I went to the big 33 a few years ago because I had a “relative” playing. I got so sunburnt, I was bed ridden for a couple days afterwards. There was great talent sure, however what I got out of it was a couple of crazy parents/fans. Some unnecessary comments were made

Was there a decent crowd at the game? The whole announcement, and the basic info seems quite "mickey mouse." IMO they really need to stop calling it the "super bowl of all-star games."

Really seems to me, kind of a weird "central PA" thing, with local promoters- they "release" the info to PennLive paper, maybe to get subscribers? And then "big 33" game has 44 names listed? Really weird. Watered down and lame, def not "helping to improve PA football in my opinion

There was a decent crowd but I couldn’t tell where the people were coming from. They had a motorcycle gang watching which I thought was unique.

I wouldn’t read too much into “Super Bowl of all star games” it’s like NYC places saying they have the #1 pizza in the city. Although it’s pretty cool the Super Bowl streak it has

When Mickey Minnich ran this game, it had a special feel about it. Now, it has an intramaural vibe to it. Feels very cheap.

who was the "relative"?

bed ridden from sun burn? never heard of that lol

it's been close to 20 years since the game seemed like a big deal, I remember Terrelle Pryor said he had no interest in playing what he called "some game against Ohio"
