PSU and how I became a fan

I'm new to the site so I'd thought I say hey..

I grew up near D.C. where college football doesn't exest, so while watching Saterday morning football there was one team always on..Notre Dame. I grew up watching them some what and they became my college team.

 

Star-divide

Fast forward a couple of years and things have totally changed. I met a girl (don't these stories always have that subplot?) and we clicked. I come to find out she went to PSU and upon her hearing me say I like Notre Dame, made it her quest for that to change.

My first weekend in State College was a blur, beer and pizza, pizza, and beer. Parties and blasty blasty times where everywhere.  I tried to fight it but the whole atmosphere was growing on me.  After my first game the transformation was complete. Now I've been more of a pro football man and I thought I knew what tailgating was from going to pro games. I couldn’t have been more misguided. 9am outside the stadium and things where well under way, beer pong, beanbag toss, and great smells where everywhere! I've been to a couple of games and even got to sit in the student section. Beaver Stadium is arguably the best home field in the NCAA, and being there live was something I'll never forget.

So for the past 3yrs I've followed them closely. I look forward to blogging with you all.

Welcome to BSD

Thanks for sharing, but I’m calling bullshit. Nobody sits in the student section.

Just kidding you. Welcome to BSD.

LOL

that’s why I said sit

I’m going to try and make it to another game, but most likely it will have to be against a non-rival opponet

welcome...

I am a PSU fan, first and foremost….....but growing up in Chantilly, VA and being a redskins fan, I appreciate the Chris Cooley blog name you’ve created.

Aye

Cooley’s a great dude to root for. I’m loving seeing a Captain Chaos reference in a PSU blog!
