It was a gorgeous day for a game - cool in the morning, sunny and warm by gametime. We got to the grass lot at 8:30am and set up camp. We met our tailgate neighbors, used the Port-o-pots and tossed some bags. Yes, cornhole was played on Buckeye-painted boards! We determined the crowd was tame enough to pull the Buckeye boards out without getting beat up. And Aaron came up with a great storyline that as Penn State fans we stole the boards and bags from an Ohio State fan! We only had to use this lie once!! (I will also mention that Chris removed our Buckeyes license plate prior to heading to Penn State - we didn't want our car to get keyed!!) Penn State won 24-0 against the Golden Flashes of Kent State and these Buckeyes were just happy to watch some football in Happy Valley! (Did I mention Chris was constantly on his phone checking the Ohio State score?!!)
Chris, Aaron and Hannah with her awesome shoes :)
Me laughing about the Ohio State boards we stole from some poor Buckeyes fan!
It took me a minute to realize this was "PSU" upside down!
LIONS!
Pre-sunburnt faces
I must mention that the student section and the crowd as a whole were pretty great. Before the game begins the lion comes out to the middle of the field and gets the whole crowd going. And we witnessed a slow-motion wave...not sure I have ever seen that! And of course it was nice to see Joe on the sidelines this year...not running for the bathroom!
