I’ll be at the Wisconsin game tomorrow and it will be my first Penn State game live since the 2019 Cotton Bowl and my first home game in about 25 years. A combination of age, health, distance and raising kids has prevented me from getting back for a home game. I’m 75 now, grew up in Punxsutawney and a lifelong fan. Like so many other people my age I left western PA for employment, never came back. The first Penn State game I remember watching was the 69 Orange bowl, when I would have been 19 years old. But since then I remember where I was and who I was with for so many memorable games. So, super excited to be back in Happy Valley tomorrow and can’t wait to see the stadium. Wish me luck.

Hope you have a great time. Last live game I saw was when we beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl For the NC. We live in Colorado and our son Zach is a CU graduate. One of his buds from here went to PSU so he has actually travelled and made it to 2 Whiteout games. At 77 not sure I will get to another game at the Beav. Enjoy !

Wow, that sounds great! Enjoy. I've recently relocated well outside driving range of State College so it may be sometime before I get to a game next. Are you visiting Punxsy at all. Most of my wife's family is all from there. Possible you may know some of them. Eiser, Taladay, Cassidy. Tough to make a living there.

My grandmother’s family lived in Punxsy.

I grew up around the corner from Taladays. Matt is. A hell of a guitar player. My brother played with him in a band.

Nope.

Speaking relationship. We’re not drinking buddies or anything.

That won’t happen. I’m all in for Matt Campbell.
