Get there early, find a seat in front of a TV, and tell the waitress you want to order lots of stuff if she makes sure the PSU-OSU game is on the TV in front of you.
Worked for me in Texas for a Pens playoff game.........
And the rest of the story was that a Texan sat down next to me and started a conversation. He noticed I "wasn't from here" and proceded to tell me 3 things about people from rural Texas (Longview)
1. We carry guns
2. We hate Obama
I can't remember the 3rd.........
