Random Posting for Penn State 9/1/12

[It's a new season!  And a new format for my weekly bonus posts!!]

Here are Nine Nittany Nuggets from today's game ...

1.)  SO ... we really liked the first half of today's game.
2.)  We missed you Redd and Fera, but we understand completely.
3.)  Matt McG -- not to sound like your mother, but is it sanitary to clip your mouthpiece to your helmet like that and then to put it back in your mouth so frequently?  It just seems a little ... germy ... and we really need you to be healthy all season.
4.)  Mike Mauti -- not to sound like your mother, but methinks you need a haircut.
5.)  Mike Mauti -- never mind!  After we saw Day's helmet snapped off like that, please keep your hair at whatever length you need to in order to guarantee that your helmet stays on your head!
6.)  It was reported that Bill is considering having names on jerseys for just this year -- which we think is an awesome way to respect tradition and honor those who stayed to fight in this season.
7.)  Speaking of names, do you think Wartman and Butterworth really wanted their names plastered on their backs?  Just wondering ...
8.)  Anyone else, any time they went to the sidelines, mistake Bill O'Brien for Mike O'Malley?  Maybe it was the way he wore his hat, or the fact that every time they talked about Tyler Tettleton (and in today's game, they sure said his name a lot), I thought of Lord Tubbington -- so clearly Glee was on the mind.  And yes, I'm a Gleek (hey -- Glee has a football team on it, too, so what's your point?).
9.)  We'll admit it.  There was a certain burden that felt lifted once the boys scored for the first time at the end of the first quarter.  This too shall pass.  Now here's to playing well BOTH halfs of a game -- say, maybe, next week?

In closing, thank you Franco Harris for hosting Sue and family for part of the game today and the countdown to our next post-season game in 2016 stands at 59 more games (and we'll get there with a little work)!
