Highlights of Miami’s victory over Penn State at Penn State. Features Freshman Jim Kelly and starting center Don Bailey and many others. Paterno greets Kelly after the game. Word in the locker room was that Kelly said to Paterno “how did you like my linebacker play, maricon?”

I was an 11 year old living up in the Lehigh Valley area in Pa. watching that game.

I never looked back as a die hard fan from that day on. My area was all PSU and ND growing up!

I was a 14 year old, living in Hialeah, remember it well, where I fell in love with Miami. This Dec I’ll be 59, the love is still there, Go Canes till I die. We are in a good spot people, these kids just have to seize the moment on Saturday and once they experience a victory like that, on road against the world, they will take off from there.

I was 15 and residing in the 'burbs of Philly...
This team intrigued me. Moxie and bad intentions.
Weeks later I found out the family was moving to West Palm Beach.

Lots of QB sneaks by Kelly. Like watching the Eagles from a few years ago.

I was also 11 at this time. This is a year before I started playing organized football here in Florida. My neighbor started playing on this team in 79 and lead me to becoming a Miami fan. I have stories with Bailey and Kelly from this period.
 
I was living in Tamarac and I had to work that Saturday afternoon. I listened to the game on a Transistor Radio, (if you're under 40, Google it) I was ecstatic, and it did feel like Howard was turning the ship around. What I can't remember is whether it was the late, great, Sonny Hirsch calling the game or his predecessor? I definitely remember Sonny calling games a year or two later, but 78'-79' draw a blank.

I live in SE Pa and the PSUcks love is everywhere. One of my most disliked teams, however I would absolutely go to a ' whiteout' at Beaver Stadium with hopes they get crushed, atmosphere is probably crazy. But fvck those Sandusky fools.

I have family friends who were huge fans of PSU. I heard a lot of mierda through the years about thug U, paying players, cheating, etc. then Nevin Shapiro hit and the chatter got louder. However, once the Sandusky story broke, crickets. Been that way ever since.
F Penn St
