[It's time again, like last year, for a bonus post each Saturday (and once in the bowl season, hopefully) ... and, with today's game on the DVR and me only halfway through the second quarter, I'm going to take a risk that we didn't completely blow our "practice" against Youngtown State and still comment even though the game has already ended in real time.]
One would assume that a nittany lion would totally take a penguin (aren't all linebackers fat in the middle and tapered at both ends like this bird?) ... but having the nittany lion be drunk during the battle would be unpredictable and unfair, no? So when the freshman who was awarded the prize of putting on the mascot uniform after doing 50 one arm pushups (and some other hazing/auditioning) was found passed out in the back of a truck having stolen someone's rearview mirror (there are surely more pieces to this story that have yet to be told), he just had to be replaced for the first month of games. With the starting quarterback also a true freshman, let's hope somebody's keeping these fresh faces on a short leash or that they've made friends early on campus that can cover up their trangressions.
