Random Posting for Penn State 11/3/12

Here are 9 Nittany nuggets from today's game!

1.)  And ... we're back on track!
2.)  The more they talk about how chilly it is in West Lafayette, the more I want chili -- which, since the days of Uniontown and my surrogate grandmother JoAnne, I can only eat with Scoopable Fritos on top!
3.)  I don't know if anyone is keeping track, but it sure seems like we always win the coin toss at the beginning of the game this year, no?
4.)  I can only rely on the announcermen for info, but did we play against a kneeless wonder of a QB today?  Is that what they kept on saying?
5.)  Speaking of announcermen, Zordich gets his speed from his father, and his fancy footwork from his cheerleader momma, right?
6.)  Atta boy Sammy Ficken!  Soon the whole beginning of this season will be but a distant memory!
7.)  Jesse James.  6ft 7 inches tall.  Who's gonna tackle him?
8.)  Fisher's ready to fight!  Fitzgerald goes topless in 30 degree weather!  Let's give the sidelines its own aftershow!
9.)  I think I heard it said at least once, but it's worth repeating.  Go to redcross.org to see how you can support the SuperStormSandy relief efforts.

In closing, thanks to this bar in West Lafayette (9 Irish Brothers) which appears to be a PennState bar in the midst of a Purdue town (unless it's bait ... but I'm guessing it's more an allegiance a la the ancestry and red hair of McGloin) ... and the countdown to our next post-season game in 2016 stands at 51 more games!

SAID THE ANNOUNCERMAN -- WELL HE CAN'T REALLY HURT IT ANY WORSE:
