Folks its been great getting to know some of you who have reached out and private messaged about our upcoming tailgate. Currently we have as many Auburn fans coming to the tailgate as PSU fans!!! That's awesome. For those making the trip, you're going to love your time here. Game time temp should be in the 70's. Perhaps even more exciting is the fact that a record might be set on Saturday. 110,823 is the all time record at Beaver Stadium. From a friend who works in the athletic office, as long as the weather holds, we could see the record toppled this week on the verge of 111,000. My hope is that everyone treats your fans with class. If you make the trip and run into some morons, understand that those few are typically out of towners who don't represent the good natured people of central Pennsylvania.
As for the game, as long as its close... it will be loud. According to university experiments done in the past, at over 142 decibels, the sound produced on field at a Whiteout can generate more volume than a jet taking off from an aircraft carrier which normally runs at 130 decibels.... It's really a site to behold. Looking at both teams, I think they are well matched up for this game. In short, I don't expect anyone to run away with it. IMO, who makes the most mistakes, i.e. turnovers and special teams miss cues.. etc.. that will determine the winner in this one. I think the Vegas line of -6 Penn State is fair and expect this one to go down in the books. If this were at Auburn I could easily see this line from Vegas flipped. I will say this however, Sean Clifford has got to have his s*** together this week otherwise your D will have a field day.
My prediction is 24-21 PSU. I give the nod to Penn State for the 12th man generated by the Whiteout.
