With that being said, then just why is that
1980 CCB birthday button so "special" ?
Isn't it time to de-classify the "Happy 125th" button as an official
button in the PSU football game day button collection?
(After all they took Pluto's planetary status away, didn't they?)





At least the "special" buttons of 1978 had something to do
with football even if they weren't game day buttons:


   



What's so "special" about everybody doing the same thing?
Besides, if "Happy 125th" is an official button, then why aren't
the two "blood" buttons shown here in the official 1983 collection?
Blood has more to do with football than birthdays!

Here's a better look at the PSU blood button:



Now that I've created a "bloody" mess with the birthday button
declassification, I'll bleed out with some more blood buttons:

(what a shameless, pitiful segue, huh?)
