State Patty’s 2025 Prop Bets

Penn State’s craziest weekend of the year is almost here, folks.

Love it or hate it, this weekend is State Patty’s Weekend, a student-created Penn State tradition that involves quite a lot of fun, energy, and rowdy behavior. Whether you’re participating in the festivities or observing from afar, there’s no denying that it’s going to be an eventful time in State College.

To celebrate the holiday, we thought it would be fun to put together a list of prop bets based on the State Patty’s Day tradition.

For those unfamiliar 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.”

A quick reminder: Onward State is not a gambling site, nor do we encourage or promote gambling. None of these prop bets are real in any way, shape, or form. We also encourage all Penn Staters to have a good time while acting responsibly. With that out of the way, let’s get into it!
