Speaking of Penn St, I drove by State College for the first time last week. I was blown away at how rural and isolated it felt. For a major college athletics program, it felt like it was literally in the middle of precisely nowhere.
It is isolated, but next to an interstate. Have you been to Pullman? Of course you can argue that it’s not home to a “major” college athletics program.
Pullman may as well be on the moon.
This struck a cord. Years ago my wife and I were at PSU for an OHIO game. Two dudes behind us were talking and one asks the other, where is this school -- Ohio University located? The other one answers and says, "Some place in southern Ohio in the middle of nowhere." My wife turns around immediately and says to both of them, "Where do you think we are now?" You should have seen the looks on their faces! Kind of shut them up. It was hilarious!
