you saw growing up.
So does that keep you focused?
"Yeah, absolutely," Tight end Mike Gesicki said this week. "It's good for a lot of the guys on the team. A lot of guys are from Jersey or close to Jersey. So I think it's a great opportunity for all of us to go in there. Rutgers is a good football team. They have a lot of talent. They have a great head coach. They're going to be more determined and more focused than ever to get a win."
"So I think playing there in a night game on a big stage, all that stuff and a great atmosphere, I think it's a great opportunity for us. We're not overlooking anybody, and we're excited for this opportunity."
And as you might expect, Penn State's star tight end won't be short on his own fans in the stands.
"My dad texted me this morning and said, If you can get a hundred tickets, I can get a hundred people to go. So I'm definitely scrapping for some tickets right now. I'm asking everybody. Doing whatever it takes."

Nobody cares about your feelings. In fact, we dont even care about you. If we did we'd be on your site instead of you on ours.
