We’ve all been to a tailgate where one patron is a little too inebriated and spills a drink or commits some other kind of party foul.

Very few of us, however, have seen a helicopter wreak that kind of havoc.

But that was the case at many Penn State tailgates before last Saturday’s huge showdown against Ohio State. A video shared by the Barstool Penn State Twitter account shows a helicopter, reportedly being operated by state police, scattering other tents and other tailgate items.

Could you imagine going through the painstaking and costly process of setting up a tailgate, only to have a helicopter blow it all away in a matter of moments?

To make things even worse for Penn State fans, the Nittany Lions blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead to lose a one-point game against their conference rivals.
