What a night Saturday was. It was a night game. It was a white out. It was a crisp fall evening. It was vs Ohio State. It was a huge victory. It's now the first time since the scandal and the sanctions that Penn State is ranked again - #24.
We kicked things off early before it got dark with buffalo dip, mexican dip, crockpot meatballs, cheese roll ups and such. We had a big group so for dinner we went with pulled pork and crockpot potato soup to help keep warm and some cookies and treats from Carlo's Bakery for dessert.
There isn't anything quite like a white out and this one was electrifying. Our favorites Kirk Herbstreit and Sam Ponder were in town to call the game and sideline report. The weather was crazy to say the least - high winds, quite chilly and even unexpected rain for a little bit. From the start of the game things were close until we were down by 14 and came back to win in the final minutes knocking off the number two team and plenty of people rushing the field in white.
It was a great night in Happy Valley and I think everyone is still celebrating!
Your tailgates are always the best. It looks like such a great time. And a little cold. :)
ReplyDeleteWinning in the last few minutes of the game is always so scary - glad you guys were able to pull out a win and a pretty epic tailgate! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm not as happy about the outcome of the game as you are but since it was a huge win for you guys I'm glad you had such a great time! And even though it looks like it was freezing, you guys had an amazing tailgate set up, as always! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect night for football - especially with the win at the end!
ReplyDeleteBorn and raised a Michigan fan, and growing up in Ann Arbor my whole life, we were seriously rooting for y'all this weekend! We too were very happy with the outcome ;) We spend a lot of time tailgating since we are also season ticket holders and I love all of your recipes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a game! I'm still celebrating and it wasn't even my team! ... but y'all knocking off #2 OSU checked one team off my list of undefeated teams ahead of Clemson. Now I just need to find someone to beat Michigan and the untouchable Alabama... Looks like y'all had such a great time at the game & glad that you got to be there in person for that one!
ReplyDeleteYour tailgate always looks delicious! I couldn't believe how big the crowd was on your snap!
ReplyDeleteahhh I was so excited too!!! so wish I was there! killing the tailgate scene as always! :)
ReplyDeleteTalk about a great win! I saw your snaps from the game and then looked up the score and was so excited for y'all! I keep on hoping that we'll have a cool weather game like the one that y'all had!
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy game!! And I wasn't mad that Ohio State got beaten!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun game!! Can't believe how much y'all are bundled up lol
