That's kinda like the Pedster Cult calling Columbus ( with a Metro area population of well over 1 million people) a "cow town" when their little twisted village out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere requires you to park in an actual cow pasture at their erector set stadium.

Yet another parallel between those two cults.
I've been to Clemson's stadium and campus and saw it first hand. But the closest I've ever been to State College is driving by the exit for it on I-80 (And I think it's about 15-20 miles from that exit).
All I can say about State College, PA is that it is 20 miles south of the middle of nowhere.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Penn State has the worst fan base in the country and second place (whoever they are) aren't even close. It isn't recent either, here's a 2009 article:
Penn State's Fans: The Worst in College Football?
I've just been reading an intriguing piece about crowd trouble at football games that was highlighted by a front page picture of fans tearing down goalposts, which everyone else thinks is a pretty romantic notion. That includes ESPN, which see rushing the field as something romantic.
But now, that sort of outpouring of delirium is seen as trouble.
Before I get to the Penn State bit of this article, I was pretty stunned to find out that a Red Sox fan had been reprimanded for using the "S" word when his beloved pitcher gave up a dinger at Fenway Park.
What is the world coming to when you can't use the odd epithet when being at a game. In the UK, it's all part of the chanting! OK, there are some people who go over the top (nobody's perfect when it comes to bad language—particularly at a sports event in which you are passionately involved in), but isn't that part of the game.
It shouldn't be, but isn't it?
Anyway, back to the boys at State College. According to ESPN, Penn State police reported 397 incidents in 2008, 62 percent of which involved alcohol. That's more than double the estimated 177 incidents in 2006. Over those three years, the highest number, 101 incidents, came on Oct. 27, 2007, during a game against Ohio State.
Behavior at the 2005 game wasn't great either. And we're certainly not proud of the behavior outside the frat house in 2007 , which saw OSU fans bombarded with cans.
Those are the sort of things which let us down, Nittany Nation.

Unfortunately the writer has a negative comment about Ohio State and Georgia fans too.....

More TaterNet Tomfoolery. Those Potato Pedsters really have a high sense of self-importance.
At least this time they were able to keep these two comments in the same thread instead of making three separate threads for them:

I like how they insist that this "Paw Journey" Program is what led to their success, not having Watson, Lawrence, and some killer WR's and DL for a few years with FSU being historically bad.
