I was 15 when I went to this game (stepdad had season tickets) and it was hands down the most incredible game that I had ever been to. We sat below the cowbell guy and to stand the entire game for the first time and feeling that place shake still gives me chills. Truly an experience that I would love to relive. We are!
When at a Penn State game you literally become exhausted because you are cheering so loud. When playing Alabama in 2011 I was toast by the second quarter. It is unbelievable.
"Boy that student section is up and making a gigantic amount of noise" Favorite line of the whole video. Spending every Saturday in the fall at Beaver Stadium was the best. -Class of 11
I still think it should be called Paternoville. I think Nittanyville sounds really dumb... Plus, it was born in the JoePa era. Now that we have our 409 back, I think it should have its proper name restored. I realize that it's a new round of students who weren't PSU students while JoePa was alive, but he is as much a legend to them as he was to us.
+Katie S There's a lot of current students pushing for the renaming at campus too, however, I don't think it should happen right now. Leave it as Nittanyville for a couple more years and feel the situation then. I could have been here for the end of the Paterno-era but I went to the military instead, but kept a watchful eye on everything that was Penn State football. The end of Paterno's stay here was a lot of pain for a lot of people, and we are only now starting to really heal from those wounds. We need a few years to stay clean and get our reputation as a clean cut university back. I can only recall stories from my friends in Happy Valley while there was protests all around campus saying the university was corrupt and evil and all the negative media attention everyone on campus was getting. If we change the name back right now, it'll get a portion of that attention back, and we don't want that yet.
I graduated PSU in 1992 and the loudest game I was ever at was prolly the '91 game where we beat Notre Dame --- but the 2005 Ohio State game was easily 3 times louder! It was deafening as I watched it on TV --- even the Ohio State players admitted it was the loudest game they ever played. This was prolly the last truly "great game" PSU has won. I was also proud of how the PSU students showed up in force on this night, because I can remember a lot of half-empty student sections in the early 90's when I was there. Seems like we only showed up for the Notre Dame games back then.
Best regular season college game ever played. We sat on the 35 in section EH and it was nuts. Never been to a game that intense in happy valley since and we have season tickets. It was hyped beyond belief and the reality outmatched the hype, BIGTIME. When Poz sacked Troy smith, man I’m telling you the noise was so loud, it seemed that the noise was literally like water running into your ears. SO FUCKING LOUD. I’ve watched a game at Texas A&M, Virginia, Virginia tech, Michigan and OSU, and they don’t hold a candle. The night before this game was nuts. It lived up to expectations, that’s for sure. RIP J.V.P.
4th and to be honest i dont see them reaching the title game this year i dnt see bama or oregon losing but ill sure take another undefeated season with no prob
I went to the season opener couple days ago... very disappointed with our student section. Even though we faced Buffalo, we still could have been louder since it was the first game of the year
I was eleven years old at this game, and I can say without a doubt that will probably be the most fun I will ever have on a Saturday night in my entire life, that game was a freaking blast.
That's cause the refs blew a holding call and sucked all the life out of the stadium, after that holding call Ohio State had that game easily and I think everyone in the stadium sensed that.
The thing with the Horseshoe is that night games are generally very crazy and very loud and day games are generally dead. The stadium always sell out but the crowd will sit on their hands a lot. I was at the Purdue game last year and fans were leaving with like 2 minutes left to go and those assholes missed an incredible comeback. Go Bucks!
Beaver Stadium is overrated (really about the same loudness as the Shoe). Being in the Buckeyes section in the Upper Deck, The ONLY times of the 2012 game Beaver Stadium was noticeably loud was during most of the 1st quarter and right after the blocked punt. The game was close until the 3rd quarter so no excuses there. If you want a Stadium thats Ear Ringing for FOUR quarters, go to Camp Randall
People who go around on youtube, insulting Penn State have no life! They think they are bad ass when really, they have no clue what they are saying! They think its funny to make fun of child rape, and make fun of (in my opinion) the best University in the country. Their ignorance makes me laugh. I didnt know people could be so misinformed about something... or just that stupid. We Are and ALWAYS will be PENN STATE!
