Quick Reference; More PSU Football Game Times Announced.

Penn State has announced that the first 2 home games of the season (YSU, 9/4; KSU 9/18) will begin at 12pm.

High Noon; PSU v illinois homecoming kickoff scheduled for 12pm.

Our homecoming game this year (vs illinois, October 9th) is scheduled for a 12pm (EST) kickoff.

Anyway - make a note on your Zug Schedules -
