Bienvenido a Miami!

Okay, probably.  It might still be !Bienvenido a Tempe! but it looks like State is the odds on favourite to head to the Orange Bowl, by virtue of their clinching the

 

2005 BIG{11}TEN CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

 

Here's the thing-- Penn State football is my favourite sports team not called the "Pittsburgh Pirates."  They mean FAR more to me than the Stillers. It's true, it's true. This, probably their most unexpectedly good season in team history, has been one hell of a ride, and I just hope it ends with a great win in Miami.  With any luck, perhaps Beddy, Grampy, and someone else will be willing to go along for the ride?

 

And I will swear to you: if the football gods smile upon Happy Valley, and the Nits end up playing in Pasadena, I don't care if i have to walk there-- you can count on me at least standing outside of the National Championship Game.

 

That being said- here's an AWESOME LINK -- click on the menu where it says "Rose Bowl 2" for a downloadable NCAA version of TECMO SUPER BOWL.  The only bad thing is that the Nits'll probably suck. Ah well, they will have ZACK "Cadillac" MILLS, my former dad.

 

I have to run for now-- hopefully I'll post tomorrow with my Official List of Things I'm Thankful for in 2005.

 

In the meantime, mull over The AIW for 11/19/05:  It's NOVEMBER 19-- WHY ARE YOU PLAYING CHRISTMAS MUSIC???? THANKSGIVING HASN'T EVEN COME YET.... 'nuff said.

 

peace out-- give us some of your favourite PSU thoughts.  I'll hopefully put together a retrospective on the Lions, '95-'05, soon.

 

PS:  Let it be known that I want a Posluzny (#31) bowl-patch jersey, as soon as they're available. If not him, then the Lion King (#7).  (this means TELL MOM, ADINA, OR WHOEVER HAS MY NAME, GOODER!)
