Random Posting for Penn State 4/22/17

Here are 9 Nittany Nuggets from today's spring football game:

1.)  Woo-hoo!  Penn State won!  And it was a blow-out!

2.)  You know what was a nice reminder?  Hearing again that we are the current Big10 champs!
3.)  Of course we knew that SAY-SAY wouldn't be playing today (and I'm assuming that I can call him SAY-SAY the way that the announcerpeople do as if we all grew up on the same block) ... but it was great to see him interviewed all the same.
4.)  By the way, I've got nothing against a Kid'nPlay haircut, but I do wonder if the 5'11" SAQUON might not be trying to use it to get above the 6 foot mark to intimidate his opponents.
5.)  Hey announcerpeople -- speaking of SAY-SAY, you guys declaring that he is now "100% man" was a little creepy.
6.)  Note to self:  don't panic.  That's Sean SPENCER and NOT Sean SPICER who will be contributing to the team's success this year.
7.)  And speaking of players being interviewed (as I did in the 3rd nugget), it was ALSO great to hear MCSORLEY interviewed on the field ... and was it me, or did he start to sound like Honey Boo Boo's daddy "Sugar Bear" at the beginning of the conversation?
8.)  Please please please?  Can *every* halftime include media people getting hit in the face while they try to catch punt returns?
9.)  I don't care what anyone else says.  *My* player of the week was back up QB Tommy STEVENS, who got to play the whole second half and show off his long ball skills.  Seeing as how we might only see him in the last few minutes of the games upcoming this season, it was nice to see our "depth" a bit during today's event. 

In closing, thanks to the Big10 Cancer Research Center, which was seen on all the advertisements today -- and which sounds like the *perfect* collaboration for teams that compete during the regular season ... 
and here's to taking on the Akron Zips in JUST about four short months over Labor Day weekend (summer hasn't started and yet it's already almost over)!
