I'm so glad JG didn't move the McNeese start time. Being on national TV (I'm guessing ESPNU???) would've been awesome, but I don't want the players dealing with any more humidity than they have to down there.

The Glanville effect:

Back in black !
PSU has a promotional flyer on most of the oregonian stands in downtown Portland, the advertisement has the new helmet and spear. The winner of a contest I believe wins two tickets to the SDSU game, air fare and accom. Great to see PSU get aggressive on the promotion end of things. Go Viks!

Good overall article:

In particular this part:
Another highlight is the reception at the hotel that night when I meet new Portland State coach Jerry Glanville for the first time. Dressed completely in his trademark black, Glanville walks into the reception tent, pulls out his sunglasses and places them on his face. Over the course of the next three days, I learn what a delightful man that Glanville is and I witness first-hand how this veteran coach has gotten the Portland community excited about Viking football.

Breakfast With Jerry: Not Your Average Coaching Plan
The hat and the sunglasses were also the same on Monday morning.
The Portland State Vikings began their second week of preseason practice at 7 a.m. on Monday morning. As has been the case all along in the new Jerry Glanville era, the Vikings are doing things a little different.
The Vikings don't tackle and don't scrimmage in practice.... wait a minute, this is football right?
"We don't want to lose anybody that can play by scrimmaging in practice," said Glanville. "But, we want to run 100 miles an hour, chase every play, get into position to hit and act like you are going to tackle. It's a little bit spooky for your first couple of games when you are new."
Spooky maybe, but Glanville has done it that way everywhere he has been. And everywhere he has been, from college to NFL and back again, his teams have been known for hard-hitting defense.
Glanville recounts the start of the 2006 season when he was the defensive coordinator at Hawai'i: "When we played Alabama last year, I had to go tell every kid in the locker room before the game, 'the quarterback is live,' because I realized, we hadn't hit a quarterback since the last season. We don't hit 'em in the spring either. You should have seen the kids."
"That'll be the first time when the quarterback is live for us (at Portland State), is when we are at McNeese (Sept. 1) in Lake Charles, Louisiana."
Did the "no-go-to-full-go" style work at Hawai'i? The statistics bear it out from the 2005 to 2006 seasons. The Warriors' record improved from 5-7 to 11-3, and the defense allowed 61 fewer yards and 11 fewer points per game to opponents.
More Glanville-style coaching is revealed in his emphasis for week two: It's actually still week one.
"We came right back today and it was first day of practice. Our insertion calendar, our call sheet, everything," he said. "Tonight in the meetings, we'll prepare for our second day of practice. Insertion takes six days. So for every six days we go back and start over. Today's practice was identical to the first practice. By your third insertion, you hope everybody has got it."
Doubles begin on Tuesday for the Vikings, which means there's now an extra practice. What will the Vikings do? "The first practice in doubles is 90 minutes of kicking." Why? "Because it's that important," says Glanville.
So, would Glanville consider his coaching style unconventional?
"A lot of people think it's crazy! But, I've been coaching like that since the sixth-grade picnic."
Portland State practices 7-9 a.m. and 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday this week. Wednesday and Friday practices are singles from 7-9 a.m. All practices take place at Stott Community Field on the PSU campus.

Glanville on top of (video) game
Tuesday, August 14, 2007RYAN WHITE The Oregonian Staff
If you weren't at a store just after midnight today to get your copy of the 2008 edition of EA Sports' comically popular John Madden-themed NFL video game, good for you. But surely some of you were, and good for you, too.
The release of the game must be a big deal, because it happened at 12:01 a.m., the starting time in America for all cultural Big Deals. So we figured we should say something about it. But that would involve an opinion we don't have. Instead, we wandered up to Portland State coach Jerry Glanville's office, as he was a pioneer in the field. Sega released Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl in the early 1990s.
You actually can find video of the game on YouTube. Set on a battlefield, guys in Vikings horns and suits of armor beat the air out of each other and, occasionally, you'll hear Glanville say something like, "Let's kick some butt." Characters died. There were trolls
"We were going to shoot it in Chicago, and at that time Jack Nicholson and (Danny) DeVito were making the movie 'Hoffa' and asked me to be in the movie with them," Glanville said. "I was one of Jack Nicholson's bodyguards in the big fight scene."
Three takes, Glanville said. Three times blowing up a car, each slightly bigger than the last, the final one lifting him off his feet. Three times taking a fake baseball bat across the back. The video game, Glanville said, was more work. Voice work, but more work.
Aside from paying him, Sega gave him a black motorcycle jacket with the game's logo and a game system, which Glanville left in the locker room for his players in Atlanta, making him ahead of not only John Madden in the video game industry, but ahead of Oregon in the locker room world as well.
Sitting behind Glanville's desk as he says all of this is a Vikings helmet not at all unlike what you'd find in that old game.
"I sent away for that one over in Europe," Glanville said. "We got it on the Internet, over in Europe somewhere. Amsterdam or somewhere. Ordered a spear, too, but that isn't here yet."
There are spears in the video game, too.
"Oh yeah," he said matter-of-factly, as if there is supposed to be weaponry in football. "Maybe that video game was about Portland State."

/users/31/07/37/smiles/700923.gif I'm glad Jerry is here.
Just heard on the radio during the daily commute that Coach Glanville is going to be interviewed on national radio on the Colin Cowherd's show "the herd". More great, and this time national, exposure. Go Viks!

I heard the last part of it. JG talked about how great the city of Portland is and how much people are starting to support PSU. Anybody hear the first part of the interview?
Unfortunately, I heard Colin talking about the upcoming interview with Jerry, but I didn't hear the interview at all.
