As far as I could tell, they weren't much of a nuisance at the Nebraska game, as people generally avoided them.

Nice. Now I can finally hit one of them.

I didn't see any Westboro protesters at the Nebraska game. I did see a few folks protesting against the BoT for their firing of JoePa but that was about it.

I saw them after the game on the little hill in front of Gate B, I think.

No one takes them seriously. Just don't touch/talk to them or they will try to sue.

I saw them prior to the Nebraska game. They had a little fenced in enclosure near the corner of Park & Bigler. At the time, that area was entirely empty though as it got closer to gametime, more tailgaters may have filled in the area near them. There were also several police stationed around their enclosure.

I think like 10 total protesters showed up, a laughable effort.

Nice thought, but they are all lawyers and make quite a lot of money off of people hitting them, etc.
These people, IMO, are the scum of the earth ... I wish they would drink some special kool aid and be gone from this planet.
If winning was easy even losers would do it.

Too bad we're not playing Texas A&M, I'd bring a sign that says "GOD HATES AGS".

there are people who aren't idiots and are informed who believe PSU shouldn't play a bowl game to make a blanket statement that kids are more important than football. Like my sister. Now I can tell her she shares the sentiments of the Westboro Baptists. Good PR for PSU football. They only protest things that no one else in their right mind would protest.

Fine. Then I want Syracuse to forfeit their right to participate in the NCAA tournament.
