Having been a lifelong fan of PSU, and spent many a Saturday as part of a whiteout, I can attest this is even more impressive in person. And good Lord, it’s loud.
I was there. It was insane. And yes, goosebumps were present. Best game of any kind that I’ve ever experienced.
Now that I have a couple of blog-buddies up that way, I fully intend to have that experience myself.
very cool
Nice try. Let’s have a look at the original image – you know, the one that wasn’t photo-shopped.
I was there as well in the student section, and it was truly a sight to behold. And no, CBS, this picture was not photoshopped (CBS also left a comment on my blog casting doubt on the authenticity of these pictures of the “White House” from this year’s Notre Dame @ Penn State game). Seriously, everybody was wearing white, except for the 5,000 or so Fighting Irish fans in attendance and a couple other random people. And it was amazingly loud too, especially at the start of the first offensive series for ND, and for Derrick Williams’ thrilling 78-yd punt return for a touchdown late in the 1st quarter, which sent us into a delirious frenzy! (Only Penn State vs Ohio State in 2005 was louder, in my opinion.)
cbs,
if you doubt the authenticity of the pic (the contrast may have been upped slightly) , have a look at the full, 2 page spread of a similar photo in Sports Illustrated from the issue after the game
Penn State fans are awesome. It’s a testament to the fans who were present that night that people could actually allege that the photos taken inside that stadium are fake. Seriously, that is awesome.
CBS,
I suggest you do a youtube search on Penn State White Out…. The tell me how every two-bit moron with a video camera can be as equally skilled at video editing as ABC sports…. but suck atraight up at the audio end….. Or just realize the obvious truth. Through well placed word of mouth, nearly 110,000 people all chose to wear white. What a concept.
Lets…. Go….. P.S.U.
Anything beat Zombie Nation during a White House White out?
CBS, The whiteout was a marketing project of my daughter, Brenna Garay, did for a grade while attending PSU. To make it a success, she handed out white shirts, purchased from Dollar General Store to the student section, which began the college students and attendees to follow suit and make it a yearly tradition. You have heard of traditions haven’t you. Go PSU, Go Brenna, Go Whiteout. A proud mother.
