Reason #1001 to hate Penn State...
I stole the recent topic headline Reason #1000 to hate Penn State.
And not sure if this is a reason to hate Penn State.. But I look for any reason to do so... You be the judge.

I live In Pennsylvania and some might disagree but I hate them 2nd behind Ohio State. If you had to hear them talk about themselves and their just "sheer awesomeness" everyday u would understand. I dont need another reason to hate them.

Out of curiosity, do these people just spontaneously rave about their school's "sheer awesomeness" to you out of the blue, or does it come in response to something you've said first?

You'd be pretty surprised. All I usually have to say is that I went to Michigan for the vitriolic stupidity to flow forth. There are quite a few awesome people that went to Penn State. There are also a ton of mouthbreathing goobers that went there.

If you saying you went to Michigan infuriates them so much, imagine what would happen if it was the truth!

Oh man u dont even have to say a word. As soon as they find that you r a Michigan Fan they flip out. If I walk in to a bar wearing a Michigan shirt I have 10 PSU fans just start yelling 3-9, 5-7, or the score of the games the last two years. If I try to bring up the 9 losses previous to the last two years they start yelling stop living in the past you're worse than a notre dame fan blah blah blah. I mean I swear the Ohio State fans I run into out here or 10x easier to talk to than PSU fans. Its ridiculous.

These guys can't be reasoned with?
August 31st, 2010 at 7:16 PM ^
Wow. First time seeing that... I want to think OSU fans deserve that, but i don't think anyone does.
August 31st, 2010 at 7:30 PM ^
Ok, I hate them. That was appalling.
August 31st, 2010 at 7:49 PM ^
Which is my point. I mean as much as I dislike Ohio State and they dislike us, could you ever imagine doing that or having an ohio state fan do that to you? PSU fans are the worst.

That 140 lb punk at the end epitomizes "mob mentality". I would love to have seen this happen in person so that I could have smashed his face in front of all 300 of his friends. I can't believe this is making me this angry...but it is.

Yeah that kid would have been wrecked if he didn't have all that backup. That video is just angering to watch. I feel the same way you do.

Don't know how many of you remember this, but it made big news when thier mascot got a DUI a couple of years back after the MSU game and missed the Rose Bowl because of it.

this is just funny
August 31st, 2010 at 5:05 PM ^
I actually find this story to be endearing. If we had a mascot, I would like him to be a wildcard who occassionally passed out drunk in pick-up trucks. But, thats just me...
August 31st, 2010 at 5:18 PM ^
I find this less troubling and more endearing and a little trippy. I would love to see a 6-foot Wolverine stumbling around the Law Quad and then falling asleep in the back of a truck. That would be awesome.

Your comment is eerily similar to the one above.
August 31st, 2010 at 5:26 PM ^
Just to add I really do hate PSU. I grew up in PA my best friend and father are Penn St grads. My grandfather is a huge Penn St guy as well and 90% of my friends.
I only lived in Michigan for 5 years for school so the MSU hatred for me is number 3 behind OSU & Penn St. These Penn St fans are really up there with the worst in all sports.
I have to agree with the post about walking into a bar filled with Penn St fans and they find out you're a Michigan guy. Last year I came home to my home town , Wilkes - Barre and went out Friday night before our game last year with my Michigan hoodie on and if you think you heard App St a lot how about 100+ people chanting it.
Also some girl tried to fight me as well at this bar. Classy and I hope we smoke them this year.
Go Blue & F Penn St!

Could not agree more Giff. My parents both went to MSU and dealing with them the last two years has been easy compared to classy PSU fans.

3 years later and I'm still trying to understand Penn State fans joy in taunting us for the App. State game. Penn State lost to the team that lost to App. State. So basically, aren't they ripping on themselves?
And then there's the taunting for the last two years. That's just great. It took Michigan fielding their worst two teams in the 130 year history of it's football program for Penn State to finally win that mathup for the first time in over a decade. And they use this material to talk trash?
Taunts of 3-9 and 5-7 are pretty weak since PSU is pretty much patting themselves on the backs for beating those 3-9 and 5-7 teams. So which side of the argument are they using here? It's a sad, sad day when you have to brag about beating a 9 loss team.

lmfao.

And thought from the headline he was wearing the costume at the time?
August 31st, 2010 at 7:55 PM ^
They have a better football program than Michigan.
