Happy Valley on a Fall Afternoon
This weekend I went to the Penn State-Michigan State game at Beaver Stadium with my girl. We had a lot of fun, even if it was November in Pennsylvania and not very warm. On the way in, L.L. Bean gave us free hand-warmers. Some notes:
:: I saw a guy in an old Oregon Ducks hat.
:: I paid more than I should have for tickets, but still got them for just a little over the official price.
:: I've never heard a PA announcer make such a mistake. It was after Penn State finally put a couple of good plays together, and after maybe a 23 yard pass play to maybe the 40 yard line or something, he says ... "Penn State ... TOUCHDOW ... FIRST DOWN!"
:: 108,000+ is impressive, but it's not as loud as Autzen.
:: Penn State had four turnovers in the first half. Sounds sort of like the Ducks this week, except Penn State had a defense that bailed them out.
:: They call Penn State Linebacker U and rightly so. Pozluzny, Lee, and Conner than really lay a hat to people. Multiple big hits.

vince miller was out here, so we went to autzen and watched the worst game i've ever seen there. six turnovers. two muffed punts. just some really bad football. next year i want to come up there and go to a game there. 108, ger would be amazing. looking forward to fla. bro. later
Don't you remember the Washington State game about 3 or 4 years ago? That had to be about as bad. Yeah, since you'll have to come, maybe in October so you can experience a brilliant Pennsylvania fall.
I'm not doubting you that Autzen Stadium is very loud, but I'm pretty sure the throng of 108,000 at the Michigan State game was a rather dispirited bunch. I was at the Ohio State game last year with 109,000+, and it was the loudest I've ever heard that or any other stadium. When the team's playing well (which they weren't this year), the fans get louder. :-)
