Penn State vs. Minnesota


Saturday we added another win to the year - an overtime win over Minnesota.  

We had a big group in State College this weekend - in addition to the five of us in our family we had two of our friends from out of town and my aunt, uncle and cousin (who's first game it was!) up for the tailgate and game. 

Saturday morning started off pretty rainy but we still headed down to tailgate - rain pants, boots and all - under the canopy with a condensed amount of things.  The rain pretty much let up right as we got to the lot other than a quick ten minute downpour and things were dry for the game other than a little mist/light drizzle here and there.


On the menu this week was meatball sliders for the main course.  We started off with an assorted cheese platter, chick fil a nuggets, tailgate dip, buffalo chicken dip, peppers and finished off with a cookie/game day pretzels tray.


The first half was pretty quiet and the last few minutes were a whole new ball game ending in an overtime win - it was an exciting night in Happy Valley! 

Despite the weather it was a great weekend and a great win.


Looking forward to our next weekend in State College!

  1. Looks like a great game with lots of great food pregame! I'm also a huge fan of games that are on the cooler side because I hate sweating in the stadium!

  4. Love that you guys braved the rain and toughed it out! I'm waiting on pins and needles to see if our home game is going to be canceled this weekend or if I get to sit in the rain like you did! Glad you guys made the best of it! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

  9. You're so lucky that you had cooler weather for your game this past weekend even if it did involve a little bit of rain. Ours was super sunny and BLAZING hot. I'm ready for it to cool off down here!

  10. Congrats on the overtime win, that's awesome! Rain during a football game is always the worst, but I'm glad that it let up and that y'all were still able to enjoy tailgating and the big win!
