The whole TCU in '08 thing

Will they come? Or won't they come? From what I've heard, TCU wants a pretty hefty payout to travel to Happy Valley. Rightfully so, I say. Who wants to come play in Beaver Stadium on a voluntary basis? No teams I know. Syracuse agreed to come when PSU sucked, so you can't blame them. Alabama was also in that boat. Then they backed out until '14-'15. The only team I have to ask "what do you think you're doing?" is UVA, who just recently agreed to a home-home series with PSU.

Fine, so PSU still maintains the idea that if it doesn't have seven home games per year, it will be a financial disaster. Uh huh, right. Well, then what's the excuse, Joe? In case you've forgotten, PSU (and every other D-IA school) now plays at least 12 games each season. That means PSU gets to work with three OOC opponents at home, and one away, while still keeping the seven home dates.

You're telling me that those geniuses in the Athletic Department can't come up with a plan to coordinate opponents to get the most high-profile teams on the docket each season? There is absolutely no reason for PSU to play more than two OOC cupcakes in any season, nevermind three in one year.

Temple is a traditional "rival" and I'll give them credit for trying, but FIU? Buffalo? Get real. Try talking to Shiano at Rutgers, who has admitted he wants to get a PSU-RU series going. What ever happened to Maryland? or WVU?

At his press conference, Joe said he would like to play Notre Dame more often. Well? Do it. You're Joe Freaking Paterno!
