A big win and a riotous aftermath in State College, Pa.
Dr. Saturday —
Certain Penn State students didn't look so good before last year's home loss to Ohio State [Warning: that link may not be for the church-bound this morning], and a much larger number aren't going to come out of last night's win in Columbus with reputations intact following post-game riots back in State College:
A celebration of Penn State’s 13-6 win over Ohio State on Saturday turned destructive as people pulled down light poles and street signs, climbed atop cars and tossed objects off balconies in downtown State College.
Revelers in the crowd, which stretched from Beaver to College avenues, between ...
What Is a Big Win Without a Riot

Filed under: Penn State, Big 10, NCAA FB VideoIt just goes hand-in-hand. Win a big game, celebrate on the street. Start destroying property, set some fires. Wait for the police to show up in riot gear and with pepper spray. Oh, and be sure to record it. Definitely record it. Penn State students celebrating the 13-6 win had plenty of energy to spare. And judging by the volume of videos already out there, plenty of cameras going. Want to see more? More video clips after the jump. Supposedly, couches on fire. Who needs to go to West Virginia to see ...

Penn State … Knows How to Riot
The Big Lead —
Happy Valley, Saturday night: “Hundreds of people were maced and police were able to clear the streets around 1:30 a.m., after more than two hours of the disturbance … Students cheered for Penn State, screamed obscenities about Ohio State, body surfed and climbed street light poles to get better angles for cell phone photos of the crowd.” Docile, actually.
Next time you might want to put the security cameras on sturdier structures
Doubt About It —
(Yes, it took my Penn State homerism to come back from "retirement". I'm sure this post doesn't make up for it.) While this video is probably the best of the youtubes put up of the riots in State College after the 13-6 Nittany Lion victory on Saturday night, none quite do the justice that the mace-filled video does at the Collegian website (second video down in the list.) Reaction to the game has been mixed, as there are already those out there (1 2) decrying the weak Big Ten schedule and assuming that Penn State will just follow in line with OSU's poor ...

Because the police can even handle it or break it up. This was the scene outside of PSU with fans streaming toilet paper, screaming obscenities about "The Ohio State University," and getting ready for the rest of their cupcake schedule as they see a National Title berth on the horizon. What a year it's been for Pennsylvania so far. It looks like the Phillies have all but wrapped it up, and the Nittany Lions may win one last one for old man Joe. I don't know how confident you folks out in Happy Valley are, but judging from the riot, its time to go on yoonew.com and ...
