Decency: Some, but not like Central Pennsylvania

Only Penn State qualifies for the only living legend in college that is still coaching.

Ohio State fans are far more respectful of the opponents fans than any other school in the Big Ten.
Penn State fans are among the worst.

When it comes to Big 10 football, I love it, Especially here in Columbus.

Simone has it right !! While the football game may be a toss-up as to who will win, the State College area is VERY pretty in the fall, worth visiting. As an old OSU engineering alum, my Ohio-based company had a consultant (professor at PSU) in State College back in the 1970s, so we had a great excuse to visit. The Big Ten has a number of very beautiful campuses, and State College is certainly among them.

Decency is something that is a little too arbitrary to judge, don't you think? Penn State has a night where the kids streak around campus. That sounds indecent. Hmmm...

I'm fond of State College,PA & Columbus, OH & Columbia,MO: 3 great college/university towns...When I was a little girl, our family used to visit State College,PA often & Penn State U. and a nearby place called "Fisherman's Paradise" to fish. The streams were stocked, very clear water that you could see the rainbow trout that you tried to catch. Bellefonte PA is the site for a big Stamp Association for stamp collectors. State College,PA has great ice cream & some good restaurants. OSU & Penn State has 2 of the best college football coaches in the USA.
