Journey to Happy Valley, part 1.5
I forgot one funny story at the end of the night.
RytheRed, a friend of his from Michigan, and I were walking back to our RV around 1:30. We ran into this large group of Penn State fans. They briefly heckled us and then started chatting with us since we were all going to the same RV lot. I think most of the guys were around 30 years old. AS it turns out, one of the guys was Chad Henne's high school math teacher. He raved about how great a person Chad is. He said Henne is smart, kind, and humble. He held doors open for people and was pleasant to everyone. He was extremely proud of Henne even though he spurned Penn State. Apparently Henne was booed at his home games during his senior year after he committed to play college ball at Michigan. I asked the guy what he thought of Morelli, the Penn State QB. He pointed to a large tree nearby and said that that tree is about as smart as Morelli.
We had to walk by the stadium to get to our lot. As we got close to "Paternoville", a cop stopped us. The PSU fans freaked out since they had open containers. After she made them dump their beers, she radioed that she had the Michigan fans. Apparently, they were on the lookout for the three of us in Michigan gear. They were instructed to stop us from walking through "Paternoville" since they thought we were going there looking for a fight. After chatting with the police officer, she realized that we were not looking for any fight. We just wanted to show off our beautiful sweatshirts while taking the most direct route to our parking lot. Unfortunately, the officer told us that we had to walk all the way around the stadium. Apparently, the students in "Paternoville" were extremely drunk and she could not guarantee our safety if we walked directly through the heart of the tent city.
The PSU fans took the long route with us and helped us get back to the lot so that we did not get lost. Very nice people.
