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.
A victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide would be a win for the ages, and the crowd will be a major factor if Penn State can spring the upset. Come early, be loud, stay late, and read why we're going to need every single fan at full throat tomorrow.
For those who enjoyed Football Eve last Friday Night, the Blue & White Society and Intercollegiate Athletics has you covered. They have teamed up to sponsor the annual event Rally in the Valley Friday Night in Rec Hall. Festivities begin at 8 p.m., but doors open at 7:30 p.m., with seats expected to fill up quickly.
While the excitement surrounding the Alabama game hasn't withered, the ability to tailgate has been hampered by nearly constant rain this week. The wash has already soaked many tents and campers in Paternoville and is now seeking tailgaters and anyone driving to Saturday’s clash between Penn State and third ranked Alabama. With rainfall predicted into Friday, several normally accessible parking lots will be closed this weekend.
I'll show you how friendly Alabama fans are. I saw it in Tuscaloosa last year. They don't deserve the same kind of dirtbag treatment we'd give to Ohio State or Notre Dame. When you're in the stadium on Saturday, make as much noise as you want, and yell whatever you want to 110,000 people who can't make out your brilliant taunt, but don't confront people in crimson on the street and tell them they suck.
