Prime-Time Revenge
April 15, 2009 at 5:30 pm Ryan Jones 3 comments
The early pick for best atmosphere of the 2009 Penn State football season? Easy: The Sept. 26 home date with Iowa, which has just been announced as an 8 p.m. kickoff on either ABC or ESPN. Expect an overflow (and very noisy) crowd for what is sure to be the season’s first (and perhaps only) all-stadium “White Out.”
And don’t expect anyone in the crowd to have forgotten this.

mr. berger you may be correct about the strict definition of ‘revenge’ but i think you miss the point about what the fans and likely much of the team will have in mind which will be last year’s sole regular-season loss. whether or not students and other fans are denotatively inclined and recognize the lions played not up to their potential that day surely they will recall which other squad was in the stadium when they took their only defeat and this will have the same effect on them as would any other loss and cause them to want to prove themselves or as you put it “play as well as they can.” thank you.
