I went to school there also, so the Vikings are one of my teams. They dipped last season when I thought they might finally get over the hump after a decent 2011 campaign; I still think Nigel Burton can get it done in the Park Blocks.
In his fourth year at PSU, he's running out of time to do something and move up in the coaching ranks. If he doesn't prove himself this season he'll probably lose his job, and the Vikings will have to start anew once again.
We all know what that is like, right?
The team starts practicing tomorrow at 1 p.m. First game: Thursday, Aug. 29 at Jeld-Wen, with a 7 p.m kickoff against Eastern Oregon.
Won't be much of a contest, but at least it will be a football game rather than soccer at the landmark old stadium that was gussied up by the Timbers ownership a few years ago.
The Timbers draw 20K a game. PSU will be lucky to get half that many to its opener.
