We are... Penn State!
That phrase is familiar to Penn State students, alumni, and fans all around the world. It is regularly heard at Penn State sporting events of all kinds. If you're sporting Penn State apparel on the other side of the country, a fellow Penn Stater may spot you and shout out a "We are," and you had better not leave him or her hanging!
The phrase has its origins back in 1946 when the football team at the time refused to play against a segregated university in Florida. When the team was told that it would need to leave its black players at home, the Penn State players unanimously agreed to cancel the game. The following season, lineman Steve Suhey said of the issue "We are Penn State," and the team stood united. The entire team would play together, or it would not play at all.
So whether or not you count yourself as a Penn State fan, the next time you hear the words "We are... Penn State," you will now know it is more than just a cheer.
We are... Penn State!
