re: Weirdest away team fanbase you've ever seen at your team's tailgate area

Penn State
Their fans absolutely trashed the Alabama campus when they visited ten years ago or whatever.

They left trash everywhere, it was like they had no idea that going to a football game didn't give random people the right to just drop their beers and and whatever else wherever they happened to be like a two year old.

Something I will never forget.

In 1979 I was driving back from Florida to Oklahoma during Christmas break. Alabama had just beaten Penn State in the Sugar Bowl to claim the national championship.

I decided to stop by the Alabama campus on my way back to visit an OU friend who was in grad school.

He took me on a jog walk tour of the campus on the next Sunday morning after the game. We noticed that some Penn State fans had come through Tuscaloosa on their way to New Orleans and had defaced the Bama campus... spray painting "We are Penn State" in a number of places.

Pretty much gave me a negative image of Penn State right then and there.
