Literally Taking It To The Streets

There it was. Penn State's corner back Lydell Sargeant intercepted Tyrell Pryor's long pass with seconds to spare and it was game over. We let the clock wind down & game, set and match! We finally beat Ohio State 13-6 at their own stadium, breaking the 7 year duck of not winning there. My friend, Brendan & I went out to see if anyone went mental but we ended up at a street party on Shortlidge Rd in front of McLanahans. Upon exiting the dorms, we saw people running towards downtown so we blindly followed them. For all you know, there already was a group of people jumping and singing along Penn State songs!

As more and more people joined in the fun, we managed to block the whole junction singing, shouting and jigging until the mean ol' police asked us to move. So, we did a mini-parade to the junction of Locust Lane and saw another bunch of revelers at the apartments on Beaver Ave & what the heck, we decided to join in! People we banging cymbals, playing the trombone, throwing paper towels and shouted WE ARE...PENN STATE!!! countless times. The police with full riot gear had to control the streets and I even got maced which was very sickening to my nose and mouth but managed to get away quickly.

After hanging out around there while trying to find my snow cap (I think some punk grabbed it from my head) and aborting my decision to party at the Beaver Stadium I finally decided to head home. This event shows that we are pretty feckin' passionate in our alma mater and nothing beats winning against Ohio State at their homeground and storming up the ranks in the National Standings. LET'S GO PSU!
