A ticket misprint showed the September 25 Penn State v. Temple game as the White House game for 2010.

In the past, the whiteout or "White House" has been staged against high profile foes like Notre Dame, Illinois and Iowa. Temple's reputation would have made it a curious selection for 2010, so it's no surprise that the athletic department is trying to clear up the mistake.

That said, the situation is no less humorous. "Wear White...no, don't wear white...well, you can wear white, you just don't HAVE to wear white...even though you don't technically have to wear white even if we were telling you to wear white, which we're not, even though it really looks like we're telling you to wear white..."
