Let me just get one out of the way first: the Blue-White game is potentially the most over-hyped event in Penn State athletics. Every year, I shake off my hangover and make the walk up to Beaver Stadium. And every year, I am left asking myself why.
On Saturday, Penn State baseball (18-20, 6-5 Big Ten) knocked off Iowa 2-0 behind a no-hitter by pitcher Steven Hill, the first for Penn State since 1995. Read more about the game after the jump.
Looking to make something happen right away, Matt McGloin dropped back and aired a ball down the left sideline in the direction of Allen Robinson. Floating through the air, the pass looked good before hitting the ground a few yards ahead of Robinson as he couldn't quite catch up to it. That right there was the first play of the Blue-White game and went on to symbolize the game as a whole.
Blast beats, mosh pits, and a surge of kids who wore studded belts in high school descended upon Heritage Hall last night for a performance by aggressive metal-core veterans, Every Time I Die. The hardcore scene that is noticeably absent at Penn State crawled from the corners of campus and joined together for a night of sludgy breakdowns, blasting at deafeningly loud decibels.
Football is back in the air this weekend on campus as Blue-White Weekend festivities begin today with the actual spring game taking place at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Beaver Stadium. Saturday will mark the first time that many have entered Beaver Stadium since the emotional 17-14 loss to Nebraska last November. I've looked forward to this weekend for a while for many reasons. Listed below are five things I'm looking to get out of this weekend, including the game, and around State College in general.
