Of course Saturday is all about bringing The Pig home.

Here's one rendition of history. Link:

I'm interested in other renditions too. Even Wikipedia has some merit for such things (kids just don't use it as a reference).

We came a long way with the birth of this trophy. This is history that both schools can be proud of.

Bring Floyd Home!

Very interesting Billd. I was not aware of Ozzie Simmons.

This is how a game trophy is supposed to evolve. That stupid bell can stay in State College until the sun swallows up the earth as far as I'm concerned.
 


I really like the design from this 1936 Homecoming matchup vs Iowa. It's a little psychedelic with the crazed carnival barker.
