1.) And so begins another season ... both on the field and on the blog/FB on Saturdays until Thanksgiving (plus a bowl game --- let's not forget the bowl game).
2.) I blame HACKENBERG (now with the Jets), but MCSORLEY just looked so tiny. I get that he's 6'1" and 201 lbs (officially), but I just got used to seeing such a big guy in that spot these last few years ...
3.) Speaking of big guys ... here's hoping 6'6" Evan SCHWANN's injury heals easily.
4.) Hey coach ... a point-after in the hand is worth a failed two-point conversion in the bush so early in the game. I spent the rest of the time watching the score afraid that would come back to bite us in the end.
5.) I'm all for the no-names-on-the-jersey rule revival, but I will admit it took me a bit too long to figure out if Workman was working with White, or White with Workman until they finally flashed Nyeem WARTMAN-WHITE's name on the screen.
6.) And hey announcerpeople ... how's about a little more enunciating. Kent State and Penn State should have sounded like two different teams, and most of the time it didn't.
7.) In honor of those announcerpeople, here's this week's edition of "football announcer or gay porn", as in from which one was this quote heard: "he was very excited about how open his tight end was". Hint: the answer is always going to be football announcer, despite what you might think otherwise.
8.) I'm just going to come out and say it. I bet when BARKELEY gets wasted at a party, he's a really good dancer -- based solely on his gameplay footwork.
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week was big ole Joey JULIUS, and that hit he put on that poor Kent State player when he knocked him into last week (which, ironically, would have been the pre-season).
In closing, thanks to Penn Stater Neha GUPTA, featured in a commercial on the Big 10 network for her winning the International Children's Peace Prize for her charity work with Empower Orphans (see link below/to follow) ... and here's to doing next week to the Panthers what we did this week to the Golden Flashes!
