Random Posting for Penn State 11/24/12

Here are 9 Nittany nuggets from today's game!

1.)  Well that was a bit of an unexpected nail-biter.
2.)  Taco Bell -- your choice to sponsor part of ESPN2's coverage of today's game was effective as we paused the game to run out and get an XXL Steak Nacho platter!
3.)  I'll give you this -- once those Badger boys start running, they just keep on going, don't they!?
4.)  And I'll also give you this -- I'm not the kind of guy to OD on an OCD like focus on stats, but congrats to Montee Ball and your NCAA record that was set during today's game.
5.)  Must every one of our touchdowns go under official review?
6.)  Good thing the FCC doesn't give fines for swear words that can clearly be figured out with only the most basic of lip reading skills -- or, as said more artfully by one of the announcermen, McGloin sure has been "emoting openly" today.
7.)  Atta boy Ficken!  It all came down to your kick in OT -- even more redemption for your slow start earlier this year.
8.)  Nice touch -- honoring 42 with the number on the helmets since Mauti couldn't play today!
9.)  Also a nice touch -- deciding to recognize this team for overcoming all that they did by adding 2012 to Beaver Stadium.

In closing, thanks to Mark Arcidiacono, Joe Baker, PJ Byers, Cody Castor, Derek Day, Andree Dupree, Emery Etter, Jacob Fagnano, Mike Farrell, Frank Figueroa, Patrick Flanagan, Michael Fuhrman, Jordan Hill, Gerald Hodges, Brian Irvin, Christian Kuntz, Evan Lewis, Pete Massaro, Michael Mauti, Matt McGloin, Shane McGregor, Stephon Morris, JR Refice, Matt Stankiewitch, Sean Stanley, James Terry, Jamie Van Fleet, Garrett Venuto, Mike Wallace, Mike Yancich and Michael Zordich ... and the countdown to our next post-season game in 2016 stands at 48 more games!

"See" you all Aug 31 at the new Meadowlands stadium!!
