There are officially less than 70 days until our glorious return to Beaver Stadium for PENN STATE FOOTBALLLLLLL. Whether you’re a naive incoming freshman, a senior in denial, or a reminiscent alum, you know that these are some of the best weekends of the entire year. Our school pride is #unrivaled and the cult-like culture that is Penn State is best embodied through our devotion to the boys in blue and white. If your calendars aren’t already marked, the first home game of the 2016 season is against Kent State on Saturday, September 3rd with a 3:30 pm kickoff. Here are some of the best parts of Penn State Football, besides, you know, the football itself:
