How were you treated by the PSU fans? Title: Re: Happy Valley Post by: XBAMA on September 14, 2011, 07:27:23 PM Were any of you guys there? I had an awesome time with 5 of my best friends from Bama. I'm jealous, Chief. How were you treated by the PSU fans? ME TOO ! errrr ... take any pics ? ;D Title: Re: Happy Valley Post by: Chechem on September 14, 2011, 07:28:02 PM Were any of you guys there? I had an awesome time with 5 of my best friends from Bama. I'm jealous, Chief. How were you treated by the PSU fans? Yes, chief (details, photos). Title: Re: Happy Valley Post by: navychief on September 14, 2011, 07:37:49 PM Hard to post photos from a Navy Computer...will do that later.
A coworker and I (From Alabama) took the RV and picked up my other firends at the Airport in DC on thursday night. First time I have every seen anybody picked up at the airport in an RV....was kinda funny. We arrived at the FT Bellefonte Campground at 3 am on Friday. My friend (The one that got the letter from Coach Saban) drove the whole way. I had some health problems, so i had to tap into the Medicine in the Mason Jar. We woke up around 10 for breakfast. One of the Bama fans had never had Grits....WOW. We partied friday and Saturday Night and Left on Sunday afternoon. The fans were awesome...I even traded a #12 Alabama jersey for a #12 PSU jersey. They habitually said roll tide and thanked us for the way they were treated in T-Town. After the game they werent upset or anything. There were a few bad eggs...but the other fans were quick to correct them. The "white out" was innefective...looked like somebody spilled crimson kool-aid on the crowd. During the game, the fans in front of us stated that this was the biggest away crowd that they have EVER seen. At the inferno bar afterwards, one guy whispered "*&^3 the tide" into Jim Bunn's (hes an old TS member)ear...One of the PSU girls there almost kicked the guys ass. These guys are all about ensuring that the rivalry remains one of great class. Sorry about the grammar, spelling, and everything else. Honestly I dont care.

But how drunk were you to "trade a #12 Alabama jersey for a #12 PSU jersey"? I hope they kicked in $100; otherwise you got taken. :dunno: Thanks for confirming that Penn State has classy fans. I'm eager to see the pics. Title: Re: Happy Valley Post by: XBAMA on September 14, 2011, 07:56:26 PM great report NC 8)

Russell felt like :sup: time for a antibiotic ... some nice pictures from the PSU game would make us feel better I'll bet ;) Title: Re: Happy Valley Post by: navychief on September 14, 2011, 07:58:58 PM (http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4002/psugame.jpg)

"Tell us about the trophy. Please, please... tell us about the trophy". Makes you always wonder how "gracious" they would be if they were a powerhouse.

Title: Re: Happy Valley (updated with a few pics) Post by: XBAMA on September 14, 2011, 08:05:17 PM those are awesome pics ...
someone that was at the game said those mean looking clouds just parted right around kick off time and the sun came out ... Title: Re: Happy Valley (updated with a few pics) Post by: Chechem on September 14, 2011, 08:11:40 PM (http://www.thestudentbookstore.com/webitemimages/520/W51380.jpg)
Found an image of the tee shirts, but can't quite read all of the JoPa one. What's in the red and black ovals? BTW, I knew the jersey trade was for a keepsake. Just funning.

"Tell us about the trophy. Please, please... tell us about the trophy". Makes you always wonder how "gracious" they would be if they were a powerhouse. As a football program I have more respect for,-- say Tennessee, than Penn St. PSU is known for hiring family member referees for cheating. Their strength of schedule through the years has been laughable, at best. It shows how bad that we as a society have fallen, that ya'll are making a big deal out of someone finally being civil.
