Here are 9 Nittany Nuggets from today's game:
1.) Hey announcermen ... what's with those long coats and gloves? And what does 44 degrees mean? That's *half* of the year round temperature to which I am now accustomed.
2.) So Edgar Allan Poe and Jon Voight both play for Army? Does everyone on that team have an alias?
3.) That's a lot of our boys out on injury this week ... thoughts are with you each for a speedy recovery.
4.) Statistic I like ... 1st time since '08 that we're undefeated at home.
5.) Other statistic I like ... we've scored first every game this season!
6.) Last statistic I like ... we're in the midst of our longest homestand since 1922, when one of the teams played was Lebanon Valley. Hey -- I *know* that school!
7.) Now a statistic I don't like ... with 3 more sacks today, the average sacks-per-game stays at 3 even instead of falling further as I'd hoped.
8.) Hey announcermen (reprise) ... I don't think describing someone as "being built like a bowling ball" is quite the compliment you all intended.
9.) Disconcerting signals ... NOT the name of a college rock band ... but a rarely used PENALTY. Play nice, Army, play nice!
In closing, and despite nugget #9, thanks to the military, honored today during the game ... and here's to another early game next week, this time in conference play against the Hoosiers!
