My All-Time Favorite: The Dave Robinson Penn State Jersey You know how it is when you've got that one thing that just screams “home” and “good times” all rolled into one? Well, for me, it's my Dave Robinson Penn State Jersey – the bright blue and white threads that have seen me through more college football highs and lows than I can count. I first laid eyes on it during a chaotic back-to-school shopping spree at the campus store. I was elbow-deep in notebooks and pens, trying to get my semester supplies sorted, when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted that #89 gleaming under the fluorescent lights. It was like the jersey was calling my name, saying, “Hey, you! Wanna be part of something real special?” And who was I to say no? Now, Dave Robinson – that man was a legend in these parts. When he played for the PSU Nittany Lions, he wasn't just another player on the field. He was the kind of guy who could turn a game on its head all by himself. I remember sitting in the stands as a wide-eyed freshman, watching old game tapes with my dorm mates, and every time Robinson made a play, we'd all go nuts. Whether he was leaping up to snag an impossible interception or barreling down the field, laying hits on the opposing team like it was his job (which, well, it was!), he had this energy that was downright infectious. The day I finally got to wear my new prized possession to a game was unforgettable. I put it on that morning, and I swear, I stood a little taller, walked a little prouder. As I made my way to Beaver Stadium, it was like I had a secret weapon. People were giving me nods and thumbs-ups left and right, all because of that #89 on my back. And when I got to my seat, I was instantly part of the action.
