I see that a lot of college football programs are commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11. is Penn State planning anything special.

It was a such a mixed bag of emotions being in Beaver Stadium against Wisconsin just days after 9/11. I was happy to have our football Saturdays back, scared thinking 110,000 people in one location could be another terrorist target, sad when they played the national anthem, and pissed off with the terrible game that day. Never felt anything like that day in Beaver.

Same feelings here. I was at that game.

Not just the 9/11 victims that day.. All the service members who gave their lives the last twenty years since this began.

God Bless them and our country.
It’s an ongoing thing for the 9/11 first responders. What they saw, the friends they lost, that’s a burden, an unspeakable burden. And WaPo recently had an article about how many first responders are exhibiting “alarming cognitive decline.” Ground Zero was Hell on Earth, no question.

I am sure that there are many 9/11 connections to PSU and PSU Football.

One that I am aware of is back up place kicker and punter on 1985 and 1986 team Pat Dwyer died when the twin towers fell.
RIp Pat. Good dude.
