A rally has been planned to the support the football team on Tuesday, July 31, at 7 a.m. Several local businesses and supporters are encouraging fans to come out to Holuba Hall to greet the team as they arrive for the beginning of the preseason workout.

The idea came about on “The Goon Show” with with Keith Conlin and Dave Richards, and now local businesses — including Nittany Bank and Old State Clothing — are spearheading the initiative.

Free donuts and coffee will be handed out started at 6 a.m, and @NittanyStrong will be there to give out free t-shirts. Fans are encouraged to show up early, since the workout starts at 7 a.m.

We’ll have more information if it becomes available, but for now, show up and support this special group of players who are staying loyal to Penn State during these tumultuous times. Bill O’Brien said at Big Ten media day today that all the players who show up to preseason camp will stick with the team through the season. These are men who deserve your support.
