THON’s Line Dance has been performed numerous times throughout the night so far, combining some of the most important news, Penn State events, and pop culture from the past year. The popularly predicted “6-7”, Susan Welch Building damage, Matt Campbell as the new football coach, and Italian brain rot all made the 2026 line dance.

But, this raises a new question – what big moments from this past year weren’t included in the line dance?

Penn State Women’s Hockey Remains Top Of The AHA

Although wrestling made its debut in the line dance, Penn State women’s hockey didn’t. These ladies have played an incredible record of 29-5, ranking No. 4 in the nation. Why aren’t we giving them the recognition they deserve?

Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande Memes

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Get Engaged

You may hear a few Taylor Swift songs and see a few cameos throughout the line dance, but nothing about her and Travis Kelce’s engagement. This news made every channel, social media, and website globally within a matter of minutes, but not the Line Dance. Sorry, Tayvis fans.

If they wanted to stir up some controversy, including Sydney Sweeney and her American Eagle ad would have really done the trick. Nothing like some heated conversations to keep the weekend going.

AI Trampoline Bunnies

We all have fallen for the AI trampoline bunnies and animals on TikTok, even if you don’t want to admit it. Even though it may be difficult to incorporate into the dance, a clip of these jumping bunnies would be a great addition.

Happy THON Weekend, folks. For The Kids!
