About

I am an avid Penn State football fan. As of the PSU-Wisconsin game at Beaver Stadium on November 24, 2012, I have attended 146 games in a row anywhere in the country that Penn State has played, and I have missed only 4 of the games played anywhere since 1990. My husband Terry has attended every Penn State football game (282 in a row) since September 1990. I have also witnessed 308 games in person since I started following Penn State football. My husband Terry has witnessed 445 games in person since 1970.

In 1997 I became a marketing professor at the Smeal College of Business at Penn State University after a career in telecommunications. I credit this career change to Penn State football!

The opinions I express on this site are my own. They do not reflect the positions of Penn State, Penn State Athletics, or the Smeal College of Business.

If you wish to follow me more closely you can view my full blog at www.viewfromstands.blogspot.com including slide shows of photos from each game.

Short List

    Matt McGloin, Michael Mauti, Michael Zordich, and all other athletes who stayed after the NCAA sanctions were announced.Kerry Collins, Courtney Brown, Michael Robinson, David Macklin, Paul Posluzsny, Sean Lee, Tyrell Sales, Eric Shrive, Glenn Carson, and many others from Penn State

    Penn State Nittany Lions

  • Favorite Coaches

    Joe Paterno, Joe Battista, Patrick Chambers, Coquese Washington, Bill O'Brien

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    The 2005 Football Season. But for one second at Michigan on a questionable call, we would have been undefeated. Sweet vindication for following the team for 4 out of 5 losing seasons. Orange Bowl against Florida State capped an incredible season.

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    Penn State-Alabama, 1990. Favorite game. I've attended 278 of the last 282 games Penn State has played anywhere in the country. So there are lots of memorable games.

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Joe Paterno 409 wins as Head Coach at Penn State since 1966. Never mind what the NCAA says.

    Carolyn, I have stopped contributing for the time being so I can focus on some other projects. I'm not shutting down my account though so I can leave the door open. If you follow me on Twitter you can easily find me!

    Thank you for your response, Carolyn! I just wanted to make sure that you had a good time in East Lansing.

    Go State!

    Do you enjoy yourself at Spartan Stadium? We are kind to PSU fans, in my opinion.

    I enjoy State College and Notre Dame Stadium. While I'm in Columbus, I lay low and actually wear OSU gear. I rent a car in Toledo, OH--just so I don't have MI plates.

    PSU is an awesome experience. I hope you have fun in East Lansing.

    Go State!
