It’s Halloweekend, folks!

There’s no better way to kick off or continue the Halloween festivities than a Penn State football game. The Nittany Lions return to Beaver Stadium after a week off, so it’s time to make up for lost time.

The temperature is set at a high of 66 degrees Fahrenheit for Saturday’s game. Let’s drink to that! Maybe this beautiful weather will ring in a Penn State Big Ten win (please, we’re begging).

Here’s your official Penn State-Purdue drinking game:

• Penn State just came back from a bye week. Take a shot!
• Anytime you see someone dressed up for Halloween, take a sip.
• Every time you hear someone bring up Penn State’s record, take a shot. The Nittany Lions are trying.
• If you’re happy to be back at Beaver Stadium, take a shot. Nothing beats playing at home!
• If Purdue jumps offsides, take a shot and celebrate.
• Every time Penn State gets a penalty, stare into the horizon and take a long sip.
• Every time you hear a spooky song played in the stadium, take a sip. How festive!
• At halftime, drink some water. It could be a long game.
• If Rocco Becht completes a long pass, finish your drink.
• If Penn State sacks Purdue quarterback Ryan Browne, take a sip. Let’s see more of that.
• If the announcers bring up Penn State’s four-game losing streak, take a shot. We don’t want to hear it.
• If you love the Nittany Lions, take a shot.
• If wide receiver Koby Howard comes back to play, take a shot and celebrate.
  • Take two shots if you’re feeling extra excited.
• If Purdue fumbles, take a sip.
• If Penn State fumbles, drink water and never speak about it again.
• If Penn State wins, cheers!
  • Maybe even go out for Halloween if you weren’t planning on it already.
• If Purdue comes out on top, finish your drink slowly and sit in sorrow.

Have fun, drink responsibly, and have a happy Halloween, folks!
