WHITE OUT 2008
Posted by bradmoistdotcom | Filed under Uncategorized
I flew home to PA this weekend for WHITE OUT 2008. After plane delays I finally made it Saturday around noon. I was supposed to get in Friday evening so I could stop by and visit by Mom’s parents in Holidaysburg on Saturday morning but that didn’t happen. So Brandon and I drove straight up to State College. We hit the campus, grabbed some PSU swag, and ate a breakfast dinner at Ye Old College Diner…
…and you can’t go to the diner and not get a grilled sticky.
So…on to the game. In case you don’t know…WHITE OUT…or any “color” out was started by the Penn State student section and then moved stadium wide and then nation wide as almost every school now has a “color” out. So, against Ilinois the eighth largest crowd at Beaver Stadium (109, 626) joined together in WHITE. It was a night game so the all white looked even more amazing.
The slight rain didn’t stop us beating the Illinois to go 5-0 and end up #6 in the BCS Poll. Here’s a video I found of the stadium singing in the rain to CCR.

And yes, ESPN ranked PSU the best student section in college football!
I had to fly back to TN Sunday evening so I was barely in PA 24 hours, but that was enough time to get some love from Texas and Tenne.
Oh yeah…I thought this was funny…
