It’s a very sad day for many reasons. And it’s a very strange mix of emotions, especially for Penn Staters.  Here’s a quote published in 1968 from an interview with Dan Jenkins at SI :  “We’re trying to win football games, don’t misunderstand that. But I don’t want it to ruin our lives if we lose. I don’t want us ever to become the kind of place where an 8-2 season is a tragedy. Look at that day outside. It’s clear, it’s beautiful, the leaves are turning, the land is pretty and it’s quiet. If losing a game made me miserable, I couldn’t enjoy such a day. I tell the kids who come here to play, enjoy yourselves. There’s so much besides football. Art, history, literature, politics.”
