No matter how drunk you might be, there’s no reason to throw bottles and lemons at fans or hurl open ketchup packets in a crowd full of white outfits. The golden rule for Beaver Stadium’s student section is simple: Don’t be a dick. Imagine how bad it’d be if there were an emergency. Overcrowded aisles and walkways were a concern, too, considering how it was nearly impossible to move past those in the way if you were headed up to a concessions stand. No matter, many of the most memorable football moments were captured on these nights. Between my friends and I, we saw a number of fights break out in the student section. The Lions are 8-8 in White Out games since the tradition began with just the student section in 2004. I’m pretty sure the crowd-surf in question began as Auburn’s offense took the field for a huge third-down play. Still, though, there’s clearly work to be done.įirst off, how many times are we going to drop the Nittany Lion during a crowd-surf this year?

I don’t have any exact numbers, but Tigers fans showed up in droves to support their team, and it was pretty damn cool.

Saturday night was all about Penn State fans and the White Out, but you’ve got to give the Auburn faithful a hand, too. Either way, it’s a gutsy play call, and Penn State’s new-look offense is undeniably exciting after a few so-so seasons. Although the referees ruled Penn State short, it looked like the Nittany Lions had enough juice to cross the line to gain. I almost fell over in the bleachers (out of excitement!) when Penn State dialed up a fake punt midway through the game. The 2007 White Out against Notre Dame was one of many standout performances by Connor, who was the best player on a defense that suffocated Notre Dame for most of that game and helped the team.
