Here are 9 Nittany Nuggets from today's game:
1.) Revenge ... is a dish best served a year later ... in a sackless game.
2.) Although we do still have some challenges ... may I recommend a few more snap practices (assuming that's a thing)?
3.) So as I saw the marketing slogan of "unrivaled" plastered all over the stadium, it did make me wonder why everyone is trying to so hard to turn Rutgers ... and then Pitt ... into "rivals". If we fully believe in our slogan, then rivalries don't matter. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.
4.) Woo-hoo! Stripe out! (Maybe this only makes sense to those of a certain age, but for some reason, I want to play the wipe out song on my nose, and then holler "stripe out".)
5.) Okay boys ... above all else, let's keep these injuries to a minimum.
6.) And that goes DOUBLE for you Saquon BARKLEY -- even if the announcerpeople said that you were from Allentown, where people are "tougher than a five dollar steak".
7.) Speaking of those announcerpeople, I sure hope that Rick PIZZO has a side gig imitating Bush (43). Or maybe it was just the lighting from his sideline report today?
8.) And one last thing about those announcerpeople ... I know I often mock some of the things that they say (like how I groaned today out loud when they said the Owls were *wise* to it when discussing the play [get it? get it? wise owls?]), but I am actually fond of the saying you offered today of something to the effect of "you never want to pay twice for real estate".
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is GOTWIN ... or, more precisely, the McSORLEY/GOTWIN connection ... which was strong today.
In closing, thanks to all those who rallied around the memory of JoePa during the celebration of the 1966 team from his first win of his first season (remember you can still honor his legacy and also hate sex offenders) ... and here's to the beginning of conference play next week (at a time *still* tba?) against those nasty Wolverines.
