Hello,
Current undergrad here, longtime peruser of the Penn board who just got an account approved, and diehard fan.
I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to if we have tried, and if so why haven’t we been successful, to schedule a game at home with Penn State. Clearly, Pat Chambers is a Philly guy who loves to bring his team here, and I have no doubt this would be a sellout game. Not to mention playing another ranked opponent at home besides our biannual duel with Villanova would be a draw to recruits and current students alike. Would appreciate any insight!
Welcome! It's always great to get an undergrads perspective. The opening game my freshman year was PSU at the Palestra. Unfortunately for me I was visiting my wife for a dance and after convincing the student union place to switch off of a random NCAAF to put on their own basketball team, we lost after Ugonna stuck a game tying 3 about 1 second too late. Being taunted by new PSU basketball fans was sweet. For the few current students who are local and actually care about sports, I'd imagine it's a fun potential game to have with friends who are in State College.
