Captain Kangaroo Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I went to State College 3 times to see the Zips. I had a blast each time. Many fun on-campus bars. There was one that sold cases of Rolling Rock bottles...you bought your "box-o-rocks," and opened them yourself on an old-school wall-mounted opener that was strategically placed on a post next to each table. Man was I hungover the following morning...one of my all-time worst ones. We tailgated in a field that was like the Rubber Bowl lot, but 100X larger. You could set up tents...kettle deep fryer...friends could all park together...it was great. They gang-rape you for on-campus hotels at Penn State...and usually mandate a 2-night stay... but if you split it between a few couples or buddies, it's not so bad. Well worth the extra cost to stay on-campus and party there at night. I don't know if I'll go this year...but if I do, it'll be a good time.

And I go to a football game for football, so I don't need a lot else to do. I don't know how anyone could've enjoyed Zips football over the last decade without alcohol, but you do you fam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to figure out why everyone in the concourse is running into each other all the time. I guess I just figure it out. Thanks.

Too many people took advantage of the cheap 20 dollar fee last year resulting in many fans being double parked so they felt they needed to increase the price. Demand is very high.

On Facebook they said they should be in the ticket office sometime this week. This is a pretty awesome looking poster IMO. I love the focus on Gilbert. What would be really cool is if they did the same base schedule, but had different players on them. Collect them all! To bad there isn't someone on HustleBelt doing a "Poster Rankings". It'd be a fun read in the doldrums of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is a given with the program unfortunately. Regarding the PSU game...PSU is really dang good so I expect it to be...not close.

PSU is going to be really tough and I expect a blowout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
