History has been made and I am so glad that I was a part of it. In case you didn’t know, Joe Paterno achieved his 400th career win this past Saturday in Happy Valley. It was such a great weekend filled with food, football, and fun. Mike and I headed up to Sate College on Friday afternoon. We stopped to get our friend Ashley and then we were on our way. (Food-I had made Cranberry Crumb bars and Chocolate chip pumpkin blondies. I must say both recipes were a great success).
Saturday morning we all woke up in great anticipation of the game that afternoon. So we packed up all the goodies and headed to the stadium. The game was at 3:30 and we were tailgating and drinking mimosas by 10am. The weather was a little iffy in the morning but it cleared up later in the afternoon. It was still a bit chilly (as you will see from the pictures) but we all stayed warm with all the good food and drinks.
The game was a little scary in the beginning. PSU was down 21-0 until about 2 minutes left in the first half. We finally scored a TD going into half time. The second half was a blast. PSU scored 28 unanswered points!! After the game was over (the whole stadium was still in attendance) the crowd went wild! Joe Pa had just won his 400th game! It was such a great moment in sports history. There was a small celebration on the field for Joe and we all cheered our hearts out. One of my favorite quotes from the evening was when Joe Pa said..”People ask why I stayed around so long and I say Look Around!! Look Around!! I love you guys!!” It was so cute I love him.
So needless to say it was a great PSU weekend. We spent it with some of our favorite people and we had a blast! Now on to our next game vs. Ohio State. It will be a tough one but hopefully we can pull out win #401. Until next game…………. LETS GO PSU!!!!
