Random Posting for Penn State 11/27/10

So whether we get to play spoiler or not today (and with the three way tie atop the Big 10 rankings, I think there are many others competing to play that role), I'd like to retire two things:

1.) The sounds from the muted chorus of folks who want JoePa to retire. With so much promise in the ranks, surely he can finish out his contract, no? Freshman talent, if they stay out of trouble, should lead to an exciting "wait until next year" (and not in the half-hearted Cubs kind-of-way)!

2.) The overuse of the word swagger by sportscasters. Where did that come from? Have Old Spice commercials forced that word into the common lexicon? If everybody has swagger, then no one has swagger, right?

Will today continue the 44 year old tradition of MSU not winning in Happy Valley? Is the Land Grant Trophy ours? There's a half of play left, so it remains to be seen. Regardless, I look forward to another random posting on the day of our bowl game ...
