Penn State Football, Never Leaving

This isn't about the university, this isn't about Jerry Sandusky or Joe Paterno, this is about Penn State football. Moving forward is going to be hard yes, but its' going to happen. Penn State football will always be about plain uniforms, home-field advantage, and having the best fans in the nation. When you come to Beaver Stadium and you're about to enter the gate, think about why you're at Beaver Stadium; you came to this game to see Penn State football put on a show in front of 110,00 people screaming at the top of their lungs for the team they love. You didn't come to talk about Jerry Sandusky, you didn't come to talk about what happened when, you came to watch football. You came to see Silas Redd slash and dash into the endzone, you came to see Jordan Hill rip down the quaterback for a big hit. Coming to Beaver Stadium is about seeing those blue uniforms and plain white helmets, hearing four simple words echo throughout the 110,000 seat stadium, "We Are, Penn State", and when you attend a Penn State football game, you know what that means.
The road ahead for Penn State is a steep one, but none steeper than the one the football team faces. The questions are asked by the hundreds; how will they move on without Joe Paterno? what is the team going to look like? will the fans still come out? Jerry Sandusky this and that. Those questions will be answered starting Saturday September 1, when Ohio comes to Beaver Stadium. Success may or may not come right away, but I've said it before and I'll say it before because it is what I believe in and what I've grown accustom to, WE are Penn State. The football team is Penn State, the 45,000 plus student body is Penn State, the alumni are Penn State, and those who bleed blue and white are Penn State. We will come out every Saturday and show the team that WE still have their back. Every Saturday WE will show the nation, the media, and everyone who doubts us that we aren't down and that we will be back stronger than ever because we are one. It's going to be different, the mood might not be the same, but sometimes change can be a good thing. The old saying "don't judge a book by its cover" isn't more true than it is with Penn State. You don't know what we're about and you don't know who we are, but WE do. We know what Penn State is about, and it's not what you're hearing, and come September 1st we will prove to everyone that no matter what is said or written, we won't be knocked down and we will continue to be Penn State.
