I’ll always be grateful for you guys beating those thugs from Miami in ‘87.

I've posted this before, but it is a great article on that game. Link here.

Also, it seems Joe and PSU seemed to be in the middle of everything when it comes to change in college football. He preached for a playoff back in the early 70's (we've finally got one - sort of). That 87 Fiesta Bowl showed what could be done outside of conference bowl affiliations. The 94 team basically created the need for the BCS. He railed on the B1G and their corrupt officiating in the 90's, and we got B1G and then ncaa reviews. The only thing that never transpired was the All Eastern Conference he wanted. Big East Basketball money won out. Play money now, compared to football.
