Things Blue and White People Like

Lioneye_edited_tiny by BSD on in Fun Stuff

These "Things (Blank) and (Blank) People Like" have been circling around the internets the past few weeks, but I have yet to see anyone do one for Penn State. So I figured what the heck. Here are some things Blue and White people like.

Eat n Park

It's 2 AM on a Sunday. You're cruising down I-99 through Altoona on your way home to Johnstown after another Primetime Penn State game. In the past 24 hours you have consumed a case of IC Lite, half a fifth of Jack, and a margarita some cute girl gave you just to make you leave her tailgating area before you puked on her. Your face and the back of your neck sting from standing in the sun all day and you haven't had anything to eat in over ten hours since the shoe leather hot dog that sat on the grill way too long. Your buddies are passed out in the back seat and your eyes are getting heavy. Then you see it. Eat n Park is coming up at the next exit, and you're thinking nothing would hit the spot better than a Super Griddle Smile right about now. Screw your friends. You need to Eat n Park right friggin' now. Buy them a round of Smiley Cookies to smooth it over.

World Famous Grilled Stickies

You started out drinking Ice-T's at the Café 210 West. Then someone suggested you head down to the Saloon for a Monkey Boy pitcher. The bars are closing down and you and your buddies are getting hungry. You stumble down the block to McDonalds to find the line out the door. Screw that. If you can't get flesh, cheese and grease at 2 AM you'll go for the next best thing...fat and sugar. The trek up College Avenue in the bitter January wind is totally worth it for that delicious sticky bun dipped in butter and fried on the grill. Of course it wouldn't be a grilled sticky if you didn't go ala mode.

Fumble Drills

You play ring toss to pass the time? Please. Penn State fans prefer something a little more manly. Like decking yourself out in spandex and diving into piles of empty beer cans.

Beer

One thing all Nittany Lion fans agree on is their love for beer. The only question is are you a Yinzer or Youzer. If you're from western Pennsylvania yinz like to kick back with an Iron City. If you're from eastern Pennsylvania youz prefer the smooth taste of Yuengling Lager.

Like the Pens and Flyers, the beer wars will never be settled.

Laughing at Pitt's expense
Blue and White People love laughing at Pitt. No matter how many times Penn State loses on the road or gets beat by Michigan, B & W People just shrug their shoulders and say, "At least we're not Pitt".

I guess I don't fit in with you all
  1.  I am from Pittsburgh, but definately prefer Yuengling.
  2.  I would never eat Grilled Stickies, The Diner has been shut down 3 times in the last 4 years for major health violations.

So...........
What's your point? You think anyone cares at 2:30 am if a mouse hot-footed it across the griddle before your sticky started sizzling?

There are moments in life that simply scream for lower standards.

Besides - the antibiotics available these days are miraculous.

by Pete the Streak on May 7, 2008 7:49 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

My point
was that you would be more likely to catch me in line at Canyon or Are U Hungry? or Taco Bell or anyplace but The Diner.  You want to eat mouse shit cooked on mold-covered equipment, go ahead.  Mike made a post, I commented that I like 3 of his 4 choices and gave a reason why I didn't like the other.  Take it or leave it.

ya know
I never really liked Canyon...I was more of a college pizza fan myself, of course they are all good when you are wasted

Blue and White people like an Ernie's Cheesesteak and fresh cut fries...that was the best pre-game food, you could drink all night if you scarfed some of that down

College Pizza
Half of my fraternity worked there, I never had to wait in line or pay the entire time is was in college, it was one of the best hook ups in State College.

Ernie's Cheesesteaks are kind of a new creation. It was not too long ago that your only food options at the Phyrst were peanuts and micro-wave popcorn.

Canyon?
If you go to Canyon, do you get the ranch dressing?  Because if so, you have no grounds complaining about health code violations.  The kind of filth that ends up in that big tub of ranch by the end of the night is worse than mouse crap.  I had a friend that would drunkenly spit into it on late-night pizza runs.

Sorry - I was mocking my own food (non) standards after last call, not yours.

Anyone not desiring mouse shit and mold is understandable, and worth emulating. I just wasn't up to it.

Late night food.
I used to live 400 block west college ave (the old sex palace), I used to love the dollar slices then stumble way way home.

If the lines were too long I was not above stopping at local gas station for mini meatball sandwich, not great tasteing but at 2:30 am anything looks good...that goes for the big girls too.

Blue and white people (at least those who lived in West College) love mini meatball sandwiches from the Minit Mart(and smoking dope).

ACME and Griller's
I spent my late night meals between ACME Pizza and what used to be Griller's, on the other end of the building. I know ACME is now Canyon and I don't think Griller's is there anymore either but they had awesome chili-cheese fries. The other drunken meal of choice was the BIG UGLY from the Uni-Mart above College Pizza. I have no idea how I was able to stomach those things. I don't think they're around anymore either...

College Pizza was my preference for sober eating.

by WETSU on May 7, 2008 9:33 AM EDT   0 recs

Hmmm...
I respectfully submit that only Penn Staters who grew up in the greater Pittsburgh area (or at least somewhere west of State College) consider Eat n Park a viable option when deliberating on options for late night cuisine.  Most of us easterners really can't figure the whole thing out.  It's like a quarter step above Denny's (if that) if you ask us.

Of course, you kinda allude to that in your post by mentioning Altoona and Johnstown... and not Allentown or Hazleton.  Personally, I'll take Perkins any day.

I will tell you what would make a killing...
in State College for late night food, a Sheetz. I don't know how many times I called a cab in State to go get some sheetz at 3 in the morning...If they had one with in walking distance...oh boy! Nothing beats a cheese steak hoagie at 3 when you cannot even see straight.

I should clarify,
it should be downtown somewhere...lol my bad I realize there is one up by the mall, and another out on Atherton.

I wanted to open a Sheetz MTO Downtown

Uni-mart
has an agreement that they could be the only convenience store downtown. i have no basis for this other than that's what ive been told when i asked about it. on top of that the regional office is right beside BJT. you'll never see a sheetz downtown

MTO baby!
I originally had Sheetz MTO Subs on the list, but remembered they didn't have one downtown. I remember many a late night at the Altoona campus stumbling three quarters of a mile at 2 AM to get a meatball sub.

True story
we had a big party one night, and everyone was starving and didn't want pizza, so we called a cab and went to sheetz on atherton and ordered 80 chilidogs. The workers thought I was absolutley nuts, but when I prepaid they went straight to the order.

by carolinaeasy on May 7, 2008 12:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How Much
So, how much does one have to drop, in order to prepay for 80 chilidogs? This is important information to store in a place that will make it through the fog of a big night out celebrating our domination of the wolverines for the first time in a decade (which WILL freakin happen this year).

lemme see
well hot dogs are 2 for a buck, and chili is like 29 cents extra so, about 75 bucks...enjoy, and yes i know its sad that i know the prices at sheetz, but then again shouldnt everyone?

I can remember many a drunken stroll down through Juniata to get to Sheetz in the middle of the night after a night of boozing at 6th Ave.

Eat N Park
I love Eat N Park and I'm from Philly.  Those smiley cookies just rock.  But then, I also love Denny's, Perkins, all those places.  

I second the downtown Sheetz idea...cheap and good coffee, breakfast sandwiches, etc...yum.

Breakfast & Buzz Management
Yeah, those brekkie spots have all the elements of a good drunken/hangover joint. Well, in the absence of a joint, they provide all the necessities: LARGE portions, doughy beersucking entrees, booths to hide the mess you're making on yourself and/or to hide whatever else you smuggled in there, waitstaff experienced in the handling of unsavory guests, and an inexpensive tab at the end. Winner on all counts!

god rest its soul
but some of the best pizza downtown was the Gopper, not to mention you could put damn near anything on it (my favorite was roasted garlic, feta cheese and spinach), and you could get a stromboli with anything in it for near 5 bucks, and it was the size of your face.

never settled?
As much as I hold on to Iron as a bulwark of my inner-yinzer, I don't think it's in the same league as yuengling.  

The Pittsburgh Brewing Company, which produces and distributes Iron, has been on the verge of going under for the past twenty years.  Meanwhile, you can go to nearly any bar from New York to North Carolina and order a yuengling.

The only contest Iron could win against Yuengling would be in marketing contests: some of the old Iron ads, with pissed off steelworkers downing beers, were unbelievable.  Even this more recent, underground effort is great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS18r2k8JVo

Uni-Mart "Death Dogs"
We used to get 2 Uni-Mart Death Dogs for 99 cents.  We called them "death" dogs because you could get any combo of onions, chili, cheese, sauerkraut, relish, etc to put on them.  The drunker you were, the more you put on, and the next morning you felt like death.

The youz and yinz comment cracks me up.  My junior year, I (a Philly guy) lived with 4 guys from Pittsburgh.  It was like they spoke another language to my high-class East PA ears!!  My favorite was when they would put on their "tennis shoes" to play basketball.

I have a tough time liking anything from a brewing co. that makes American Beer...that is the worst stuff the in history of beer.

by carolinaeasy on May 7, 2008 12:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Bad Beer
I'd have to disagree with your assertion that American Beer is the worst ever.  My friends and I have had a few editions of a bad beer taste test competition that we dubbed the Bad American Swill Festival, where the price of admission is a 12-pack of the absolutely worst beer you can find.  We have blind taste tests and rank the beers according to smell (10%), cold taste (65%) and warm taste (25%).  We've had three winners in our three competitions so far, with Koch's Golden Anniversary ("Golden Adversary") winning the first one, followed by La Crosse Lager (which I brought out here from Wisconsin specifically for the BASF, $7 for a 15-pack!), and the current defending "champion" is Big City Lager, which is from the same brewery that makes La Crosse Lager, except Big City's available in Harrisburg somewhere.  I'm pretty sure we had American in our most recent contest, but it didn't even get on the medal stand, as it had plenty of stiff competition, haha.  The downside of having these contests is that there's always leftover bad beer that somehow shows up at our tailgates in the fall during a game of flip cup or pong!  Talk about a rude surprise!

Rock Pony's
I was at the last Case Day at the Skeller with friends and family case # 32 of the day, that was like 9:03 AM.... I think it was around 2002 or 2003. My Uncle has an unopened case in the box from the skeller from that last case day. It's sits in the frig in the basement not allowed to be touched...

Case of Ponys
I used to study at the Rathskeller all the time. From time to time one of my friends would pop in the way to or from class knowing I'd be there, to catch a beer. Often one beer turned into two, or three, but nothing said "screw it we're getting drunk" like ordering a case of rolling rock. Especially at 2:00 on a Tuesday afternoon.

As a employed taxpayer, I encourage everybody in college to get drunk on Tuesday afternoons. While you still can.

Midweek, early afternoon drinking...
there is nothing better in the world... I do beleive this still goes on. I know one summer I decided to stay in State College and take a few class... well, let me tell you, that was a difficult session. Summers in State College are awesome. The huge campus gets pretty small pretty quick and you see the same people everywhere. Has crazy as it is during the fall and spring, summer is even more of a party and it's really a great time to be there... anyway, this is when we would be on our way to class and see people sitting on the patio at Cafe210 or Sportscafe. You say to yourself... well... okay... 1 drink. Then its 2 drinks and all of a sudden you missed class, it's 7:30 and your hammered.

When I was reading
the first sentance of your post I was thinking to myself, "Yeah, I couldn't even walk past Cafe 210 West on the way to class in the summer time, or there was no chance I was going".

By junior and senior year, I scheduled back to back 10 and 11 o'clock classes to defeat the trend.

Summer session at Penn State was like summer camp, only with beer and chicks.

Yeah, Nick -
Keep in mind I graduated in '78, but a box of Rocks at the 'Skeller was de riguer in those days. The only bitch was finding a 'skunker' - happened about every other box. Always a unique flavor experience.

One summer term my buddy and I umpired intramural softball, and post-game was always celebrated at the 'skeller. Teams made it a point to drop a box of Rocks at our table, with the caveat "Keep it fair, Blue". What a great summer, except for the GPA.

Side note: In the early 90's, I attended a conference in Dallas each year at the Loews-Anatole Hotel (6 stars out of 5). A sports bar in the hotel had a shelf displaying the 'premium' beers, which consisted of every pricey import you could imagine, plus...Rolling Rock. $6 for a 12 oz. bottle, 15 years ago. Crazy.

I grew up in Park Forest - so when I'm visiting Mother, we usually get HiWay or Papa John's.

And since I lived on campus while at school, late night food was almost always the Penn State Sub Shop - but the hoagies from the North Atherton Street shop were better than the ones downtown.

Where in Park Forest?
That's where I grew up, off of Devonshire.

Penn State Sub Shop wings are the standard that all other chicken wings are measured against. Few are better, most are worse, but to this day, every chicken wing I eat is compared to the Sub Shop's.

Yeah, my stripper (ie, first pet and street you grew up on) name would be Precious Fairwood.

You are correct about the chicken wings - no one makes them with enough vinegar.

But the simple recipe of Frank's hot sauce and melted butter (I use a ratio of about 1:2) comes close. (oh, and roast the wings in the oven at 425 for 60 minutes)

My one roommate loved wings from Champs - she would order their hottest variety and then douse them in cayenne pepper -

I know where that is
I am the pron star Ian Belmont.

Obnoxious wings are solid, but not as good as the Sub Shop, and there are leat 10 things on the menu at Champs better than their wings, starting with the Colorado Rockie (Prime Rib with Au jus).

Nothing should be as good as that sandwhich.

Beer and Food
I lived at Gateway apartments for a year and used to beat up PA Pizza a few times a week.  They had some real good deal for like $2.99 for six slice pie.  I also took advantage of the .99 whopper at the BK behind Gateway, well adjacent to it..whatever that road is called.  Late night drunkeness was usually College Pizza if the line wasn't so long, otherwise it was ACME.  

The best beer deal was 1/2 keg of Bud Dry, for some reason it was real cheap.  Even though Bellefonte is like 10 minutes away, it seemed an hour away in college life so I didn't take advantage of the Rolling Rock cheap kegs as often as I should.  

I still get pissed off at state college beer distributors closing super early on weekends forcing you to pay the higher prices at the six pack shops.  Aholes.

I think it was Nastse's Beer Distributor
in Bellefonte that really opened up the Yuengling trend in State College. It was around, but still kind considered a bit of a step above Coors/Bud/Miller lite, kind of like a half ass micro brew.

But then they started selling cheap cases of Yuengling cans and having reasonable prices on Kegs and it really exploded on the fraternity party circuit. This would be in the mid to late 90's.

I always wondered if the Nastasi that played psu football was related to them.  

I wanted Yuengling kegs, but back in the late 90's the kegs were prong tap and I only had a ball tap.

We bought the cans, which is somehow more pathetic. But over the course of 25 or 30 cases of beer, those are savings you can take to the bank, or buy more beer with.  Which is of course what we did.

We Rocked......
the "Schaef Dog Weekender".  Schaefer.....do they still make that stuff ?

Depending on the mood I either drink New Castel, Stella Artois, or Bass.........but oftentimes I hit the PBR Pounders, The Champagne of Beers and I still drink a lot of Natural Light.  American Light was good too.  

I will never be too good for low budget American Beer.

Eat N Park.......used to tear up the buffet and clean em out of corn beef hash.

My Beer of
choice at PSU and to this day is Keystone.  It's still my mass consumption beer.  

I just bought a case of Sammy Summer Ale yesterday.. for my couple afterwork nightly beers.
