Get this going a few hours early. Late tip, 9:00 tonight. Team wearing throwback inspired uniforms which look gorgeous.
Who wants to get me one of those throwback shirts they are handing out to students?

I'm going to steal Tyrone Garland's Jersey - not like he needs it.
I'm really quite curious what the turnout will be tonight, I have a feeling it's either going to be a ghost town atmosphere or everything but the corners being full. basically either 2,500 or 6,000. My gut tells me it's the former not the latter.

Can't wait for this game tonight. Closest thing I can do to see the good ole Palestra from St. Louis. Don't need anything special tonight just want a solid win and a good showing hopefully in front of a good crowd.

The late-tip could either really help, or really hurt. Could go either way with people a little farther away. It could give people plenty of time to get there, or they could balk at getting home at 1 or 2 in the morning.
Personally, if this was a Thursday, I'd bang out of work on Friday and make a night of it.

Some credit needs to be given to the SID office. They've been working facebook/twitter/youtube like crazy promoting this game. The throwback jerseys and Tom Gola t-shirts are all good signs we're moving in the right direction in their department.

I'm thinking 3500 ish tonight. Can't say I've ever met a PSU alum who even remotely cares about their basketball team unless they are playing in the tournament.
I'm def bringin my old ID to the game and snagging a Gola tshirt if there aren't 500 students.
The 9pm start is perfect for a trip to the New Deck.

If its less than 4,000 we should've played at TGA. I'm sure that it was a deal breaker though.

I know PSU isn't a basketball school, but you guys are overlooking one key person - Pat Chambers pride of Episcopal Academy. Their coach will bring 500 people by himself.

Also, PSU is less of a basketball school and more of a strange religious cult.

I have to admit, I am a little worried about either a rollout or a chant that is of the tasteless variety from our student section. You know, referencing that little thing last fall where the most important man in the history of their university pretty much ignored the decades long sexual abuse of children by someone he worked with for many years.

If a rollout, I think our admin will probably shut that thing down before it takes off. Too soon. Besides, we're not Temple. The most classless thing our students do is yell USA at the immigrant players.

Yea I'm not happy about this hockey game still having this much time left and the Vermont coach taking timeouts

6:03 left in the hockey game. Every hockey game I've ever wanted to end so I could watch something else has found a way to go into Overtime, so there's that to take note of.

Yeah I'd really like to be able to have an intro on the Palestra, video package, etc. Now they'll probably go right into the Tip.

Tip off now. Hockey game under a minute. Hopefully get the game with 18:00 or so to go.
