This past Saturday I visited Happy Valley for what was a sloppy but good football game. The Nittany lions of Penn State defeated the Golden Knights of Central Florida 37-13. Despite several turnovers by senior quarterback Zack Mills (4 fumbles, 2 INTs) the Lions managed to win their third game of the season by more than 20 points. Tony Hunt lead Penn State with 125 yards for 3 touchdowns.
Next up for Penn State: Wisconsin
West Virginia is my pick for this years Nation Champion. They have the running game, the quarterback, and more importantly the schedule. Much like the 2002 Ohio State Buckeye’s, West Virginia has the perfect schedule to make a run for the title. West Virginia has rolled over thier first two oponents and tomorrow’s battle withMaryland will be a coming out party for Rich Rodriguez and the Mountaniers. Thier only tough game is with Virginia Tech (who jumped ship to the ACC) and the season ending “Backyard Brawl” against Pitt on Thanksgivings Day at 8:00pm.
Meanwhile I’m off to see the once proud Nittany Lions do battle against UCF
At a speach yesterday First Lady Laura Bush was met with questions by the mother of a fallen solider. Sue Niederer wore a shirt that read “President Bush You Killed My Son” as she stood up an shouted questions at the First Lady. As she began to shout her questions the Cult-like audince broke into a chant of “FOUR MORE YEARS, FOUR MORE YEARS!” Which is great, because why would try to answer these questions. I think, like the administration that it’s better off to just not question or rethink what you’re doing as long as we move forward. Why couldn’t the cult crowd give the First Lady a chance to ask the question. I’m sure she had an elegant answer to Ms. Niederer’s questions.
