Philly 'Mayors Cup' - D1-AA Villanova up on D-1 Temple 7-3 early ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/s8tffwvq1/cheers.gif) Awesome. I hope they beat the Owls. i'm at a complete loss. have been for years. as to why college football is so unpopular here. here you have 2 iconic universities in the city (city limits) and The Linc where the Birds play is 2/3 empty. 1st weekend of the college football year. people are rabid over college basketball here with lasalle, penn, st. joes, temple, 'nova and to a lesser extent drexel and delaware. but yet - everyone in the entire state seems to root for Penn State (despite the sickening happenings years ago). i can see if you're alumni. i find it comical when people here 'root' for penn state. to each their own - more than free to root for whoever you want - but please spare me 'they're a local team'. nonsense. closer to pittsburgh than philly - spare me they have sub campuses in the burbs.

Yeah, it's not as much of a Thing as in the South or Midwest, which sucks. But then it's way more of a college football area than, say, the west coast. So it's all relative, I guess. As for PSU, full disclosure: both of my parents hold degrees from there, lol. So. I'm biased. Of course, my dad and sister also both went to Notre Dame, so I root for both. But it's not lost on me that between PSU and the Catholic Church's ties to ND it's like I can't buy a ticket without my money going to pedophile-sheltering sickos, so it'll be a long while before I personally attend a game for either one of them. In terms of the state, I think it's because PSU is seen as the only thing in its class for one reason or another in PA, at least in NEPA: Pitt is only one city, UPenn isn't a football school, Temple is historically awful, and PSU was a "great" (consistently successful) school for decades with a lot of PSU alums living in either the City or the tri-state area when they leave State College and sending their kids there, etc. Plus, there is a perception outside of Philly/Southeast PA that the rest of the state is sort of culturally and otherwise apart from it in a way that's not the case with Pittsburgh, although the entirety of western PA with its midwestern vernacular is totally different than the eastern/"east coast" side, which is another wrinkle. Pennsylvania is weird, mang.

kicker is going to turn into the kicker from Ace Ventura that went into hiding. can you imagine the chicks he would have gotten on campus for the rest of his life hitting a 56 yard game winner? now the poor kid is probably dealing with death threats and will drop out of school. such is life....... ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/ntbgu109l/odd.gif)
