Maybe this is why the more rabid get called Nittany Nazis with a story like this.

A woman told police a group of cheerleaders standing in front of a downtown business plastered her with stickers and one hit her in the face Friday, police said.

Police said they are investigating the allegations after an independent witness came forward and verified the woman’s story. Both said that after the woman refused to take a sticker being handed out by Penn State cheerleaders Friday afternoon in front of the Student Book Store, she went inside the business and left via another exit to avoid the group.

The cheerleaders saw the woman leave the store and followed her, police said. They surrounded the woman and put stickers on her, and one of the cheerleaders hit her in the face, the woman told police.

Officers are attempting to interview several of the cheerleaders to get their version of events, said Cpl. Mark Argiro with the State College Police Department.

The thuggery now goes beyond their football team.

I actually felt kind of bad for my dad (a PSU alum) while we watched the Badgers physically whup the Lions. He just looked so depressed watching the game, and would mutter things under his breath about Paterno.
