The spring semester is here.

Sylly Week has arrived, and you’re 109 days away from the final days of classes. Maybe you were itching to get back to Happy Valley or just arrived in State College this morning to stretch your break, but nonetheless, the day has come.

In typical Onward State fashion, we put together a list of prop bets to help get you through the first day boredom-free.

For those not familiar with prop bets, Onward State co-founder Evan Kalikow put it best: “A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it’s a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say ‘humbled’ in the post-game press conference? That’s a prop bet.”

It’s important to note, however, Onward State is NOT a gambling site, and none of these bets are real whatsoever. We don’t encourage or promote gambling, but we do encourage having fun.
