1.) How does the team ranked the highest its been since 1999 kick off its 131st season? SPOILER ALERT: The answer is ... "with a shut-out".
2.) Although hey -- a million dollar payout for a trouncing such as this is perhaps money well gained, right Zippies?
3.) Hello there SAQUON and MCSORLEY and GASICKI ... we missed you.and we're glad to see you all back in action.
4.) Did they say Marcus ALLEN was a SIXTH year senior? As someone who was in college for most of a decade back in the 90's, I'm not judging or anything.
5.) I do believe in karma. You know karma -- like when the kicker on the other team flops like a pro basketball player and pretends to have been hit to get a re-kick ... that we promptly return for a TD on that ill-gained do-over. Karma.
6.) Hey announcerpeople -- can you come up with something other than "gaping hole" when you narrate the action on the field? It's a little too porny for my taste ...
7.) Hey announcerpeople -- can you maybe leave SAQUON's parents alone so they can watch the game? I'm pretty sure they didn't want to be interviewed in between plays, and I'm definitely sure that we didn't want to experience the awkwardness of that forced conversation.
8.) Sitting here watching the game in the FTL, I was surprised to find that half of the Akron team seemed to come from down here in SoFlo ...those poor boys who grew up *here* have to winter in Akron. My thoughts and prayers go out to them.
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is Tyler DAVIS -- for his record length of a field goal that he successfully kicked today!
In closing, thanks to John Capelletti, the only previous Heisman Trophy winner from Penn State ... we're hoping he gets some company *this* year (wink wink) ... and here's to hosting Pittsburgh next week in the 3:30 time slot! The season's only just begun!
