Fact: More people will be at next Saturday's Penn St-vs-Youngstown St game than at Beck's rally

(disclosure: I'm a Pitt fan, and I can't stand Penn State. ;-) )


But... this Saturday, 110,000 people will converge on Beaver Stadium to watch the Nittany Lions take on little Youngstown State in a meaningless "warm-up" game to start the season.

That's more people than were at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.

Let's get some perspective here.
