Centre County. home of Penn State went for Bush. This really surprises me because college towns are usually liberal. Why did this happen?

Why must every discussion of PA electoral geography turn into this bizarre row about "trends"?
If a week is a long time in politics, 15-20 years is eons. You cannot take a swing from one election and magnify it on a grand scale and expect it to be even slightly accurate.

As an example, in 1984, Mondale won Armstrong county and lost Lackawanna county.

We talking about trends because the category that this thread is in is "presidential election trends."
