Aaaarrrribba! The leaves are turning and the weather is damp and cold and grey which could only mean one thing -- it's time for America's Greatest College Party Week. Fasten up your kickin' shoes and cheap ponchos! PUNTWEEK™ is here.
Wait, what's PUNTWEEK™?
Glad you asked! No live event can match the majesty of a high-flyin' poo-colored ball of pig flesh -- and thus PUNTWEEK™ was created to honor the most exciting play: the punt. Each year, punt appreciators from across the globe congregate in the exotic locales of either Bloomington, Indiana or State College, Pennsylvania for a week of events and revelry -- culminating with the premier attraction at PUNTWEEK™: an American Football competition between Indiana University and Pennsylvania State University.
Hold on, I've never heard of this. When was PUNTWEEK™ founded?
uh like ten minutes ago on this website
PUNTWEEK™ was established upon the one-year anniversary of the Greatest Intercollegiate Football Game Ever Played, last year's edge-of-your-seat thriller between Indiana and Penn State. The Nittany Lions took home the victory 13-7, but we all know the true winner -- you, the viewer.

Indiana and Penn State combined for *20* punts during this game, and thanks to PUNTWEEK™, the majesty of this game will never be lost or forgotten.
Ok, so, what happens during PUNTWEEK™?
Glad you asked! There's something for everyone during PUNTWEEK™!
