Was working in downtown Atlanta yesterday and had a few minutes after my meetings before heading to airport to fly home.

So I ducked into the gift shop of the College Football Hall of Fame. There as not one single piece of Penn State merchandise in the entire store. Now this is not Slippery Rock - but one of the winningest programs of all time with an alumni base larger than anyone.

Just in case you were wondering, there was plenty of Ohio State items front and center and even that other paragon of virtue: Michigan State. I guess the CFA has zero problems with what went on there?!

Pathetic!!!

Perhaps they all sold out.

Sincerely hope you talked to someone there and lodged a complaint before you left!

The CFB Hall is an awesome place. We absorb loved it. We noticed the same thing in the gift shop in 2017 and commented on it. We actually did ask the staff if they had any PSU items and they said no. We laughed and said they must have sold out of everything.

We we surprised by how many Penn Staters were in the Hall that we hadn’t heard of. Nice surprise.

The thing that pissed me off the most though was that Joe was not included on the “Coaches Legends Wall of Quotes”. I believe it was commissioned and painted shortly after the debacle. Still irks me to this day but I’d recommend if you’re a CFB fan, you must visit.

Did not have time. But I think I will contact then to get an explanation.

Sent this:
Why no Penn State merchandise in your store? One of the winningest programs in NCAA history, best record in bowl games, many PSU student-athletes in the Hall, largest alumni association in USA , winningest coach of all time - and yet not one item from Penn State?

Please don’t tell me that this about Sandusky? He was convicted of crimes committed as an ex-PSU employee.

And if that is the reason, I noticed Michigan State and Ohio State items for sale - front and center? No issue with these school with crimes committed by their University employees that were 100’s times worse than Sandusky?

So do tell - why no PSU?

If you’re a Penn State fan, you must burn it down to the ground.

F*ck the place.
