Penn State football’s White Out is one of Happy Valley’s biggest nights. The spectacle draws hundreds of thousands of fans dressed in white to watch The Greatest Show in College Sports. 

Between the sea of white, the chaos of a big game in Beaver Stadium, and the heartbreaking 31-23 loss to No. 19 USC, there was plenty to talk about.

Naturally, students took their thoughts to Yik Yak to share their White Out experiences and unfiltered reactions. 

Here are some of the best posts we found from White Out weekend:

In a record-breaking day, 114,419 people showed up for the White Out, and 114,419 left with a lifetime supply of trust issues.

The post-game analysis consisted of only two words.

Maybe there is one thing to celebrate from Saturday.
