Yesterday the College Football season offically began across the country, I partook in the festivities in Happy Valley. After a 4 hour drive and a 2 mile hike through mud and rain we made it to the first bar we could find, Bill Pickle’s Tap Room. There we caught some early games on television and warmed our souls with a couple pitchers of beer before heading to the stadium.

Besides the continous rain the game was good and oddly enough there was really no running game by either team. Penn State managed to pull away late in the third quarter for a 34-16 victory. Penn State’s Quarterback Athony Morelli made his collegiate debut yesterday against Akron going 16-of-32 206 yards with three touchdowns.

The photograph above was my view from the game. As you can see it was pretty wet.
