1.) So, to clarify, as seen in the accompanying image, the game was April 16th ... but it was on my DVR until I finally watched it over Memorial Day weekend ... and now I'm getting around to posting about it today. Which is a Saturday, so there's that. And we're even closer to the start of the season now ... so does that make up for the lack of timeliness?
2.) Luckily, I got to see the whole show ... which the network fit in to the two hour slot despite there being a live lacrosse overrun (also for Penn State ... but a game we didn't win).
3.) Happily, this year's game had a "normal" scoring structure. The last one I watched (which was two years ago -- I missed last year's spring game) had me scratching my head and googling the rules.
4.) Stupidly, I still got confused, because it took me a bit too long to realize the blue qb was with the white team and the white qb was with the blue team.
5.) I do think the announcer guy was working a little too hard to make it look like he was just one of the guys, what with calling them SA-SA and HACK, as if they were his fraternity brothers.
6.) But I will give him credit for announcing that the 5'6" ALLEN was "quicker than a hiccup" ... which I have to admit is pretty damn quick.
7.) That is one sure way to guarantee that there are no sacks (to make us remember the troubles from last year) ... have a spring game rule that the qb is "off-limits".
8.) Speaking of qbs -- will MCSORLEY follow in the footsteps of that other MCqb from just a few years back (and it was good to get an update on MCGLOIN during the broadcast)?
9.) Congratulations! We won!! In a blowout!!! (No hurt feelings STEVENS -- since, after all, you're one of us!)
In closing, thanks to past player ROBINSON for saying in his interview what I've been saying during the whole drama these last few years -- that the names need to stay OFF the jerseys ... and here's to a Labor Day weekend game at Kent State!
