What they don't understand is that we (almost) always wear Scarlet at games.

My high school was doing COLOR Outs in the late 90s, before their first Penn State white out. They don't have any actual traditions, just traditions they stole from other programs and claim as their own.For the record, I'm not a fan of telling the fans what color to wear. It's pretty lame. That black-out was a little fun, but not fun enough to brag about. Penn State, we all know, boasts about their "White Out".
Anyway, Ohio State is going to wear all scarlet for Penn State's game. At least, that's according to this post. https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/buckeyes-to-scarlet-the-shoe-for-the-penn-state-game.991993/ I won't lose any sleep over it, though.
But I found this post funny:
That just reminded me that they took the idea from Winnipeg.

Winnipeg White Out
The Winnipeg White Out is a hockey tradition that dates back to 1987 when hockey fans in Winnipeg were asked to wear white clothing to home playoff games in Winnipeg, creating a very intimidating effect and atmosphere. It was created as a response to the "C of Red" created by fans of the Calgary...icehockey.fandom.com
So, Winnipeg was actually imitating Calgary. If anyone can say we're imitating anyone, it's Calgary and their "C of Red".

...and we don't overlook pedastry.What they don't understand is that we (almost) always wear Scarlet at games.

I actually disagree. I think the media made the Michigan “scandal” a much bigger deal than it actually was. I think the problem is that people are naturally much more freaked out by 10 year old boys getting sodomized in the shower than a team doctor getting too touchy-feels with college athletes. That’s why I believe Penn Staters need to focus on the fact that sodomy in the shower never happened, not that “other schools are just as guilty as Penn State”.
Glad to hear you are still a Penn State fan.
I am a PENN STATE Alumnus, Class of 1985. Not just a “fan”
If you really want to break their brains....try living here but not liking local teams.The thread is pretty boring, but I got a good quote for why I really dislike that fanbase. I think a lot of them feel this way. People who went to Penn State are better than people didn't - even Penn State's fans.![]()
The Lions Den: Penn State Nittany Lions Football Message Board
The community spot for insider Penn State football, recruiting, basketball, wrestling, and hockey talk.pennstate.forums.rivals.com
"I look down on you lowly peasants who didn't go to Penn State. Feel free to kiss my boots when I walk by."
Edit - I had a boss like this. He's a Penn State grad. I like him, but he's got this same mindset. And another co-worker (now retired) - same thing. Penn State grad, Penn State fan. Any time they'd see me in an Ohio State shirt (which was often), "But you didn't go to Ohio State?" "Nope. I grew up in Columbus, though, and went to probably 40 games before I graduated high school. I never missed a football game, except for the rare times that it wasn't on TV." "Where'd you go to college?" Of course, now even a dummy like me can see the point in all this. "Case Western Reserve, and I'll tell you what: If they ever play Ohio State in football, I'll go buy a CWRU shirt and wear it for the game." That would usually end the conversation.
Being a Bronco hater in Colorado is similar, but I think you have it way worse.If you really want to break their brains....try living here but not liking local teams.
They also somehow have a problem differentiating "Ohio" and "Ohio State"....despite the fact that they also have State in their name.
HOA in Aurora, CO told me I had to take down an Ohio State flag. So I drove around and took pics of all of the Broncos flags. Told them I would take it down when those came down. I won that battle but they kept finding new petty shit.Being a Bronco hater in Colorado is similar, but I think you have it way worse.

It's not upsetting that they get it wrong, it's upsetting that they're so stupid to not be able to realize there's a difference between the two in the same way there's a difference between Penn and Penn State. Upsetting in a way that's like.....we're all humans. If you're capable of being this much of a dumbass.......what does that mean for me?I know other people on here get mad with the Ohio vs. Ohio State thing. I never cared when the Teddy Bear up north did it. I never cared when Penn State fans did it. I mean, it's in our fight songs. It was on our scoreboard until about the 80's.
But it does make it much more fun when the Bobcats win games.
