I'm thinking of Lehigh Valley folk, NJ folk, Amish area folk, Maryland folk, NY state folk, etc. It's a Saturday, it's a (former) traditional rival, it's a winnable game. OK, ESPN won't carry it, but it could still be fun for us. Plus a chance to meet El Duque. Who could pass up that opportunity? -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: duq81 's message, "I wasn't really thinking about doing a "blue-out"up there. I want to see us do one at Palumbo. Considering that we can't half fill Palumbo, I'm not very optimistic that we would get many fans to travel to a remote place like State College, to see us play a very mediocre opponent." on Saturday, July 17, 07:54:17am

I could see a few dozen making the trip, but it's so hard to get there. Marylanders can get to Pittsburgh about as easy as they can get to PSU. (NT) -- duq81, Saturday, July 17, 09:09:07am
- I don't know about coming from Maryland, but access to State College has been greatly improved by the completion of segments of new Interstate 99. Be careful to follow the road signs if you use GPS which doesn't seem to have the updates and will try to send you the old way. The weather should still be decent then, thousands of good seats available, good food and drink, it's a party town, winnable but competitive game, what's not to love.

  - See, Hoov (duq81), the guys want the toga party. TO-GA! TO-GA! (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, July 17, 01:23:11pm
    - We could do the blue snuggie thing like X did a few years back. (NT) -- duq81, Saturday, July 17, 05:46:18pm
    - kenOTR73 and the entire family will be there. Young son is a soph at JoePa U and can probably get us an invite to a real frat Toga party. El Duque, can you pass for John Belushi or are you more of the Flounder type? (NT) -- kenOTR73, Saturday, July 17, 08:35:16pm
      - Now or back in the day? Back then, I was the Otter. -- El Duque, Saturday, July 17, 09:05:33pm
        Me, unfortunately. (NT) -- P of P, Sunday, July 18, 04:12:20am
        I thought you had to be at least 5'5 to be a police officer, Muldoon. Say, is Happy Valley a possibility for you? (NT) -- El Duque, Sunday, July 18, 01:07:32pm
      - Back in the day I was D-Day..... (NT) -- kenOTR73, Saturday, July 17, 11:22:38pm
- I come to games at the AJP from Maryland several times a year, and I will also make the trip to State College for this game. I usually pick one week out of the season and follow the team for each game that week. This past year was St.Joes at AJP, Temple in Philly, and GW in DC (although I missed that game because of the snow, even though it was the closest to where I live...lol). Throw in the chance to meet ED and its just icing on the cake ;-) (NT) -- Slim, Saturday, July 17, 01:59:29pm
