Well, folks, Penn State football is trading in the hills of Happy Valley for the bright lights and palm trees of The City of Angels.

Known for Hollywood, the Walk of Fame, and their world-famous music industries, here at Onward State, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to craft the perfect playlist to transport you to the city of stars.

With songs like “California Love,” by 2pac, or “Hotel California,” by the Eagles, this playlist is sure to get you in the perfect mood for gameday this weekend.

So happy listening! And let’s hope we go 1-0 this week, folks.
