Another Bowl Win

We were down...



But we weren't out!



Words can't explain how excited I am about the dual system we ran against A&M. It gives me hope for next year, and besides that, it's just so much more fun to watch.

I'll do a formal wrap up later, and one final edition of "The More You Know", but for now I'm just enjoying the win and the final football games of the season...it's the fourth quarter yet I still don't know who I want to win the Michigan-UF game.

There is actually a Penn State football game today.

I know, it doesn't sound right, but the Penn State University Nittany Lions will be playing the Texas Agriculture and Mining* University Aggies tonight at 8 pm. Damn that took a long time to type. Don't forget to review you "The More You Know" episodes this morning. There will be a test at halftime.


Penn State sold their tickets faster than any other school in the 15 year history of the Alamo Bowl, who says the Big Ten is slow?

What I'm Looking Forward To: Seeing Royster healthy, the possibility of our offense opening up, Connor and Lee for the last time, the possibility (please!) of seeing Clark and Devin actually throw a pass, a win.

What I Don't Care About: Morelli's last game, "Representing the Big Ten", the 700 different graphics ESPN will show telling us this is Paterno's 500th game

All in all, although this game might not mean much, I am surprisingly very excited just to see them play. It's been a long time, The Jersey has been on the floor too long.



* According to Wikiepdia, which is not even a real source, "A&M" doesn't actually stand for anything. I think this is bullshit. Almost as stupid and naming your kid J Leman.

The More You Know, Thursday Edition

The More You Know, Part I
The More You Know, Part II

Were you aware? That Texas A&M is the third wheel in their conference too? A&M always makes a big deal out of playing the Sooners and Longhorns during the regular season dispite the fact neither one would pick A&M as the first girl to go to the dance. Sound familiar?

(You know, to take a step back from the sarcastic informational tone for a second...I started this stupid 'The More You Know' bit because there just isn't that much to write about during the limbo period, but the more I look into this thing the more I realize that A&M truly is the Penn State of the Big XII, but, of course, with more guns and less hills.)

Want more proof A&M is the third wheel? Check this out. That's right, again, like Dear Old State, A&M has averaged the third best recruiting class over the past couple of years.

Texas A&M, just like Penn State since 1876, only more inbred.

The More You Know, Part I

"The More You Know" is an almost daily antidote for all Penn State faithful regarding their upcoming bout with the the Texas A&M Aggies. As Confucius says, "In order to kill you enemies, you must learn to love them"...or something like that.

Did you know? That Texas A&M was formally known as the "Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas"*. Opened in 1876, it was originally designed to be a part of the then-in-progress University of Texas. Ah! But not so fast my friend!


(Corso drops an F-bomb)
The Texas legislature soon redacted their intention, officially declaring A&M an independent school shortly after World War II.


"Texas A&M, just like Penn State since 1876, except flatter"
*Penn State was once named the "Agricultural College of Pennsylvania"...you see, we were a match made in Heaven!
