Random Posting for Penn State 11/18/17

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

1.)  Hey FS1 ... thanks for going to University Park for the first time ever today ... because that means the game was on a channel I still get and I could *watch* it instead of listening to it today.

2.)  In other news you heard before ... curse you Comcast/Xfinity for removing the big10 network from my package and making me *listen* to a handful of games this season.
3.)  I knew in advance that it was going to be inclement weather for today's game because the holiday parade in my hometown in central PA got postponed to next week (and not everyone on the FB was happy about that particular decision).
4.)  Funny thing about the power of suggestion -- it's in the low 80's down here in SoFlo, but seeing all the people shivering in the stands made me want to go grab an afghan for the couch.
5.)  A benefit of being able to *watch* the game meant that I could *see* the players ... which leads me to my question:  "Was that QB for Nebraska Tanner LEE rocking a porn 'stache?"
6.)  That was a *dirty* game.  Literally, not figuratively.  I know some football player moms that are gonna be pissed after having to deal with those uniforms (that's the way it works in college, right?)!
7.)  When Tommy STEVENS keeps the ball, I just want to yell "Run ... TOMMY ... RUN!" a la Forrest Gump.
8.)  Hey announcerpeople -- a "wad" of humanity?  Really?  That's the word that came to mind when there were too many boys around the ball to overturn the call?  A humanity "wad"?
9.)  I don't care what anyone else says.  *My* players of the week are going to *have* to be all the guys who were breaking records with the statistics tonight.  I was going to list them all out, but it seemed like something new was happening every other play (not that there's anything wrong with that).

In closing, thanks to all the seniors (even the guy who got ejected ... and the one who is a junior but doesn't plan to stick around for next year -- or maybe even play the bowl game) ... and here's to the final game in the season at Maryland at a time (and network?) yet to be announced.
