Went to the pirate game last night, and down in the left field section 130 were at least 100 psu wannabes for whatever reason they would want to be, chanting we are penn state at different times of the game, it was their way of saying we are lost souls and please notice us, wearing yellow t shirts the front said penn state in Pittsburgh and the back of the shirt had a outline of state of Pa with a star over Pittsburgh and said penn state west. They just have no purpose in life

I can't imagine going into State College with Pitt garb and chanting to be noticed. How uncool.
 
Whats worse is there were some older non students with psu garb. Its irritating, lame and you look like retards.
Matter of fact, any one who prominently wears college gear at a pro game is lame.

It was probably PSU branch campus day so not as big of a deal. Its funny though that those branch campus morons think they actually go to Penn State and not a glorified high school.
 
branch campus dummies is being too kind.

Next year's game...I don't know how that isn't going to be ugly in the stands and lots. It got fairly ugly some years when there was still a modicum of respect between the programs. I don't know how anyone can respect those heinous sickos at this point.

Speaking of, it took heavy outside pressure to rescind the invite to honor a former Second Mile trustee before today's PSU game. This is a guy who testified that he had seen Jerry showing in athletic facilities with children, has insisted there was nothing wrong with the Second Mile, and who has insisted to at least one reporter there was no sex in the McQueary shower incident, apparently because he believed it would have been too difficult to get an erection quickly enough at Jerry's age. I kid you not. More evidence, as if anyone needed any, of how there is still zero change in the attitudes or culture there, how the leadership still clearly displays how insular and incestuous it is. It would all be unbelievable if one wasn't crystal clear about what these subhuman cretins are.

BTW, that got national coverage but somehow was banned from being mentioned on this board according to multiple posters, which doesn't say a lot for how this site is being run.

If it was branch campus day there would have been 200,000 people there.

Every day is branch campus day at Penn State. When 60% of your system-wide students enter at branch campuses, most of which have essentially no admission requirements, every day is branch campus day.

I've commented on this before, but...they don't seem to "get it". I've seen people wear UPS garb at Buffett concerts (where 99% of the attendees wear tropical-themed clothes), at Steelers games, in church, and believe it or not, at a funeral home. They wear their clothes like a uniform. I'd speculate that many of those people only have UPS clothes in their wardrobes.

They deny that they're a "Cult", but to use the Duck Analogy, "If it looks like a Cult, acts like a Cult...."
 
A few years ago, when Pittsburgh hosted the MLB All-Star game, my wife and I went to all of the festivities.

One of the most hilarious scenes I've ever seen at a game happened at the celebrity softball game.

My wife and I were sitting there minding our own business. We were chitchatting with some of the people around us and we were all there having a good time. The game obviously meant nothing and we were all there just having a nice day at PNC Park. The mood in our section was very lighthearted and fun.

Then, in comes this guy (wearing a Penn State polo) with his wife and kids and another male adult. It took this guy no more than five minutes to just completely change the atmosphere of our section.

He was treating the softball game like it was a real competition. He was actively cheering for one side. It was very strange....and also somewhat hilarious.

I mean, who does that? Seriously, I thought we are being put on it first.

What wasn't as funny was how openly nasty and dismissive he was to his wife and kids. It seemed like every time any of them spoke to him, while he was talking to his friend/business associate? he would basically explode on them.

It was extremely uncomfortable for everyone around them. His behavior was bizarre.

Also, as the unlucky soul who happened to be seated directly next to his friend, I couldn't help but overhear their conversation. It was a little bit formal so I don't think they were close friends.

Most notably, the friend was asking about Pittsburgh and its sports loyalties. Naturally, the douche bag asserts that the most popular team is "probably the Steelers" and followed closely by Penn State. He then said that nobody really cares about any of the other sports teams.

I wanted to chime in but I just kept my mouth shut for obvious reasons. There was no upside to engaging that weirdo.

Then, it happened....

Up to the plate stepped one of the celebrity All Stars and it was former Steelers and Penn State legend, Franco Harris. Sadly, Franco did not have his cardboard cut out with him.

Anyway, after they announce Franco's name, this guy winks at his friend and says "Watch this," with the bizarre level of confidence.

He then stands up and turns to the section behind us, cups his hands over his mouth, and confidently yells, "WE ARE..."

[silence]

Undeterred (of course he was undeterred – this man had the self-awareness of a rock quarry) he repeats the process and says, "I said, WE ARE..."

[again nothing]

At this point, Captain douche nozzle is completely exasperated with the lame crowd. That in and of itself is completely hilarious. He warns the crowd that he's going to give them one more chance.

He then confidently positions himself, cups his hands over his mouth and one more time, with all his heart pronounces to the world behind him, "WE ARE..."

Finally, someone in the crowd yells out, "You are at a baseball game, asshole. Sit down and shut up!"

I couldn't hold it in any longer. I was openly belly laughing right next to the guy. It'd taken a weird, offputting, slightly upsetting and painfully awkward situation that had persisted for several innings and turned it into something that was hilarious.

To make matters worse many of the other people in our section then began to jeer this guy. I mean they really hated him every bit as much as I did, which surprised me. I didn't realize that everyone there was so in tuned with what a goofball that man was acting like.

However, to be fair, I think people were put off by the way he treated his wife and kids as they were his cheerleading efforts. He really was over-the-top nasty to them.

Whatever the reason, at the end of the inning, that man told his wife and kids that they were leaving because the whole scene was - in his estimation - lame (presumably because they refused to engage in a Penn State chants at a celebrity All-Star game being staged in Pittsburgh).

And of course, as he was leaving, some members of our section began to sing the "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" song. It was really funny/strange/sad. It also took an otherwise boring and lame celebrity All-Star game and made that the highlight of that weekend. That was by far the best thing I saw during that All-Star weekend.

They're the State University of Pennsylvania. Acting like Pittsburgh is some far away land where it's amazing that they have fans there is just pathetic.
Dr. Von was one of the best stories I've heard though. Shortly after the sanctions were announced, Penn State fans would still say things like "how does it feel to be a Pitt fan?" I would usually ask "how does it feel to be the laughing stock of the nation." (Wasn't a funny matter, but at the time I would hear multiple PSU jokes daily.) You know what every one of them would say though? We don't care what ESPN and the NCAA thinks, there's so many of us it doesn't even matter. Yeah, I'd say that sounds like a cult to me.
I was at the All-Star weekend at PNC though. I was in high school at the time, but had I seen that guy he would've been way more embarrassed. I would've had no problem laughing right at the guy. Just think of how bad the Pirates were then, but everyone came to All-Star weekend, most to see Jason Bay and Freddy Sanchez. But yeah, nobody cares about the Penguins or Pirates.

Penn State's relationship to the state of Pennsylvania is essentially the same as the relationship between Pitt and the state of Pennsylvania and Temple and the state of Pennsylvania. The are no more THE "State school" than Pitt or Temple are THE "State school".

You are right about that. Unfortunately, most Pennsylvanians do not see it that way. Pittsburgh has it's fair share of blue and white cult worshipers. There are not very many Pitt fans out in the State College area though. I look at it the same way you do though, I'm not from Central PA so I have no reason to support Penn State.
