Message: [QUOTE="PAcuse, post: 3044747, member: 715"] When you grow up with Blue and White all around you, you typically support Penn State. Growing up it was all Penn State this and Penn State that. Hell they even made my kids chair "We are..." at school lunch one day (my son was pissed, so I feel I have not failed him as a parent yet). The comments about nothing to do in central PA are not really true. You have Harrisburg to Lancaster with a couple amusement parks, minor league sports teams, plenty of outlets and good malls if that's your thing. If you are into churning out some butter and seeing where lots of snakes are made well you are in for a hell of a good time :) End of the day having 20 satellite campuses and a law school (Dickinson School of Law in Carlisle, PA) you turn out a lot of alumni/fan each year (20-23k degrees each year). I have respect for the academic side of Penn State and I have lots of friends that have great jobs with said degree. They turn out great NFL players, they get 100k people yelling and screaming at every game, and their facilities are state of the art. All of that plus having a snake oil salesman leading the charge isn't going to slow done the machine. My parents watch PSU because it's the states "team", they also watch Syracuse as they are both from NY. I never could like them as I had a disdain for JoePA, not sure why but I'm glad I did. You ask this upcoming senior class of students in PA and you will get a large majority that wants to attend PSU. The Sandusky stuff is in the past and most of the kids going now have little to no knowledge of what even happened. So the Alabama of PA will keep churning out PSU fans till the end of days and no matter how loud I yell about Syracuse it will not stop (I did convert multiple new fans this year, so it's a start lol).
