#59, yours is "Olay!"
There's always a tailgate at PSU games. It's always huge. If you have friends, be sure to figure out how to find them because you won't just stumble upon them. If you don't have friends, you may be able to just make some. I've tailgated with randoms several times. Usually involves asking to jump in on a game of corn hole or ladders and then just making friends.
Are you at the Hampton on East College? There's a pretty decent sports bar near there, Damon's, but the real action is further down the road, past the stadium given the direction you'd be heading. Worth it though, it's a great downtown. Very walkable with lots of quirky restaurants and basement bars.If you're going to be at the Hampton on Waddle Road, that's a little further out. Probably close to an hour walk. I live about two blocks from there though and I can tell you there are some pretty nice bars nearby, including Otto's – a good local brewpub.
t-shirt is stupid, but not that big of a deal
It was like watching David Carr playing in his first year on the Texans. Brought back some bad memories.
The banner was taken down by security hours before the game started. From what I heard, they're going after the guy's parking pass.
agree, there's always bad apples. And with the Sandusky thing, its even more fuel for the fire. I usually don't get worked up about reports like this until they happen over and over and over again from multiple sources, like OSU.
Thanks for the info.
I hate that we've gotten to a point where people feel the need to apologize for this type of crap. Its silly to hold an entire university of fanbase accountable for the actions of a few morons.
Well, Rutgers is on a very short leash with all things PR so I had no doubt this was coming. But if the shirts and signs were just appearing in general, I don't think there would be an apology. Having the shirt appear on the official RU Football Facebook page, even if it got posted along with hundreds of others by someone who was probably an intern and had no idea, warranted the apology in a CYA capacity IMO.
Considering Rutgers had a basketball coach verbally abusing his players and an AD with her own questionable past, Rutgers is hardly in a position to lecture anyone about stuff like this.
I would like to see more games against mid-level power 5 teams. But many of those want home and home.
Glad you had a good time and that you had a good experience. Come back anytime.Bummer that UMass didn't put forth a better performance, especially given how much better they looked on offense the last couple of weeks. Credit the Penn State D for that, UMass couldn't do anything on the ground. And they haven't been able to contain anything outside all season. So once they figured that out and got Belton going, it was all over. The Sharpe fumble hurt, as did Frohnapfel missing Sifrin in the end zone on fourth down when it was only 6-0.
People here have been great to us, and all of the recommendations above have been spot on. So thanks for that. Really cool college town here.
Good luck to the Lions the rest of the season. Hopefully we can play again once the program is on better footing.
