Penn State football is back in the win column, folks! Cheers to that.

After last week’s first Big Ten win against Purdue, the Nittany Lions are back on the road to face Washington. Penn State continues to fight for bowl game eligibility as the 2026 season draws closer to a close with every passing day. The Nittany Lions need at least two wins in their final four games to reach the postseason.

Despite the stakes, sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy another football game!

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

• If you’re happy Penn State finally won, take a shot.
• Every time the announcers mention the Purdue game, take a sip. It’s a good thing, for once.
• If you aren’t from Seattle and think their hot dog toppings are weird, take a sip.
  • Even if you’re from Seattle, drink. What happened to ketchup?
• If you’re still recovering from Halloweekend, take a sip. We’ve all been there.
• If Penn State scores first, take a shot.
  • If Washington scores first, take a sip of water.
• Every time you see blue and white in the stands, take a shot.
• If you think Penn State’s defense will carry the game, take a sip. Tony Rojas for the win!
• If Koby Howard returns, shotgun. FINALLY!
• If Penn State sacks Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr., take a sip.
• Every time Penn State gets a penalty, take a sip of water and look away.
• If you’re watching at your favorite bar, take a shot.
• If you think the Steelers are better than the Seahawks, take a shot.
  • Not sure why, but do it. You may need it.
• Every time you hear a Penn State chant, take a sip.
• If you wish the Nittany Lions were home, take a sip. Beaver Stadium is the best.
• If Penn State forces a turnover, take a shot.
• If Penn State wins, drink until you don’t want to anymore.
• If Washington wins, sadly finish your drink and stay off social media.

Have fun and drink responsibly, folks!
