My name is Jordan Sakal and I have been a life-long Penn State fan. My father was a Penn State student and alumnus from the 1970s and he instilled in me a deep and abiding love of all Penn State sports, most especially football. I remember my fandom through the last of the lean JoePa years, through the glories of ‘05 and ‘08 and 2016 too. I eagerly await each year the return of sports optimism to Penn State like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano.
My favourite Penn State memory involves attending a game with my dad against Temple at Beaver Stadium.
