So alot of people are talking about it, but nobody is admitting to talking about it? Gotcha.Out here in Happy Valley, lots of buzz about this game, even though they would never admit it. Prices will be very high for this game. Hundreds of dollars per ticket. Yikes!

Now I would think, if ya had ticket would be one very cool eveningOnly hot ticket is the one at MSG tonight. Let's go Rangers!
It's a rivalry. I don't care what the all-time record is. Both schools hate each other. I can't wait for this game to take it's rightful place on rivalry weekend.
I think this is a result of all the NJ people who went to PSU still trying to convince themselves that going to PSU was a better choice than going to RU. Buyers regret sort of thing going on.

The only Penn State loss I can remember not being upset by, was the loss in '88 to Rutgers. The ONLY reason for that was a kid who grew up across the street and I had known since he was born, George Bankos from Whitehall High School, was playing for Rutgers. George was a great kid. I saw him after the game outside the Rutgers locker room. He was so excited and had such a huge smile on his face. I felt good for him. He had played a terrific game that day.It's a rivalry.

It's evident that he is saying that many fans are talking privately about it being a rivalry, but few will publicly admit to it being a rivalry. PSU fans absolutely do not want Rutgers to start keeping our recruits home and becoming a legitimate rival because it is well known in the college football world that if we keep much of our players home, we will be very good. PSU can point to the overall record all they want to reassure themselves that they are dominant, but they do so knowing that we weren't investing in athletics until recently and were only on the schedule as a guaranteed victory, just as all D-1 teams did for years. Now teams don't put us on their schedule for a cream puff game, and it's for the simple reason that we've begun to make an investment in athletics, are about 40% of the way there financially, and when we have built the infrastructure things will be very different.So alot of people are talking about it, but nobody is admitting to talking about it?

Welp, glad you can speak for us PSU fans, but I can assure you that many PSU fans are not thinking of RU as rivals right now. Make no mistake, we want to beat RU and to that extent every game is important.It's evident that he is saying that many fans are talking privately about it being a rivalry, but few will publicly admit to it being a rivalry.

Many PSU fans like to talk about winning last year's game against us in their "biggest down year," but that's the point in football--don't get down. While institutional control was lacking at PSU, it was not lacking at RU, and it's all part of the game. We are ascending, and whether PSU pulls themselves out of the abyss they've fallen into remains to be seen. Living on past glory is unattractive. Like Tennessee, PSU has to prove it on the field. Like it or not, we will become a publicly admitted rival, but I have zero doubt the public talkers on the boards and elsewhere will still be arrogant, a la their current head coach.
I am one of these Jersey-to-PSU people you refer to but I can assure PSU was absolutely the right choice for me. 20 years ago when I was a high school senior my criteria was a university with a top notch Architectural Engineering program and one that had a big-time football program. I applied to 2 schools, PSU and Miami, and after visiting each campus it was a no-brainer.
Win more than 7, then talk trash. Better yet, win 10.Win a game or two then talk trash. I think that's how it is supposed to work.
technically yes, but I got a good deal, and looking at PSU's home schedule, we are their 2nd biggest game of the year behind Michigan. The fact that we are close enough to drive for most RU fans I expect prices to rise as we get closer to the game. The fact that all the local hotels are already booked and all the RV's are already booked for that day should tell you something.Way too early too buy tickets on the secondary market.

Architectural EngineeringOut of curiosity what is Architectural Engineering? I'm an engineer, my brother is an architect. We both had two completely different curriculums in college....

But more to the point, the OP wasn't talking trash--take a look at his post. He simply made a statement that it is more of a rivalry than is being admitted. IIRC, the OP is a prof at PSU, so he is someone who would have a sense of this. As for PSU, the PSU posters are almost categorically condescending, and the number of dickheads that made their way over here after last year's 3-point victory was nauseating.
The only fanbase that I've experienced that is worse than PSU's is Wisconsin's. I didn't think it would be possible to experience greater rudeness and outright delusional tendencies than PSU's, at least based on what I read online, until Wisconsin came to our house this past year. They win the In-Person Dooshbag Award, hands down, and from what I've been told by other B1G fanbases, I am not alone in that perception. But as far as online presence goes, PSU and Tennessee are tied for the most pompous, living-in-the-past arrogant fanbases in the country. LSU doesn't even talk as much shit as either school, and they have much more recent success to brag about.
Jason how are job opportunities for architectural grads from PSU. My niece just got accepted to PSU and Pratt both very exclude. I think PSU only takes 50 frosh and Pratt 38
