When 9/11 comes to mind, the image of the brave service men and women, firefighters and police officers also appear. But what about the military families that were also impacted by the attacks?
It was a rough afternoon at Beaver Stadium for Penn State fans as the Alabama Crimson Tide sufficiently rolled the Nittany Lions. Whether you were at the game or watching on TV, there's plenty you may have missed from a day that provided a very unique stadium atmosphere.
No. 3 Alabama came into Beaver Stadium and rolled to a comfortable 27-11 victory. The win came in front of an electric crowd of 107,846 that featured a boisterous student section and plenty of away support. Penn State jumped out to a 3-0 lead on its first drive, but Alabama dominated the rest of the game. Penn State will look to improve next week against Temple in Philadelphia.
In case you haven’t noticed, Alabama fans have been coming in droves throughout the day. So I went down to College Avenue to see what they think of the area and of course get their take of the game.
This week's camp-out is shaping up to be one of the biggest and best in the history of Paternoville, and we're not going to let everyone else have the fun. That's right, we've got an OnwardState tent up at Beaver Stadium, and we'll be joining in the festivities. We're one of more than 100 tents here, and we're looking excited to one long, chaotic, and unbelievably fun experience. All week, we'll be bringing you content live from Gate A--both inside and outside of our new home.
Students of State College have been walking by the building Urban Outfitters will occupy (previously Nittany Notes), awaiting the moment when the construction would be over and their doors would open. The day will come soon. The rest of the clothing stores on College Avenue, however, have been preparing for Urban's opening for close to a year now.
