Penn State fans in attendance of Saturday’s “College GameDay” didn’t hold back in support of their Nittany Lions.

Or, perhaps, they didn’t hold back in their disdain for Auburn ahead of the Tigers’ game with the homestanding Nittany Lions.

As has become as much a tradition as marching bands and student sections, homemade signs were on display for the popular ESPN pregame show.

They didn’t disappoint.

“College GameDay” broadcast from the Old Main Lawn on Penn State’s campus ahead of the White Out game at Beaver Stadium, as the No. 10 Nittany Lions take on the No. 22 Auburn Tigers. 

Pregame signage got the day started.

1. Little Brother Auburn

There was the customary “We want Bama” sign with an Auburn spin.

2. Auburn Shake and Bake

One fan went Talladega Nights on the Tigers.

3. Forrest Gump’s recruitment

Fans dug deep into Alabama legend and lore, and, of course, recruitment.

4. Bo Nix playing on the road, so ...

The Auburn quarterback hasn’t had his best games on the road, and Penn State fans seem to know it.

5. Bo Nix, part 2

Well, he isn’t wrong, I guess.

6. A White Out means Brown Out

It appears the Tigers will be a little overwhelmed during the White Out, according to the fans.

7. Quick hits
