Vikings Coach Tyler Geving (87-101, 7th season) is 1-4 all-time against the Pilots.

This is some sad news from over on the bluff:

Any idea of the timeframe of when he was doing PSU football play-by-play?

I was not able to attend the game, but I understand that PSU held a moment of silence for Bill Johnson before the game... Thank you for that; it was a classy move on your part.

Johnson is a UP legend and will be missed.

Death, taxes, and Geving losing to the Pilot are the only certain things in life.

I wasn't able to attend, but it seems our free throw shooting just may be our Achilles heel this season.

I was at the game and bad free throw shooting was the main reason for the loss. Both Tucker and White were out for the game, so the Vikings were a little bit short handed, but still had many chances to win against the Pilots. Geving choose not to play Namdi Okonkwo, even though Portland played a 7-1 skinny post player themselves. Why sign this kid if you're not going to play him? Okonkwo is a JC transfer, needs experience and this was a situation were he could have contributed! Starting to question Geving on a number of fronts! Hope I'm wrong and things work out. Without question there's talent on this roster.
