PSU will not have a 2010 "White House" game after ""dropping"" the Iowa game

[HaydensDad]

"After dropping the 2009 White House game to Iowa, Penn State will have to wait for 2011 to seek redemption before 110,000 white-clad fans, Paternoville President Alex Cohen said. Cohen, citing a high-ranking official within the athletic department, confirmed in a text message that the next White House game will be Sept. 10, 2011, against Alabama."

I'd hardly call it dropping the game. How aboat getting pounded by Iowa.
How about this:
"After the Iowa drubbing last year where the White House effect was completely discredited..."

or

"after the star quarterback Daryll Clark started crying following his 3rd interception of the day which sealed defeat for Penn State, it was decided the White House didn't have the effect they hoped for."

they're not having the white out game due to a lack of a marquee home game

I know, i'm just having fun with it.
One could argue that Michigan is Marquee, being at 8pm on national television.

AH- play away then good sir... lol

It's amazing how these guy's can't get excited enough about this years schedule to have another White Out.

I agree with that, and up until the coming of Rich Rod I don't know who would argue that it wasn't.

I for one hope Michigan wipes the floor with them in their game. That would make me laugh considering they think they're not worthy of their "white-out" game.

As a side note, I was at the game last year in Happy Valley. The "white-out" is really not any more impressive than anything we do. Our Gold Bowl in 2006 against tOSU was cooler to be among the crowd in than that game last year. I know it was raining and piddling out so most people weren't wearing all white, but it still wasn't THAT amazing like PSU fans like to hype it up to be.
