THON is tomorrow. Literally. That means it's time to make some THON Prop Bets! What is a prop bet, you may ask? A prop bet is short for proposition bet. Basically, it's a bet on something not commonly betted upon. For example, lots of people bet on the score of the Super Bowl, but how many people bet on how many times the winning coach will say "humbled" in the post-game press conference? That's a prop bet. You can find out more on Grantland (or research it yourself. I'm not doing your homework for you).
THON Weekend is full of rockin' bands, enthralling dance troupes, and many other acts.

It is hard to spend a day on campus without seeing at least a dozen people sporting THON gear, and this would not be possible without the hard efforts of the Merchandise Committee.
With an event of the magnitude of THON, acquiring the large amount of materials needed to create decorations that are scattered throughout the Bryce Jordan Center is quite a task, but where does it all come from?
FOr those who have seen it, the Bryce Jordan Center is a magical place on THON Weekend. Where many students have stood, cheering on the basketball teams, and chowin' down on dollar dog nights, is suddenly a technicolor landscape, bustling with silly hats, nostalgic decorations, and a stage that hosts some of State College's finest acts. However, this transformation is no simple process. OPPerations Overall Will Martin explains the hard work that his committee conducts in order for not only THON Weekend to happen, but many of the THON events leading up to it. He also expresses his undying love for one of the most American bands out there who has a special place in all of our hearts. Find your dreams actualized after the jump.
