It\’s tough to be blue and white in the Badgers\’ den. So when the No. 6 Penn State football team travels Saturday, Oct. 11, to Madison, Wis., the Nittany Lion faithful can gather at a game-day pep rally organized by the Penn State Alumni Association.
The pep rally will be in Lot 60, at the west end of campus under a tent near Lake Mendota. The pep rally tent will open at 4 p.m., with the rally itself beginning at 5 p.m. Like all Penn State Alumni Association pep rallies, the Wisconsin pep rally will feature the Penn State Pep Band, the Nittany Lion, cheerleaders, and some rallying words from Penn State President Graham Spanier, Alumni Association Executive Director Roger Williams and Athletic Director Tim Curley.
The other two Penn State pep rallies also will be in tents close to the football stadiums. The pep rallies, their start times and locations are:
— Oct. 25, 5 p.m. Ohio State: Location is southeast corner of Fawcett Conference Center under a tent, 2400 Olentangy River Road, Columbus, Ohio; and
— Nov. 8, time to be announced, Iowa: Location is Hawkeye Village on the original Grant Field, adjacent to the Kenyon Practice Facility, Iowa City, Iowa.
All pep rally tents open three hours before kickoff, and the pep rally program begins two hours before kickoff. Pep rallies are free to all Penn State alumni and Nittany Lion fans. The away game pep rallies are sponsored in part by the Alumni Association\’s business partner Bank of America.
