AJ Wallace returns the 2nd half kickoff for a great gain. The crowd gets into zombie nation.

The Penn State fans are wearing white.

@guarddog22 Why do you worry about a team winning or losing? I am a GO BIG RED FAN! :) but I have been known to not watch 3 games in a row (atleast two) and not care! If my biggest problem in life was NU winning or not I would love that life for a week right now. as of right now, I have a job I have to deal with as well as school as well as trying to save enough money to be more financially independent from my parents than I am. So NU can lose every game and it doesn't matter 1 iota.

@guarddog22 LOL. Humans have a very natural tribalistic instinct which going to sporting events (which are a surrogate for war) arouses. It's an excuse to party with friends and rally around your team. It's your community vs. another community. People like to be part of something. In college, it's technically your classmates and friends facing off against the other teams. Of course whether or not Wisconsin wins (Wisconsin badgers) doesn't affect my life but it the community aspect.

@guarddog22 Wisconsin... lol...

@TehSmellulare Like...you say you're a "badger" ? That means....?

[guarddog22]

@TehSmellulare I HAVE though, and I thought it was so stupid. A party is fine, and food, and...but why do you need a football game to do that??? It doesn't make the slightest difference, in anybody's life, whether one team wins or not. I can see the olympics having a bit more sense, since it represents countries, but...even that's kind of illogical. Football games would only really make sense if teams were divided into religions, races, political parties...something like that.

@modifygamerz gross.... but true.

[a2r1v1i2s]

football is more important than anything i guess...... at penn state.

@guarddog22 You've obviously never experienced college football. The Saturday games (esp night games) are an experience like no other. Imagine a day-long party on a mini-holiday involving good food and fun with your fellow tailgaters and then heading into a huge stadium with your friends and thousands of college-aged buddies in the prime of their lives.

I don't even go to Penn State (badger here) but I imagine this is true across college football and probably sporting events around the world.

Why do people want one school's football team to win over any other? In what is just a game. Just because they go to the same school? Isn't that kind of retarded? Do they think a football team (different players every year) winning or losing somehow reflects on them? It's suck a strange thing. I guess it's for needy people who have to feel like....a part of something?
