The title says it all. We are making the trek east and will be in State College Friday-Sunday. Anyone know if any Oregon gatherings or tailgates?

Pete,

Recommend you shoot a note out to Charles, (Mr. Fishduck) and see what his plans are generally for the charter group he is leading to State College for the game. I suspect he (or someone else) has some activities planned besides just taking a bus to the hotel and then on to the game or just going to the stadium.

I would be shocked if the charter group of Ducks was not greeted warmly, hailed, and invited to visit a number of tailgates outside the stadium in the parking areas. I don't believe the Nittany Lion boosters and fans have realized the Ducks can beat them, or they could lose this game to the Ducks. This will be an educational game for all of us.

Keep an eye out for when we kick off. The Buckeyes weren't expecting that kick-off ball to ricochet off the DBs' chest last year at Autzen.

Best regards and VR,

Send me a PM with your email address and I will email you the details (time, location, map, etc.) of the tailgate party that NJDuck has been coordinating.

Here's some general information on Beaver Stadium, including where to go for pre-game activities.

Hi Pete,

If you PM me thru messaging your email I can send you information as to one of the tailgates Oregon and Penn St. fans are gathering. Will need to know how many in your party that wants to attend.

Thanks,

thanks! messaging you now

I would guess that just by walking around outside the stadium in Duck gear before he game, several aggregations of PSU fans are likely to try to start a conversation by offering something to eat and drink. In the big faceoff in Athens against Notre Dame in 2019, I saw Georgia folk engaging he ND fans all over the place the morning (and afternoon) before the game. I asked many Irish fans if they were having a good time on campus and everyone said they loved the Southern Hospitality they were receiving, We did a lot of joking though that it wouldn't be that way Between the Hedges in Sanford Stadium once the sun went down. I suspect some of you will meet PSU fans like that. Just stay away from the students.

Incidentally, You may be interested to know that the blogging procrastinators on the Dawg site in which I participate pretty universally predict OBD to win this game and many don't think it will be close. This reflects, I think, the regard they have for Lanning and the lack thereof for Franklin ever winning big games. Thought you might find the sentiment in Dawg land interesting so I am passing it along.
