#22 Illinois - 24, #12 Penn State - 38

Wow, haven't had a chance to blog in a month, but there is PLENTY to blog about.  How about Penn State?!?!  5 - 0 for the first time since 2005 (that magical, just-missed-it year).  Well, I'll tell you what.  This 08 team is ten times better than the 05 team.

While this game started out a little sluggish, I had little doubt that the offense could not come back.  Illinois scored first, Penn State followed.  Illinois scored again, PSU countered.  It was tit-for-tat like that until the 3rd quarter where we just opened ... Read More »

Coastal Carolina - 10, #22 Penn State - 66

The long wait of the summer has finally paid off, and the crashing of pads and crunching of helmets for Penn State is now back!  And boy did it come back today!  Today's first game of the season proved why I have such high expectations of the team this year.  3 awesome senior receivers; 2 super underclassmen running backs; 2 capable QBs; special teams;  the only real question was defense.  While the defense did okay today, it was the offense that shined.  Wow - did I actually say that?  It has been a LONG time since I've been able ...

Today is my dad's 79th birthday, although I lost him in 2004.  I really miss him.  Marring this event was nothing less than harassing phone calls from my fugitive brother.  Yes, that's right.  Everyone who's been following this epic is wondering...

I will be asking York County Sheriffs department for a mug shot so it can be post on this site and around the internet.  Anyone with information as to his where abouts will receive a $5000 reward from me personally, so stay tuned for the mug shot.  Apparently he has become too comfortable living as a fugitive.  He has a job (which I bet lasts no more than 3 ...

This past Friday I went to see my [currently] favorite band in concert at the Giant Center: LIVE.  It was the first concert I'd been to since Tim McGraw and Faith Hill a couple of years ago.  Not as good seats, either.  In fact, I'm not sure if it was where I sat, but they didn't sound that good.  But regardless, I think they put on a good show, and the fans were for the most part pretty electric.  I was a little disappointed that they didn't sell out the arena.  Highlight of the evening: had to be when they did their version - as Eddie said "a good version of a great song" - Johnny Cash's I Walk the Line.  I f ...

That's right, it's not too far away now!  NFL Football preseason starts the first week of August, and there's a lot to be on the look out for.  I joined one fantasy keeper league and inherited Brett Favre.  Do I keep him, or cut him loose?  He had a great year last year, but where will he be?  Green Bay?  Carolina?  Atlanta?  Chicago?  Who knows...  I may have to cut him loose.  I'm very interested to see how Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco do in preseason.

Our draft for the one league is August 24th, so I should have a good idea of who I want for QB if they're available.& ... Read More »
