In today's pre-Penn State press conference, interim HC Gerad Parker formally announced the cancellation of the 211 Session.
For those that didn't know, the 211 Session was a pregame event devised by Darrell Hazell in 2013. At every home game, the AAMB would march in to Mackey Arena and play songs starting 2 hours and 11 minutes before the kickoff. This normally started at 9:49 AM.
Now, the pregame show will be renamed to the "All-American Pregame Show". Not to be confused with the actual pregame show which happens on the field. The show will still be in Mackey Arena. The new show will start at 10:15 AM almost 30 minutes later than the 211 Session. It appears it will be this way for the rest of the 2016 season.
