For years now, Penn State fans have belted out the lyrics to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" during home games. However, that tradition will reportedly come to an end this year. Thanks to the Jerry Sandusky scandal, PSU officials have banned the song from being played during games at Beaver Stadium because of some of the song's lyrics that include lines like "touching me, touching you."

Seem silly? Eh, we think it's probably for the best. Plus, there's nothing worse than watching a bunch of douchey college kids hyped up off too much Keystone Light singing that song. Ugh. Good riddance.
