Even though there wasn’t a Blue-White Game on Saturday, it didn’t keep fans from tailgating — virtually.
Nittany Lions fans across the country dressed in their best blue and white, donned their Penn State-themed face masks and joined in virtual tailgating via the Zoom online conferencing app and through social media using the hashtag #BWVirtualTailgate.
