The Rules and Regulations committee members, better known as R&R, are oftentimes thought of as the party-poopers of THON. When your job is to maintain order and safety, sometimes that means encroaching on some people’s fun.
Jay Paterno took some time off from campaigning to come speak at THON this afternoon. Paterno had the crowd quieter than I've heard in hours as they listened intently, but at times, he had everyone cheering louder than ever -- thanks in part to a little light-hearted profanity.
As the fourth band in THON 2014’s line-up, Pistle Peg got right down to business with getting the Thon crowd fired up.

They must have had a pretty positive impression on last year’s crowd, because they invited them back again this year for a second go around.
We've already brought you the best fanny packs and best tutus of THON 2014, but this year some hats and hair accessories are taking it to another level. Check out some of our favorites!
