A man walked by wearing khaki pants speckled with small navy blue Nittany Lion heads -- pant legs properly rolled up.
"I'm going to buy you a pair of Penn State pants, Mike," Shelia Schrader said, pointing out the passing Penn State fan.
"Oh no, you're not," he said.
Mike was wearing a bright blue sweatshirt with the word "Buffalo" in block letters on it and swiftly denied ever wanting a pair of "Penn State pants."
Mike Williams, a University of Buffalo alumnus of 1984, was visiting Penn State for the first time to watch his daughter play in Buffalo's marching band during halftime of Saturday's game.
Schrader and her husband, both visiting Penn State fans, said they met Williams in an interesting way.
Three years ago on a cruise ship, they were seated next to each other and "within 15 minutes, we weren't strangers anymore," Schrader said.
Williams said Penn State fans were treating him well, noting how few Buffalo fans there were.
"As long as [Penn State] only wins by 20 points, it's a win [for Buffalo]," he said.
Penn State won by 21 points: 45-24.
Judy Burgio, from Buffalo, N.Y., didn't attend the University at Buffalo but was in State College this weekend to watch her son -- senior offensive lineman Jon Burgio -- play.
She said she had no problems with rowdy Penn State fans.
"The Penn State fans have been wonderful ... actually giving me things," she said as she revealed a Penn State football button displaying Joe Paterno with rolled-up pant legs.
The only problem she said she and her husband encountered was the weather.
"They say we brought the weather," she said wrapped in a letterman-like jacket to shield from the chilly weather.
The family of redshirt freshman Peter D. Bittner, Buffalo's starting left tackle, also made the trip to State College.
His dad, Peter B. Bittner, said the fans weren't a problem Saturday or when they visited Penn State in the spring of 2005 for Nike Football Camp.
"We had a good time then, too," he said.
His wife, Diane Bittner, said they were in Philadelphia playing in 94-degree weather last week, so the Happy Valley winds were a big difference.
"It's the biggest stadium we've ever played in," she added. "The last time [Buffalo] played Penn State was 107 years ago."
Doreen Poplawski, Diane's sister and a Buffalo alumna, said coming to Penn State was a positive experience.
"It's absolutely amazing," she said. "The size of the stadium, the enthusiasm of the fans is really something. You can tell it's game day."
