I am at the Tavern in State College.... and....

Enjoy the experience (although Beaver Stadium is a terrible venue). I expected to be there but even my late mail delivery didn't include my tickets. Hope the Pitt TO is willing to reimburse!!

I am not making this up... Franco Harris walked into the Tavern as we were leaving. My daughter has video, I will see if I can post it.

Was he wearing his "We Are, Because He Was" t-shirt?

I'd scrub my phone of that video.
No, but he seemed very annoyed at all the cultists trying to get his autograph and pics with him as he came in.
 
I'd watch for someone trying to dump a Chipotle rice dish on your head. Nit fans are known to do that sort of thing.
 
Bar Blue is ehhh - I like pickles much better. However, my absolute favorite is a bit off campus - American Ale house (in Toftrees Area). Laid back and more of a grad student spot. If you have a chance - their gumbo is fantastic too.
 
Zeno's in the middle of it all, underneath bar. Was considered the best beer bar on/around campus. It's been a few years since I've been there, though. Allen St Grille also good right next to Zeno's.
 
I kept asking the locals what they recommended for dinner, and they kept saying "eat shit, Pitt".

I was hoping for more choices.

;)
 
Ah, you didn't realize shit is an acronym for Spam, Home fries, Ice cream & Twinkies. A high end 4-course meal in Central PA.

Was Franco dining with his cardboard Joe Paterno?

Speaking of foods up in HV didn't Franco try pushing "healthy donuts" way back in the day? Great idea but don't think he came through.

Must have been a Food Services major attending State College while tugging the pigskin for Grandpa Munster.
