Random Posting for Penn State 11/9/13

Here are 9 Nittany Nuggets from today's game:

1.)  ... although, in reality, I should probably only post three of them, since I only caught the last 20 minutes of play in this game (way too many people were running errands this Saturday morning, and the DVR only "saves" so much in the buffer).
2.)  ... and since the game was "over" at halftime, that wasn't a very exciting third to see.
3.)  Congrats to you Mr. ROBINSON, even if you were a sideline sourpuss by the end of the game, for your new record for most receiving yards in a season.
4.)  So this Jerry Kill is a turnaround expert, eh?  The graphic showed that he did time at Southern Illinois, then Northern Illinois and now Wisconsin.  At this northerly migration rate, he'll be in coaching in Canada next!
5.)  Anyone else see announcer person Beth Mowins wearing OJ gloves today?
6.)  Hey TCF Bank ... nice stadium.  Now I know what you did with all my excessive overdraft fees!
7.)  According to the all-knowing Wiki, the gopher nickname for Minnesota came from a political cartoon that satirized a government "pork" railroad project back in the day.  The more things change ... the more things stay the same, eh?
8.)  Ok gopher kids, I know you were excited to win and set some 40 year old record, but did you have to break the trophy?
9.)  Any attempts at kidding aside ... take care of yourself and your epilepsy there Jerry Kill.  Football's just football ... your health is paramount.

In closing, thanks to the veterans recognized during the game and to all for whom they stood in by proxy ... and the countdown to our next post-season game that may or may not be as late as 2016 stands at no more than 39 more games (but may be a bit less)!
