Random Posting for Penn State 10/3/15

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!
